I can kind of get this but I’m also the kind of guy who put 6 lights in our bedroom ceiling and then gets annoy when anything but a nightstand light is on.
The other factor is window position. One of my basement windows is directly inline with my neighbors kitchen door. The mom seems to be always taking garbage out while I’m working out. 2 teen/pre teen girls. Trying not to be the shirtless sweaty guy they can’t not see during breakfast. This is honestly a significant portion of my desire for less light.
