Dark and light reach an equilibrium. As you shut the door, you trap dark. 
However, if the room has a window, some dark leaks out being displaced by 
light. A crack at the bottom also leaks out dark to be displaced by light. 

If you sleep with a blindfold, you find that it's hard to trap dark in a small 
spot near your eyes. Dark will leak out and reach equilibrium with light 
allowed to leak in once dark leaks out.
