Don't know about kids but I do remember reading something about women who slept with lights on had more health problems.  Light cues our brain that it's time to wake up and so women who sleep with the light on get less restful sleep and thus more health problems.

night lights can really mess up a toddler's sleep patterns.  If I remember
correctly, it said light affects adults too, but to a far less degree.
Anyone else remember that in the news a while back?

I have nightlights enough, even in the bedroom, but, that one is dim. I
automatically start looking for the dog as soon as I am awake. Not often
that I step where she is unless I have other things on my mind and walk
into
the room.

Hi Ken,

  Put one of those touch lamps in the hall, or wire for a nightlight, if
it's not already. I have night lights in the diningroom, the kitchen, and
will be getting one in the hallway. Those frosted bulbs give a nice
lighting
if you're half asleep and don't want the shock of a bright light.

Cheers!

Carla
