I can't Sleep At Night..?!
Question: Ok, I'm 20, and live with my parents. I have a dog, and i feel safe at night. But when i go to lay down..i get this feeling like i can't close my eyes because i feel like someone to going to break into my house. I have to sleep with my closet light on, and my bathroom light..and i still can't sleep at night..Any Ideas on how to actually go to sleep?

You're going through some type of anxiety or panic, possibly for some other reason that's not being addressed. My sister went through something similar. What helped her was getting on an antianxiety medication. This may be an option for you. I'm sure you're miserable not being able to sleep.
Look into some natural sleep aids at a health food store or pharmacy - melatonin, valarian root, or other products. Also meditation tapes and you can put on when you go to bed. Yoga is also a good relaxant.
Please try to get some help for yourself.
