Benefit:
It has been medically established that sleeping at night after extinguishing the light brings much greater comfort and tranquility.
Sleeping while leaving a lamp or similar light burning carries the harm

Sleeping while leaving an electric or gas heater, or a coal brazier burning is also very harmful.
Many reports have been heard and read
that fires break out because of them,
and sometimes people die from suffocation.
