I lie and stare at my curtains. I love when there’s a bit of light from outside and you can see outline of them. Really relaxes me, that, and not having voices.

After my first psychosis I used to need a night lamp on and the door open so that I didn’t feel trap. Also I didn’t like sleeping on top of my bunk bed anymore cos I felt like the ceiling was making me claustrophobic. It’s been 3 years since then I can sleep with lights off now

I can’t sleep with light in my room.
When I get the money I’m going to blackout the windows.
I read that it’s best to sleep in a room with no light whatsoever.
However, I can sympathize with those who need light.

I sleep with a small light on in the kitchen, so I can see to walk to the bathroom during the night.

I keep a night light on right above where my cat’s food and water bowls are. It’s both to help him see them and to help me see the route to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I’m not scared to sleep in the dark.

I prefer total darkness, because I hate when I can see those people in my room when I sleep.

On the downside, once I woke up and had to pee so bad, but it was so dark I found myself “stuck” at this wall, and couldn’t figure out where I was, nor the light switch.
Happy ending though, I crawled on the floor until I found the bathroom, in time of course.

They think your metabolism slows down with any kind of light on when you sleep including tv.
