My roommate wakes up at least 3 times a week to do her homework at 4 AM! She never fails to wake me up by turning the fucking light on. I HATE IT because i absolutley CANNOT fall asleep with a light on. It HAS to be pitch black. We have...

If the lights are right in front of my eyes (as in 1cm) I can't sleep.
Other than that, I can sleep in ANY condition.

This is true of me, because the light really bothers my eyes when I'm trying to sleep. I can put on my sleeping mask, but it doesn't block all of the light, and even when someone has the TV on, and I'm trying to sleep, the glare of the...

I don't know what it is, but when I go to sleep I need for it to be dark. If I am unable to turn out the lights I even have a sleep mask to put me in the dark!

My name is Yuu (pronounced "you") and I suffer from Insomnia.
No, I don't really have insomnia---but that's what I "jokingly" call what I'm experiencing.

I hate sleeping with the lights and TV on!, yet that does not stop my roommate from leaving the lights on until 4 am while watching TV! GAH!

I prefer total darkness, absolute silence and comfort as i'm a very light sleeper, i never dose off even when i'm really tired if there are lights on.

I can't sleep with the lights, TV, radio on.  The room needs to be dark, no noise.  If I notice a little sunshine, I'll wake up.  My body reflex are sensitive to these things.

I can't sleep with the lights or tv on.  Because my roommate is still up by the time I'm ready for bed, I usually only request to turn one or the other off, and sometimes both.  She always says it's okay to do so, but she won...

I'm much more relaxed in the dark.  Having the light on makes me end up looking and something or being distracted by a task left undone, until I'm driven insane and have to get up and finish it. 
It's the best way for my...

Well for the longest part of my life, I HAD to have some kind of light on ... even the faintest one. I was too scared to sleep in the dark, lol. But now - and for awhile now - I have to have like pitch blackness...

Sleeping with the lights on is one of my biggest pet peeves out of all of the pet peeves I have. I can take a nap in the afternoon with sunlight beaming through the window but can't sleep with lights on at night. Weird, I know but the...

I use to have a night light and that was okay, but now I have to have it pretty much pitch black in my room so that I can sleep, if any lights are on, or if theres any sound, I just cannot sleep. That's how I am.

When lights are turned on and I'm sleeping i just bury my face into something.
When i was young and would have sleep overs i hated keeping lights on. I was never afraid of the dark...i preferred it. I would leave my friends in a room...

I can't sleep with any light at all...not even a slither. Darkness is especially difficult for me to maintain in my bedroom. I hardly sleep now that there's a multi level car park, mall and supermarket being constructed behind my unit...

I use to be able to go to sleep no matter what was going on.  But I guess now that I'm older, I have to have all the lights off and very little sound.  I just sleep better that way, I suppose.
I can still take a nap under any...
