Does a nightlight impact your sleeping hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: bright lights will,interfere with delta sleep,,that needed for full relaxation in sleep, but a nightlight may be a very good idea to,prevent falls. Generally they are single,digit wattage, aimed at the floor or in the bathroom, and out of your eyes in bed.
