do you sleep in the complete dark?

[MeatPeatCeat]

as in no light whatsoever

Yes, can't bear any light at all.

No lights on in the house but if I were to look towards the window I can see dim light from a street light further down my road or moonlight on a full moon.
I guess if we got better curtains it could be pitch dark.

No, I sleep with my curtains open.

Yes, lights off and windows covered with black out curtains. Nice and cosy

Nope, light on in downstairs hall so the creepy men cant get upstairs without me seeing them first

No lights on, black out curtains and I wear an eye mask.

Bathroom light on all night and have street lamp that is outside bedroom window . Bedroom dark enough though with blinds closed . Gets too light though in the summer.

Yes

The TV is on 😬

100%. I wouldn't sleep otherwise!

I like blackout. We do have a digtal clock which is very dim, the only light in the room. We also need blackout for DH who is a night worker and sleeps in the day.

No light at all, no street lights, metal blackout blinds ( not in the UK)

I have a blind and 2 sets of lined curtains. To be fair it is a bay window so the other set comes across the bay to keep the cold out of the rest of the room in Winter. I'm a light sleeper so need complete darkness otherwise I wake at 4am in summer and can't get back to sleep. Ironically I was frightened of the dark when I was a kid.

No lights on at all, not blackout curtains though so dim light from street lights.
It's taken me a long time to get to this point..my husband is often away and for years I could hardly sleep whilst he was away, telly on, bedside lamps on etc which made for terrible light nights sleeps. Since I have ensured lights are off and electronics are off I have slept so much better and it has become the norm, so much so that I don't really think about it.

Not, couple of tech lights on.

Not any more. I started to get nightmares so have a night light in the hall

Very lazily haven’t yet moved almost two year old in to her own room, so she has a star projector night light that’s on in my bedroom. Tbh I don’t think she cares about it one way or the other, but I quite like it 😁

No. Hall light on, bedroom door open.

I have all the lights off and a darkish curtain but I don't need total darkness. DH is much more particular.

Blackout blinds, thick curtains, mask just in case. Also ear plugs. Lifelong insomniac. Drives DH insane as I have to move all the curtains so no light can get in.

I have blackout curtains to stop early morning light waking me in the summer, but I can't bear to be in total darkness. I need to know I haven't suddenly gone blind. A digital clock display will do the trick. I also need to know what time it is.

I need pitch black and silence. We have blackout curtains and nothing electrical in the room (apart from DH’s alarm which isn’t in my view).

No house lights but sure street lights, moon is through the curtains

I always have until recently - now I have to leave the door open a little so our new cat can get in and out (she wants to sleep ok my bed and I’ve given in!) Annoyingly, that means I get some light from streetlights coming in the door now.

I’m sure I’ve read that it’s better for you to sleep in the dark - it helps regulate your metabolism much better.

No. I fall asleep with the tv on (friends and how I met your mother on rotation)

It turns off after a few hours as it's on a timer, and if I wake in the night I'll put it back on and fall back to sleep.
