"What's the dark, Mummy?"

Apparently 98% of British children don't sleep in total darkness...

I'm reminded of a remark my younger sister once made, when she was much, much younger, when my parents proposed removing the night light from her bedroom -- "But I need to see to go to sleep!"

If its a cloudy night then if we walk the dogs at night you *need* a torch -- we are miles from streetlights tucked on the edge of a forest. Midnight and full moon is wonderful in Januaty as the air (not just the floor glitters) and I've seen several moon-generated icebows as well!

Indoors I switch off my Hifi (Valves) and aside from the Apple Airport -- the only light is the eerie glow of the UV water filter/steriliser.

Highly rcommend living by the light of the day. Its a very strange situation to be hurrying up the days chores before we lose the light at 3:00pm in midwinter

We live in the loom, so there's not a lot of dark round here. M prefers to sleep in broad daylight and complains bitterly in darkness, even to the extent of not being able to get back to sleep if it's too dark. J prefers to sleep in dark; and it was pretty damn dark in our hotel rooms in the US, the Madison one in particular.
