Sleep researchers have found that falling asleep and staying asleep is more difficult if there is light in the room. Ideally, we would all sleep in rooms that are pitch dark, but that’s not always practical since many of us need alarm clocks, which may light up, and there may also be other electrical devices in the room that give off some light. Try to minimize the light in your bedroom as best you can, and by all means don’t try sleeping with the lights on.
