Do you always turn your lamp OFF when you go to sleep ?

If I was to leave a lamp/light on in the room when I was about to go to sleep.. . I know already that I wouldn't sleep all to well. I think if I was to feel the light on my face it would cause me to wake up & have difficulties going back to sleep all over again. I know that in the past when my other half & me lived in an apartment a year or two ago... There we're a few times where I would try to leave some form of light on, such as a lamp.. And it would end up waking me up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I'd also forget that I had left the lamp/light on & it would some-what startle me a little. I'd wake up thinking someone was in the room or something. Or someone had broken in to the apartment & was stealing some of our belongings. haha. I sleep a lot better without any light or lamp on within the room quite honestly. I find when it is dark within the room that is when I sleep the best. I also have put up darker curtains & have even put foil on the windows to prevent light from coming within the room when I am wanting to sleep. As I know when summer time rolls around down here the sun can be rather bright on ones eyes. Which doesn't help me to sleep all to well but instead wakes me up automatically. So in conclusion.. I need the room to be dark in general without any light flowing through.. Or I find I don't sleep half as good as I do compared to when the lamp is on, or if there is any light shining through the room some how! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

when its nighttime,I have to sleep with the lamp off, if its daytime I dont mind so much but I prefer total darkness!*smiles*

Well it's not like i can't sleep when the lights is on. But i definetly prefer lights off. Well i really like silent and solitude. i think the abscense of lights give me the time and space to be alone and i can go to sleep. :)

I have a bad habit of sleeping with some sort of light source, I'm 19 but still I don't like the dark, cause if I wake up in the middle of the night I can panic if I don't see anything, or if my eyes play ticks on me. I've also had some bad experiences with the light off like when you wake up with a real bad need of going to the WC when your feeling sick or just urgent toilet call, as you don't have time to think of switching the light on, but without it you might trip on or over something like a shoe. I always sleep with my tv on. Sometimes when I have a real bad feeling for some reason, like after a bad horror movie I'll leave the tv and lamp on but that's rare! Some of the bad experiences include paranormal, but don't want to go into it to much at risk of being mocked at!

I cannot sleep if it is turned on.It has to be turned off.

yes i always turn off my lamp.i cant sleep with light.i tried some times but i simply cant.there are some of my friends who keep lamps on while they sleeping.
