    Mark Walker, in his book, talks about the disruptive effect of light when you're supposed to be sleeping. Mrs. George likes a bit of light in the bedroom at night. I've taken to wearing a sleep mask.

    I can't prove that it helps me sleep, but it feels that way.

    Good enough for me.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Once you go sleep mask, you don't go back.

      Education is extremely important.

        It's a drug.

          Do you do any white noise? I’ve taken to playing tracks of thunderstorms at night. It works great, but the problem is I wind up sleeping through real rain showers when they occur.

            Nah. I actually have taken to wearing earplugs. I started using them on train trips (horn, etc).

            Is that a bad thing?

              Our bedroom has skylights. My wife loves it for the light in the mornings. I love it for the sound rain makes when it hits. I love dozing in there with the sound of rain. The recording is nice, but it’s like the difference between a live orchestra or a digital recording.

                @George-K I agree. I really like a dark room for sleeping.
