Sleeping in the dark is good for your health, helping you sleep better. However, if you stay at a hotel or guesthouse, especially when traveling alone, remember to turn on the light in the bathroom and leave it on until morning. That is the valuable experience of experienced people.
Turning on the light at night in the bathroom brings you many unexpected benefits:
Easy escape in case of emergency
The light from the bathroom will be a lifesaver when unexpected incidents occur, such as burglary or fire alarms. The light will help you find an escape route more easily. The dark and unfamiliar space in a hotel can make you lose your way, making it difficult to find an exit. Moreover, if you are in a panic and it takes you a long time to find the light switch, you may miss the opportunity to escape from danger. So if there is light, it will help you handle the situation more quickly.
More convenient bathroom trips
We often need to get up at night. In unfamiliar places, having light will help you move around and navigate better. Without light, there may be collisions, causing pain or serious injuries. Especially if you’re not in the habit of being tidy, a little light from the bathroom will help you avoid bumping into your own mess.
Helps you sleep better and feel more secure
In unfamiliar places and when you’re afraid of ghosts, being alone, the bathroom light will help you feel more secure. The light helps you not be afraid of ghosts anymore. A strange place makes the darkness even scarier. So turning on the bathroom light in this situation may not only make it easier for you to sleep, but also help you fall asleep more easily.
Helps keep the air in the room fresh
In many leisure hotels, they have a ventilation fan and a shared switch for the bathroom light. When you turn on the light, the ventilation fan also works, creating better air circulation in the bathroom, helping your room become less stuffy and avoiding the feeling of suffocation caused by being constantly closed off. This helps keep your room fresher.
Keeps you safer and reduces intrusions from outside
If someone has bad intentions, when they see the light coming from your room, they will think you’re awake, so they will be more cautious, and you will be safer. Moreover, if you are unfortunately attacked, you will find it easier to find a way to escape.
In addition to keeping the light on in the bathroom, you should also be cautious with your door lock, and it is best to place something heavy that can make a sound at the door, so that if there is an intrusion, you can quickly call for help. Furthermore, when staying in an unfamiliar place, thoroughly check the corners and nooks around the room before checking in, avoiding hidden dangerous objects in the room and keeping the windows closed. Always remember the emergency number of the hotel, especially when traveling alone. In the bedroom, if you feel scared, you can play some soft music that won’t affect the surroundings but will be enough to soothe you and “scare away” those with bad intentions who want to break in.
