While watching Love Island, you may have wondered why so many people wear sunglasses in bed in the morning. If you’re baffled about this fashion choice, here’s everything you need to know about why they do this.
Love Island UK Season 9 kicked off on January 16 and the villa is already full of tons of drama and romance that’s keeping fans glued to their screens each night.
Viewers can watch clips of the contestants from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep, and if you’ve paid attention to the morning segments, you may have noticed that many of them wear sunglasses in bed.
Plenty of fans have been baffled by this seemingly bizarre fashion choice, but there’s a good reason that they wear them.
Why do Love Islanders wear sunglasses in bed?
The reason that contestants choose to wear sunglasses in bed when they first wake up, is that the lights in their shared bedroom are so bright.
2021 contestant Aaron Francis was asked by a fan on TikTok how they wake up straight away when the lights are on, and he responded: “Yo, I don’t think you guys understand how bright those lights are. Like, they are blindingly bright. That’s why everyone’s wearing sunglasses in the morning.”
“I used to watch previous series and be like, ‘Why are they wearing sunglasses in bed?’ Now I know why, it’s bright, and yeah, wakes you up immediately I promise.”
