Good morning, Member

I hope your week’s been treating you kindly, dear GrayViners! Last night, I discovered something funny—the toy on my nightstand glows in the dark. I’ve had it for a year and never noticed, because I always sleep with a light on. (Blame a very spooky movie that scarred me years ago!) It made me wonder: Do you keep a nightlight glowing, or do you prefer complete darkness? I’d love to know which side you’re on!
