sleep consumes me
i have very very bad sleep paranoia so when i sleep i can't because i open my eyes every 10 seconds and look around it mainly stems from when i was younger and watched scary things and ever since then every single night ive been terrified to sleep. i am scared to open my door to go to the bathroom, im scared to go into my kitchen anytime past dark outside, im terrified of the dark, im just scared of everything at night and it consumes my life every day
like it takes so much in me to just be able to close my eyes and fall asleep

I think such fear is passed down to us from our ancestral DNA. Therefore, I doubt that very many people actually managed to avoid some amount of fear of darkness. When my kids were little, they saw the movie "Poltergeist." For a time, they were really fearful. I ended up watching the movie with them several more times, and while doing so, explained the special effects involved in order to make it convincingly scary. Finally, they stopped being scared, sometimes making jokes about it, other times just being bored with it. They also started working on ways to scare each other, but they always ended up laughing about it.
Anyway, fear of darkness is a valid and virtually universal thing. My kids always had a nightlight, and I still have a couple of them around the house. It's not terribly safe to be in a totally dark room, as evidenced by broken toes and stepped on cat tails.
It might be hard to sleep with bright lights on, but I think having enough light to see by is okay. My wife used to want a pitch dark room for sleeping, so I had a habit of having a flashlight next to me, so I could move around the house safely.
