When I was little and would get up early, I always needed at least 5 minutes of squinting before my eyes were adjusted to the light. I just realized that now (as an adult) I can turn on a light and adjust within 1-2 seconds. Why is this??

Repetition creates tolerance.
All children are sensitive to intense stimuli, especially if unexpected.
Over time and after repeated episodes our neurology learns to anticipate discomforting events and prepare itself. Anticipation means that the intense stimuli startles less, from which less time is required to recover.
