Lo's night light keeps her room fairly well lit . . . she can easily see the whole room if she is awake. Is yours darker/brighter? How bright is too bright? She seems to sleep just fine, but I wonder if it may contribute to not being able to go back to sleep if she wakes too early?

We don't have one. Well there is a little blue glow light on top of her sound machine but that is all. It is pretty dark in there. Maybe I should get her one.
-
We have a dimmer in her room and if it's all the way down she can still see the whole room pretty well. But we don't leave it on. She sleeps much better in total dark.

We don't have a night light. We gave our oldest one when he became potty trained at night so he could get up and go when needed.
-
We don't use one. We turn the twilight turtle on at bedtime but that shuts off on it's own. I have found if we leave her nightlight on accidentally, she doesn't sleep as late in the AM.

We don't use one, and i find that it's easier for LO to fall back asleep when the room is dark. Have you thought about muting the brightness by placing it behind furniture or in a different part of the room?
@Smurfette: It's not necessary to have a night light, and they say that you probably don't need to consider it until they're 2+ when they experience nighttime anxiety. I once tried to use a night light and it was a disaster.

We use a Salt Lamp in the kids rooms - its suppose to clean the air and it provides just a light glow - its perfect!
-
We have a dinosaur night light that turns off after 15 mins and after that its dark. He doesn't wake at night and never seemed to mind not having one!

I think I need to change what I use for a night light . . . she woke up this morning at 3:40 and didn't go back to sleep until 4:30. I think that if her nursery had been darker, that it might have been easier for her to fall back asleep . . . I have just been afraid of her waking up scared and alone in the dark!
She has a lamp that has 2 small bulbs in it that can be turned on independently . . . so I have been turning on one side of the lamp and putting it on the floor beside her tall dresser (on the side of the dresser that is furthest from her crib) to keep it down as much as possible. But I really think it's too much light. *gah*
I have 2 of these, and 1 is already set up in her nursery . . . so I guess I will give it a trial run tonight.

We used to leave on a blue night light (blue bulb from Lowes/Walmart) but it would light up the whole room. I think when he woke, it would keep him awake so I stopped turning it on. He sleeps fine with his FP seahorse and twilight turtle that shut off after a while.

@MsLipGloss: Sorry Momma, early morning for you! I hope the new light helps!
-
@Smurfette: Thanks . . . she did go back to bed until 6:20. Of course I just should have stayed up from 4:30 on . . . when I woke up again (I stayed awake the whole time she was awake/fussing and then when back to sleep after she did) I felt suuuuuuuuper tired, way more tired than I was at 3:40. So I am dragging today, AF arrived today, 4 days early, and no amount of diet coke seems to help!

@MsLipGloss: that's about the brightness of the night light in Ts room (except I turn it on blue for some reason). It's also one of those portable thingamajigs. Good luck!

We have the Ikea ghost nightlight thing and have it on the lowest setting we can click it on... the dark blue/purple one.
