Hesitant to Sleep?

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.​
 
I can never get to sleep, worried or not.

ya, i wish T_T it broke a year ago...

and, well, that kind of place is across the bridge right across the street...

so, you all dont have to try to comfort me, i got my reasons to be scared, this is about you remeber? x3
 
I had someone try to break in when i was sleeping back in the US states..
I was not in panik but still scared after that i slept with a knife lol
 
Sometimes, when I remember nightmares from last night.
 
I always jump at every little noise. And it's bad because I have problems getting to sleep, I could just lay in bed for hours and not have any luck drifting off to sleep. Now I always leave the tv on at night 'cause it is better when everything isn't dead quiet then you hear the door creak or something. I even formed a habit of looking at the four corners of my ceiling when in bed, make sure there's nothing up there. And I've had a fear of someone coming in and killing my family after watching a 48 Hours where a kid woke up and everyone in his house was shot and killed and he had to walk miles through the woods to get to the police station. :( *sigh* I always leave the light on at night, so I could see my whole room. It's terrible how I'm so jumpy... :(
 
I read this thread, turned around, turned on the lights, and then shut the blinds.

Not that this thread was the cause for me to do so as I normally would do that all anyway this late at night, where I hear things and assume the worst. Back when I was going through depression, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with some fancy word that meant something along the lines of being scared that someone was... something. omg, I can't remember, its been so long ago. But I have paranoia all the time. And I mean all the time. Not just at night. One of my worst fears is someone being in the house with me who isn't wanted -- and omg, I was planning on going downstairs to get a drink and now I just want to... stay put. o_o

But seriously, especially if I watch one of those shows like Snapped and other true crime stories on television, it really gets me feeling very paranoid of my surroundings and realize that anything can happen at any given point in time and its just... not a comfortable feeling for me.

But the rush of adrenaline is awesome, omg. :>
 
My bed is too comfortable that I cannot hear any distractions.

But outside... No way!

I'm exactly like this. I'm actually scared to go to sleep. I have to curl up into a ball in the top corner of my bed.
I'm a nervous, twitchy, paranoid idiot. My heart beats so fast when I know I have to go to sleep, I panic. I hate being helpless, and when I'm asleep that's what I am.

It's horrible. I'm very jumpy, if there is a small creak or bang I jump really violently, then can't sleep for the rest of the night. I hate it.

EDIT: I also hallucinate at night, so when I think someone is there, I see them, even if they aren't, if that makes sense.
 
I used to get afraid to the point where I would actually barricade myself in my room at night, I'm not even sure what I was afraid of. I also sort of had hallucinations, I didn't think that people where there, but the room and walls seemed to get a lot larger whilst the doorway seemed a lot smaller; does that count as a hallucination? idk... xD
This happened up until I was about 13-14.

Now I'm usually too exhausted to even think about anything like that when I go to bed. I never get afraid at all, even when Kenji kindly provided me with some frightening stories before I went to sleep. xD
No more visions of room distortions either.
 
Yeah, when I was younger I used to hate going to sleep, because most of the time I'd lie there unable to stop thinking of scary things....

But when I finally realized that most of the things I was scared of thinking about weren't really that bad, now I sleep like a baby. :sleeping:
 
I don't think I've been afraid to go to sleep since I was um...8? Maybe younger. The worst I get now is random thoughts of "lol, if were actually important I would be really easy to assassinate" which make me laugh.
 
Only if I watch something like Doctor Who... I don't watch horror films because they scare me too much and I get paranoid that the fictional serial killers/ monsters are gonna come in my room and kill me. =X
 
I looove sleeping, there could be trained assassins positioned outside every door and every window and I'd still be out like a light.

The only exception is after a scary movie. Not slasher horror or anything, but real paranormal stuff. I love those movies though, and the fear never lasts long. (:
 
Yes actually. I always make sure to lock both doors, shut the blinds, and make sure the oven is off before I go to sleep.
