Question: I'm exhausted, and want to go to sleep, but I'm too afraid of the dark!?
I'm 13 and I think I have a serious problem, this is affecting my sleeping patterns!. I have a huge phobia of the dark, and even when I turn the lights on, I get scared to close my eyes because I can't see anything!.
I once had a panic attack because I turned my light off once, and it went pitch black!. My body just kind of froze, my heart stopped then started beating really fast!. It was the scariest thing, and I was so shocked I couldn't move, therefore I couldn't move my arm to turn the light on for a few moments!.
Yesterday I was an idiot and watched The Grudge!. Now I'm friggin' scared that the little boy and his mom are gonna get me!. =( No more scary movies for me, but still!. Even without scary movies I'm terrified of the dark!. I'm so tired and just want to sleep!. Even as I write this I'm scared!. Help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was exactly the same as you and I had years of terror, I could never sleep I was always so scared!. But out of the blue, I just got over it (I don't know how), and now I don't mind it at all!
You have to relax before sleeping, read something light in bed and eventually you will get so tired that you will fall asleep!
You can also have a warm bath before sleeping or some milk to help you relax and feel tired!.
