Do you keep your room dark?

[Forveleth]

I used to, but then I educated myself on sleep as I have insomnia. Humans need light to tell the body to wake up and darkness to tell us when it is time to sleep. If the temperature is good, I will open my blinds in the morning to let in light and close them about an hour before I go to bed. I also use bulbs of varying brightness around my house to help regulate my sleep cycle (what little of it exists). I find if I stay in the dark all day my body does not know what time it is and I sleep even worse than normal.

I will add I wish I could sit in the dark all the time. I would honestly love to live underground.

When I didn't have any control of my sleep schedule, I did like it dark all the time. But now, I usually wake up around the same time every day. I usually open my windows because the natural light does feel good to me. But, I like it dark at night; and I dim my computer monitors at night if I'm on my PC late at night.

I like it pitch black when I sleep. Sometimes I'll sleep with my AirPods on noise cancelling mode with some relaxing piano music or storm sounds; they help to relax me a little bit. And, sometimes, I do wake up a bit earlier than I want to. So, I do want to get some black out curtains; because, right now, if I wake up early, all the light being in my room makes it hard for me to fall back asleep. They're definitely on my shopping list~
