So for most of my life I've never been afraid of the dark. But slowly I don't exactly remember how i developed a fear of the darkness. Just randomly and it's especially bad when I try to sleep. I can sleep well if someone else is in the room or if I have a nightlight on. Now here comes the issue after a few years of facing this i slowly got calmer and more used to it but now it's flaring again I'm now sometimes not even comfortable sleeping with the night light. Anyone else facing this..or can help solve it anymore tips are welcome.
