Dark room or let the sun in

[We Never Know]

In the morning as soon as it gets light we open the curtains and let the light in. I've been to several people's house's that keep their curtains/shades closed all day. To me that is a depressive environment.

Do you let the light in or keep it closed out?

The blinds are open from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed.

I try to let all the light in. But, I live in a shady neighborhood in a house that was set up to take advantage of the shade; getting enough light in just to see to get stuff done without turning on the lights can be problematic. We had a glass door put in the dining room, and that helped some(its a 4 square style house).

I'm a cave dweller. I like my dark bubble.

 

[Revoltingest]

Light in.

I let the light in but close them on an evening so I can put lamps and fairy lights on, to create a nice reading atmosphere.

I also live on a main road and every single vehicle with sirens goes down it because the 3 major emergency departments are basically on the same street.

I let the light in, but I make sure to keep the fly screen on because flies used to find their way into my room and make me question my life choices.

Fly choices also matter!

Well, they just need to learn to be less clingy and more content with their own company...

You can't beat stygian gloom.

I keep mine closed because I don't want to advertise to everyone who walks past my window that I have a 75" tv, a Playstation 5, a nice computer and all the other various things that someone of a lesser moral standing might want to have for themselves. Plus, the only view I have is of the parking lot behind my apartment building. When I want to see nature, I just go outdoors

Like you Britons have a choice.

I always open the shades, sometimes I shout "Let there be light" as I do it, then I realize my neighbors overheard me because my window was open.

Thanks. I'll now put down my binocula... I mean... good idea not to open the windows!

It's unfortunate that these are things you have to worry about. I'm grateful to have old people neighbors.

Im autistic and nearsighted. Due to this im very sensitive to light. My eyes can hurt at times in bright environments. So I keep it dark

I too. But my wife likes to keep them closed. She is a bit paranoid about privacy ( and paranoid overall... hopefully she won't read this)

Not a problem for me. There's nothing worth taking in my place.

Your wardrobe?

Your wardrobe?

If they want to take my old t-shirts, jeans, and hoodies, they probably need them more than I do.
