Light on/ Light off?

The Backwards Man

Which do you prefer?

For sleeping like?

Osmosis Jones

Can't afford to be keeping the lights on all night now.

WilyCoyote

How do I know - I'm asleep

Peregrine

Light off and curtains and blinds closed. I couldn't sleep any other way.

takamichinoku

Like, a bedside lamp or something? The idea of sleeping with a 100 watt bulb beaming down on me sounds like the craziest thing in the world.

I sleep with the lights off and a pillow over my head.

Ruu

Just a small nightlight in the hall so I won't trip over the cats things.

whirlpool

Light off. There has to be ZERO light anywhere in the room, not even light coming in through the keyhole.

Unless I'm really tired, in which case easily I could fall asleep in the middle of the St Patricks Day parade.

But if I'm in the house on my own and I hear a noise in the middle of the night - light on!

Duggy747

I can never decide so I just bought a strobe light instead.

Griever931

After living in a town for a couple of years now I've gotten used to having a bit of light and find total darkness a bit unsettling now.

I suppose you could almost say, I sleep with the light... off!

Turn that fuckin light off!

biko

I'm a grown man. Haven't slept with the light on since...... I saw The Grudge

Btw, when I saw the thread title I assumed it was gonna be about having sex, and I was going to say always on! I don't get why people turn the light off.

Ahem.

Sorry, back to your sleeping talk...

the room has to be pitch black for me! if my landlord was nice, I'd have a black-out blind!

TheBegotten

Honestly, how do you sleep with any sort of light? I can't even take naps in the daytime.

Packrat

Couldn't give a rats ass. I'll sleep just fine either way.

I thought it was gonna be about wall painting

Dublin Red Devil

My bedroom I need darkness. I'll leave a hall light on though to see where I'm going when I get up for a slash

What's the difference between light and hard?

You can go to sleep with a light on!


















I'll get me coat...

I like those airline masks - with a couple of 4mm holes so I can see out when/if necessary.

If no mask available then use sock.
If clean sock goto sleep else leg part closest to nose.

Last resort: Wax on, wax off. Then please FO.

Banjo String

Immediately thought of mr miyagi when I seen title.

Pumpkinseeds

Light off, but it's never really that dark in a town. We used to go to my MIL's house in rural Linconshire and that was true dark at night with no street lights. That was great.

Was this intentionally written as sudo code?

Off, the more darkness the better the sleep.

Exactly. I'm not 8 anymore. Wouldn't be able to go asleep with any bit of light in the room.

sbsquarepants

Sleeping with the lights on is much the same as watching the telly with your eyes closed - absolutely fúcking pointless. Also I heard before that it's very bad for your eyes in the long term, I don't see how it could be, but I read it on the internet so it must be true.

I've seen many such parades around this country which have the effect of putting me to sleep.

She's my husband's mother, there's nothing milf about her, take my word for it.

Oh, you're a lady! It gets better:cool:

Crumpets

I need total darkness. I hate when people keep leaving the hall light on and it shines through that stupid window over my door :mad:

Light off

jester77

What type of an idiot would sleep with the lights on?

You're asleep, eyes closed, no need for lights.

The Peanut

Suffered insomnia for many years. Nothing worked. Acquired 3 kids. Can now sleep with curtains open, in daylight......

Bang_Bang

Lights off for sleeping , lights on for pounding the love pudding.

You have to keep your toes under the blanky and then they can't get them.

So that if someone breaks into your room, they'll immediately be able to see you and murder you?
Is it not better to keep the element of surprise, and the slight advantage you might have in knowing the layout of your room better in the dark?
Unless you mean hearing noises that could be rats or giants spiders scuttling about your room..
