Night Lights have become a staple in contemporary households. Sleep can be an elusive pursuit, and nightlights have become a parents best friend when it comes to fostering a sound sleeping environment for their children. Installing a nightlight has also become a safety measure, as it can light up hallways or staircases so that they can more easily navigate dark spaces at night. But nighttime lighting is more than just utilitarian. In addition to providing illumination, it can also provide a subtle sense of calm for those who need it. Psychologist Dr. John M. Grohol says that, for some, a nightlight can provide psychological safety and can even provide a sense of security. Moreover, night lighting can also act as a room decorator, adding a touch of charm and personality to an otherwise drab room. Childrens night lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from cartoon characters to animals, and can actually foster a sense of play and creativity in children. It can also be used as an object of creative inspiration, where children—or adults—can draw pictures or write stories, inspired by the shadows created by a nightlight. Night lights are no longer a remnant of childhood. They are a necessity for both children and adults, providing practical assistance at night as well as some psychological help to cope with anxiety. From increasing safety to adding some charm to a room, night lights are a helpful and versatile addition to any home.
