Why Can’t I Go To Sleep Alone Without A Light On?
what’s wrong with me?
say now like sleepovers and times when im in the same room as someone when going to sleep in the dark im ok.i can sleep in the dark fine then because i know im not alone and im not the only one in the room.
but say now on a school night and i need to get to sleep.I HAVE to leave the small lamp on in my bedroom. because im alone and the only person in that room,i can’t go to sleep in the dark. i just CAN’T!
and when im about to go to bed, i have to check the kitchen to see if the cooker is turned off properly, and the back door and front door are shut properly.
i really need to stop sleeping with the light on in the night. what’s gonna happen if i leave my home when im older and i have to live by myself for a few months? i will be even MORE paranoid. my mum’s recently been noticing the electric bill has been getting higher and we need to cut down. that means..turning off my lamp at night.but i can’t! i don’t know what im paranoid about!
sleeping with the light on is not abnormal, i did it up until i was at least 15 or 16. it probably means your scared of something but you don’t know what when the lights are off, cuz you can’t see anything. wait until you get really really sleepy to go to sleep and then when you finally do, force yourself to turn the light off, since you’ll be so tired that you’ll fall right asleep anyway.
