The husband complains about the lights on his room and wants to sleep with them. The wife suggests getting dimmer switches for the lights but also suggests trying compromises such as wearing a sleep mask and blackout curtains.

I really wish you would let me turn off the lights in our room without waiting for me to fall asleep.
gpt
But I can't fall asleep with the lights on. It bothers me.
human
I know, but I can't sleep with the lights on either. I feel like I'm in a hospital.
gpt
Well, what can we do? Maybe we need to get some dimmer switches for the lights?
human
That might help, but then there's the problem of you wanting to read in bed. You always need the light on to read.
gpt
True. Maybe we could compromise and you could wear a sleep mask?
human
I've tried that before, but it always falls off during the night. And anyway, I don't want to have to wear a mask every time I want to sleep.
gpt
Hmm, maybe we need to rearrange the room so that the light switch is closer to your side of the bed?
human
That might work. And then you wouldn't have to wait for me to fall asleep before turning off the lights.
gpt
Okay, let's do that. And maybe we can also invest in some blackout curtains to keep the room dark.
human
That's a good idea. I'm willing to try anything at this point to get a better night's sleep.
