try not to turn the lights on in your room.
i have the same situation(growroom+bedroom)and i dont turn the lights on and sometimes use a small torch instead of the main light.
you can cover your grow box some more if you want but i wouldent worry too much about it and it wont screw things up unless you are continually causing light leaks.

hope that helps.

from what i have heard, if you don't have an uninterrupted dark period they may not induce flowering, or they may go into flowering, then revert bak to the vegitative stage. light during the dark cycle has also been known to cause stress to the plants, which can turns females into hermies =(

Yeah, I've seen people here claim even something as small as a LED power indicator across a room disrupts it, thats bullshit, but light is definitely not wanted during the dark 12. Complete dark will bring out the best yield possible.

Theres not a hall light you could maybe use to put enough light in your room to see but not hit the plants.

The plant measures the un-interuppted darkness which makes it release a flowering hormone. As long as it isnt a regular thing you'll be fine. If it is regular, i'd keep a watch out for hermies and suchforth.

You'd do better to just use a green light bulb if you really want to illuminate your grow room at night. Green Light isn't usable to plants.
