Surprisingly, I can be like that sometimes. Jumpy and nervous O.o
i had a dream that i could fly,...
i can feel each moment as time goes by...
we'll never be too far away,
you would always be there, i heard you say...

i never thought, thought that,
it would be our last goodbye...
i still can dream, that one day,
love will fall out from the sky.

do you still remember?
all the time that has gone by...
do you still believe that,
love can fall out from the sky?

if, from where you're standing,
you can see the sky above...
i'll be waiting for you,
if you still believe in love.

Oh My Pork. If I have to go to the bathroom at night, I slowly open the door, incase a serial killer isn't on the other side, then I close my eyes and turn on the bathroom light, since my bathroom is right infront of my room. then I look around the bathroom, making sure there aren't any zombies in. Then I lock the door, to make sure that the serial killer doesn't get in. and the process repeats as I exit.

I was until about a year ago. I used to not be able to sleep facing away from my doorway, and would freak out at the slightest noise. I`m not as bad anymore, but I still need to sleep with a light on in a room I can see clearly into from my bedroom. It just comforts me.

Whoa, talk about paranoia. :x

Though circumstances are people would feel that way if they lived in a bad neighbourhood, or they don't feel their house is secure enough. But yeah, that's.. really bad paranoia. XD;

My house is probably the safest place I know, plus my parents are pretty paranoid people and make us check if all the doors are locked before going to bed, so I don't feel the need to think thoughts that someone evil is lurking outside my house. Paranoia like that is probably the cause of insomnia and why people are scared of the dark, which sucks. I have no trouble sleeping, no matter where I am and usually problems I have is what keeps me up at night, but I rarely have problems, so I sleep fine.

Definitely. I'm always the last one to go asleep in my family. On visits to the bathroom at night I carry my dog with me to the bathroom, look everywhere, and then rush to get to the bathroom. I listen to music to stop hearing the noises of the fridge or the cars outside or of the fan. I used to have a nightlight until it stopped working, but now I'm fine in the dark, but I still hate the darkness. I often have horrible visions of myself getting stabbed through the stomach or neck in the middle of the night.

Not until you brought the subject up :P

I used to have terrible sleep problems and I had to sleep right next to my parents bed for a whole month! But then my Doctor prescribed Melatonin which helps me get to sleep so I usually use that if I'm scared or if it's past midnight and I'm on the computer and I have to wake up early the next day !! (current situation*)

But now I am usually fine ^^

I used to be petrified something was going to happen to either my family or myself during the nighttime, when I was a child. I remember having horrible nightmares of murderers or monsters coming in and killing everyone, and I was nothing shy of helpless. ._. Pretty scary dreams for someone so young.

Needless to say, this developed into a fairly large case of insomnia when I grew up a little. I was on medication for it for a few years, but I slowly lost the need to use it. Now, I can sleep just fine with no issues - and no nightmares, to boot! o/

Though, I usually like to have some kind of white-noise in the background. Television, fan, radio, etc. Just something to block out the other, more sporadic noises of the night.

I always feel like that. I also can't watch scary movies. Like, scary movies other people find amusing. D: I get massive and very severe nightmares from them.

I do know that watching Ghost Hunters on Wednesday kind of jump starts me fear scale. XD I'm usually okay though, if I leave the light on and have a movie playing.

I'm also afraid of my window. Like, if I look out my window when my room is dimly lit, I freak out and have to turn on the light. :|

I'm usually not too bothered by anything in the night that would actually prevent me from sleeping, unless say...my mind is cluttered with thoughts and is far too active, an odd horror movie has given me too many weird images in my mind that keeps me from sleeping...basically those two. In the past I used to live in rather unusual areas where various shifty things would be going on through the night, so during that time I had a lot of trouble trying to sleep because I'd be so worried about my family and just...how secure our house might be. But it became something you can be accustomed to after a while. Even now I still don't think that's something you should ever get used to, but you just expect certain things to happen when you live in an area for a while.

Nope. Loud noises may scare me, but I usually jump, laugh at myself for being a wussy, and then go to sleep. Even after scary movies.

That sleep hesitance is more like paranoia . . . As long as you have an alarm in your house, I see no reason to be afraid. Besides, unless you live in the ghetto, you have a slim chance of someone breaking into your house.
