Do glow in the dark wall stickers disrupt sleep?

I've been trying to get my toddler to sleep in her room at night and someone suggested glow in the dark wall stickers instead o night lights. I always felt that a dark room helps the body sleep better and longer, are glow in the dark wall stickers safe especially for toddlers?

1. These stickers glow, they don't shine, so they do not light up the room at all. Your child might be distracted from sleeping for a few nights though a she will be looking at them.
2. The photoluminescent type (the common kind that absorbs light and then re-emits it) are safe for toddlers. They don't actually glow for very long--just a few minutes typically and then start to fade out, which may be all that a toddler needs to fall asleep.
