How do you sleep? With or without light?

I sleep with the lights off. I even have an eyepad to help block the light that comes in towards the morning hours. I tend to wake easily so hearing noises or seeing lights, even the sun, wakes me up.

I can't sleep with any light on. When I was a kid though, I couldn't sleep without my tv being on which is odd. xD Though perhaps it's because I was somewhat afraid of the dark as a kid.

Wait, people sleep with light?! I can’t sleep unless it’s pitch black - I thought that was normal.

I sleep with the lights off. I can’t sleep with any lights on. I prefer total darkness in my room.

I have always struggled to sleep with any kind of light unless I was so tired, I passed out with a light on.

I always sleep with the light off and have done so since around my teen years, before that, I was always scared to sleep in the dark.

I need it pitch black during the day in order to take a nap during the day. I have blackout curtains, but those don't quite work well with light leaking through the corners. So, I use a small blaket for my eyes.

As for night, it's a lot darker, but not completely blacked out due to ambient city light. However, that doesn't bother me enough and I'm able to sleep fine.

It doesn't matter to me. When I nap, I do lights on so I wake up. When I'm in bed at night, the lights are off but blinds don't matter to me. No sleeping mask either.

Without light, most of the time. I am a very light sleeper so ...I don't usually have any lights on.

Sometimes I wish I could sleep anytime and anywhere... But.. Oh well No wonder I get migraines often (_ _)/ . I wish I could hypnotize myself into sleeping...

I wouldn't want to fall asleep anywhere lol. I'd be afraid I would fall asleep while driving or in a chair which can lead to a stiff neck.

Sorry... Should have made it clear..I can't really relax in a new place. I struggle quite a bit to fall asleep... Probably that's why I don't like travelling... All that much.

I wish I could switch off my brain during those times. I usually feel nauseous in a 10 hour flight and sometimes I skip meals... Thanks to it

I also struggle to sleep in a new environment lol. Which might bite me in the butt tonight since I might have to stay in a hotel since our water pressure isn't great. I can't call into work since I did so today.

This also happens to me as well. It takes me a while to get used to sleeping in a new environment. It kind of sucks when I go somewhere or out of town.
