Do you (or someone you know) sleep with the bedroom lights turned on?

I was dating this wonderful woman who asked me to spend the night with her (her aparment had been burglarized, recently) and she insisted on her nightstand lamp being on all night, claiming that she always slept that way. (I slept on her couch in the living room.)

The next day, we compromised. I bought her a red lightbulb to use in her lamp, so she had a light on all night (as she preferred) and I had no blinding-white light, to interfere with my own sleep.

It worked out, beautifully.

So, tell me if you or someone you know, cannot sleep in total darkness.
