How old were you when you stopped using a night light?

I stopped at 19 when I got my own computer & there was alittle light from that since I left it on. I didn't really need a nightlight for a long time before I quit using it but it made things a tad easier.

Never used one, I like pitch black, my eyes are very sensitive to light especially light in the dark.

I never used one. When I was a child, I could never sleep unless it was pitch black and totally silent. Once I finally did fall asleep, I could sleep through anything. I was never afraid of the dark, I liked it better. Still do. I feel a lot calmer and more focused at night than I do during the day.
As an adult I can sleep with minor lights and soft noise around me but it took a long time to get used to.

A night light never alleviated much for me, turning up the intensity of light is not going to disperse the seeds or outline of whatever's bothering me, unless there's an actual physical root affecting what I am processing in the room. I just dealt with it or at least confronted it within the same texture and shades. I can think I'm going nuts or think something is lurking in bright daylight or pitch black, by turning a light on or throwing shade around, I have altered the environment in an attempt to flood or flush the negative thoughts, and cannot accurately judge the situation any longer so I prefer keeping things as they are until I'm satisfied I've assessed things properly. It is useful when some dubiously perched plastic bag is causing me hassle and I turn a light on and see the shadow and scrunched up lines were giving me the bad vibes however!
