Keep some light in your bedroom. Your parents are/were wrong. Early man lived for hundreds of generations in dangerous environments with not much more than his fire to protect against enemies or predators. If the camp fire got completely out, wild animals could attack. So it was important to let some of the fire shine toward the sleeping place. Otherwise our ancestors could not get to sleep or woke up too early. It was beneficial to wake up before the animals attacked if the camp fire got out during the night - to restart the fire. That could take some time, so if you wake up during the night because of no or little light in your bedroom, you should not try to sleep again right away. Put on some warm clothes, and get some more light/heat in your bedroom (or get this outside the bedroom) and you soon are ready to sleep again.
Curtains should not cover the window in your bedroom completely, or at least not be too dark if they cover the whole window. Then your sleep (dreams) is regulated accordingly to the nights and the mornings. You will feel more rested.
If you live in a country with little sunshine at least part of the year: Two hours or less before bedtime take a vitamin D tablet (most effective: vitamin D3) or two. (But don't call me in the morning!).
