“From experienced tourists to hotel receptionists, the advice is the same: leave the bathroom light on when sleeping in a hotel. This simple habit offers multiple benefits and can even save your life in an emergency.”

1. **Emergency Preparedness**
A bathroom light can be a lifesaver in situations like a fire, earthquake, or break-in. “Finding your way out of an unknown place with no lights on and darkness all around will be quite challenging.” Instead of fumbling for your phone or switch, the light helps you exit quickly.

2. **Reduces Anxiety**
Sleeping in an unfamiliar place can feel unsettling. “It delivers just enough light to alleviate anxiety without disrupting your sleep,” making you feel safer and preventing sudden wake-ups.

3. **Better Sleep**
For those who struggle with total darkness, “a nightlight can be excessively bright and uncomfortable.” A dim bathroom light offers the right balance, ensuring restful sleep without disturbance.

4. **Safety & Deterrence**
A lit room suggests someone is awake, potentially discouraging intruders. “Nighttime is when you should be most vigilant, especially if you are alone.”

5. **Prevents Accidents**
Unfamiliar room layouts increase the risk of tripping. “You may trip when getting up for water or more blankets,” making a bathroom light a practical solution.
