The only way I sleep if it's PITCH DARK. When I turn off the lights I run really fast back in my bed!!!!! I love sleeping when the air conditor or heater is on because It makes soft noises!!!

My fan is on high so it hums softly.

 

You can also get yourself a sound machine... Listen to the Ocean or a Brook... My clock has one but i never notice it that it's the ocean anymore... it's soft background noise to help me relax. Also maybe read a book before bed or listen to a radio to get more mind occupied on your favorite songs.

Aww, I was scared of the dark, too.. I still am a little bit!

I was always afraid of the dark, when I thought that there was a murderer in my window, or this guy with a gun and knife, (I want this to make you feel BETTER! xD) and even... I thought the Mofia leader was watching me through the windows of my bedroom. BUT.. I got over those fears! (90.99%, I should say lol ) Here's how:

.Always have something with you, it was my first step, so that I knew that there was something there with me ;') I wasn't alone

.Don't think of it as a scary, dark place where lots of terrible things could happen; think happily.. "Oh yes! I'm skipping in the dark! Dark.. is good! bibidi bobidi boo!"

.Maybe you and your parent could create a system, where a chart is created, and if you stay in the dark for lets say ten minutes alone, you earn a star. Once you reach a certain amount of stars you could receive something special, then you move on to another system

.Put some nice music on, it helps calm you down, and not be so parenoid about anyting bad happening; infact, I used to listen to meditating music, it helps you discover "inner calm" :')

.A good way to help you sleep calmer and better is to count your exhales, I got that from something called the "John Tesh radio show" off my radio

I hope that helps a little. Good luck overcoming your fear! Remember: no one's afraid of nothing

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat.Usually they sleep on the bed with me next to me or bye the end of my bed.I usually fall asleep with the t.v. on cuz I cant without it and then my mom comes in and turns it off.The door in my room is always on and I look straight out the door and my parents bedroom door is open so I see my mom watching t.v. or something and I feel calm.
