Do vampires sleep in the dark?

Answer 1

Modern day vampires aren't usually seen as "sleeping in the dark", but the myth and conceptions of vampires change over who writes and studies the ledgends. Vampires are often feeding in the dark, and sleeping in their coffins by day. But what most people think is that this fact is based around Bram Stoker's, Dracula. This is wrong. There are elements of the vampire ledgend that Stoker studied carefully to make his story as believable as a biography, but what readers have carelessly abandoned. It is said that Count Dracula has a fear of sunlight, but this, as I said before, is not entirely true. In fact, many times in Dracula the fabled count is seen in the daylight. Many vampire movies/novels suggest that as soon as a vampire steps out into the daylight, they instantly perish. What doesactually happn is that Dracula's powers are heavily restircted, thus causing him the problem of feeding quickly and in cover. With this, it would be that Dracula would have to feed at night, but, it really depends on the story or movie you are reading/seeing at the time. Every vampire I've known slept with a night-light. They are really pretty sissies in some ways.
