Reply to comment by Jiopaba in ELI5 why do your eyes adjust so fast to bright light but so slowly to darkness? by melig1991
I do the same thing for the same reason as you. Only difference is that when I turn off the light I close the bright-adjusted eye and rely solely on the dark-adjusted eye. Keeping them both open after turning the lights off messes with my head and lack of depth perception isn’t a huge trouble for a quick trip to the bathroom.
On the handful of occasions where I am in the dark for longer, I will open both eyes after a minute or so.
