It is very important to truly block as much light as possible, during sleep, to maintain your health.

I have used eye masks when the room I was sleeping in had light. I also turn any lit clock away from me and rely on my wristwatch for time (which has luminescent watch arms). I use my cell phone for my alarm.

Also, don’t use a night light.

Let me guess. Night lights are racist too.

If you need a night light because you have to get up several times a night for various reasons. They do have led adjustable nightlight. You can set it very low with just enough light to illuminate the room Just enough to avoid tripping over items. We have a couple to help prevent falls.

I just light a bonfire in the middle of the room.

There is no survey for before the light bulb was invented so it’s a farce because of a lack of a control.

I cover all the little electronic type lights in my bedroom, some with tape. I cannot sleep with any light at ALL, but electronic light is worse than incandescent light.

There would be no sleep with light.

I just sleep with my eyes closed.

At this point in time, my BLADDER controls my ‘circadian rhythms.’ ;)

Our house is pitch, and I mean PITCH BLACK if there are no nightlights. ‘Can’t see your hand in front of your face,’ type of dark. Totally unsafe for me and mine.

I don’t have a nightlight in the bedroom, but in the adjoining bathroom, for the reason stated above.

Beau can sleep through a nuclear war, so I’m not worried about him...yet! ;)

Light rhythm rules the pineal gland. The pineal gland rules the release cycle of melatonin. Melatonin cycles rule insulin release, and the rhythms of the orexin nervous system. The orexin nervous system governs the release of many enzymes and hormones.
