Source This changes my life. (Both the pirate thing and not)

When you wake up in the middle of the night to do something, cover one eye with your hand and leave it there until you return to darkness. The eye that was covered will have retained its ability to see well in the dark so you will not run into the dresser on your way back to bed. This advantage is the reason pirates wore eye patches, so they could see in the darkness below deck after being in the bright sunlight.
