Does it matter to a baby(@ 3 months) if the room is dark or bright when they sleep?

Question

would they sleep better in dark rooms VS bright rooms?

my bedroom is my office AND nursery..and the lights are usually on.

do u believe that effects his sleep?

Answer 1

it should be dark because i read that even a dim light such as a night light on while a child is sleeping can cause many vision problems later in life.

Answer 2

I learned in one of my Early Childhood Education classes on infants that too much light on in a room when a baby is trying to sleep causes them to get a lesser quality of sleep and that may cause them to be more irretable through out the day. My 4 children always slept with just a nightlight and they seemed to sleep better than on nights when I had the lights on doing school work.  

Answer 3

I think at night it'd be best to keep the room as dark as possible with the exception of a nightlight or dim light. It seems to me the baby would get a better night's sleep that way, just as you would.  

Answer 4

it will deifnalty help baby to get into a schedule and learn that dark means night time which means sleep. during the day though i guess its ok to have lights on becuase it will keep the baby from sleeping all day and again eventually getting into a pattern of dark=sleep and light=awake

Answer 5

it's  easier to teach a baby when its nighttime vs daytime when they sleep in the dark. Dark = sleep Light= play :)
