Light-Sensitive Sleeper
Your answers suggest that light at night or early in the morning may be making it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep. Light is one of the signals that helps set your body's daily rhythm, so timing and darkness can matter.
A Profile describes a pattern in your answers, not a diagnosis.
What this may look like
- Waking up early when it gets light outside
- Streetlights, standby lights or screens in the bedroom
- Using a phone or tablet close to bedtime
- Sleeping better in a very dark room
What may be worth trying
Simple changes first. Try one at a time for about a week and notice whether it helps.
- 1
Make the bedroom darker
Cover small light sources and try blackout curtains or a sleep mask for a week.
- 2
Dim the evening
Lower lights and put screens away a little earlier, then see whether you settle faster.
- 3
Get light in the morning
Time outdoors or near a bright window soon after waking may help your rhythm.
