The light is necessary when you are using a microscope because if you don't have the light turned on, then the object or specimen you would like to examine won't be showing up.

When you are sleeping and light shines through the window can a person see the light with their eyes closed?

When you are awake with your eyes closed, you can tell when there is a light on or a light shining nearby. However, if you are unconscious or sleeping, the brain may not detect a light shining. During the REM period of sleep, for example, you would be dreaming and not using your eyes to see your surroundings.
