Turn out the lights

[George K]

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.

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

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.
