Yes, I crave the darkness. At the moment I am being forced into exposure to light. If I had my way I'd stay in a dark room during the day, and only go out at dusk/night. The brightness of day hurts me. The dark is comforting.

During the day, yes. Especially since ,in the summer, it's hotter than the sun where I live.

I always use a night light, though. I've got trauma from something that happened to me in the dark of the night.

Yes, I have black trash bags covering my windows. A lot of the reason I did that though is so that it is easier to sleep during the day. My sleep schedule can be a mess sometimes.

Yes. I have light sensitivity due to a mix of my autism, astigmatism and anti depressants. Too much light gives me migraines. Constant pitch black isn't good though so I'll have my lights set to a dim purple colour.

You and my late husband. I often wondered if it was because he was depressed or if it really was a simple as the light hurting his eyes -- because that was his excuse.

I am the exact opposite. I have to have every single light in the house on in order to read a book in my library -- with the door closed. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

I have to have my room dark during the day so I can sleep. I work at night, so I'm stuck in a bright building all night.

If I could, my entire 24 hours would be total darkness.

I used to keep it bright, but the sun was heating my room up way too much. Now I have blackout curtains that keep it nice and cool.

You know, I never really thought about it but maybe that's part of why I have all the lights on. I have the most horrid migraines -- when I'm in the middle of s bad headache, I don't want ANY light. Lol So, it's either one extreme or the other for me. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 Typical ... Lol 🙄🙄🤣🤣

Yeah, I feel safer in the dark. For some reason, light makes me feel vulnerable, like I'm being exposed or something like that. But in the darkness, I feel like I can almost merge with it, hide completely in the dark, and that makes me feel safe.

During the day no, ive had to keep the curtains and windows open cause I keep getting wasps in my room but, if I was less hotter and the wasps and flies could fuck off, I would definitely have my curtains closed.
I feel like im able to have my curtains closed and the light off during the day because its not pure darkness.
During the night no lol
Ive been terrified of the dark since I was a kid, I always thought that it would disappear as I got older but, no.
I always sleep with lights on in my room, aka a lamp, definitely not the main light, thats too bright.

My room is always dark, regardless of if I want it or not. There's a shed that goes halfway up my window, blocking a majority of sunlight, and the shutters are broken in a way where they're permanently closed. If I want light, I have to lift up the blinds all the way, but I'm usually too lazy for that ‎꜀( ꜆-ࡇ-)꜆

I used to have tin foil covering my windows, gorilla-taped on. Now I've moved house and my current room has black-out curtains and blinds on top of that. Doesn't keep all the light out like the "Wall of Jericho" (my name for the tin-foil-tape-barrier) but it works about as well as would be reasonably expected.

No, it makes my mood even worse. Plus, I work from home. Not that easy to work in the dark. I don't want my mood to be any worse than it is now. I feel obliged to live at the moment, so I don't want to make it any more difficult for myself.

I like light in my bedroom sort of area, but if it's near where my computer is and stuff the window is involuntarily open which is really annoying. The glare gets on the monitor and can make it really hard to see at certain times of day, especially in the mornings. I'm too lazy to install fans or a blackout curtain though and i'd ideally like some light, so I guess I just have to make do.

Nah, just when its slightly dim I turn on the light because i already wear glasses and dont want my vision getting worse (even tho it is). But at night when I stay up I do have lights off..

I'm lucky that my room has two windows. I keep the curtains closed on the window where the sun is shining and switch in the afternoons. Hate the sun glaring at me though.
