Turning off the lights when leaving a room will help save electricity and save the planet.  it's a really simple habit to get into. 

It's best to play a game with yourself and know that what you are doing is not a sacrifice but a step towards a life that is more aware.  Being aware in your daily life with acts such as turning off the lights will make you more mindful towards others also.

I was amazed when I first moved to the US how people here are not used to turn off their lights...back home in Brazil EVERYONE has that awareness...and here I have many friends who actually leave their house with the lights on all day!!! I lost several friends over discussions about that...

for fears...night lights or so on might help. We have a "aquarium light" that has a moving band of "fish"; very hypnotic, soothing and reassuring for our little ones. Good luck with dissolving the roots of those fears!
