we all have fears.. phobias.. phobias often begin in childhood and are irrational and disabling fears that produce a compelling desire to avoid the dreaded object or situation. a phobic person understands that the fear is excessive or groundless. but the effort to resist it only brings more anxiety. there are people who fear spiders (arachnophobia), people who fear books (bibliophobia), people who fear food --lol--(cibophobia), and others. i have ophidiophobia -- fear of snakes. i also have a bit of kakorrhaphiophobia -- fear of failure or defeat. what fear have you?

my fear is that before i sleep suddenly pops-out the question what comes next after my sleep or what will happen to me during my sleep.so i just sleep ,especially if i'm in my room, 2-3 hours only.but i'm comfortable sleeping beside my cousins or my girlfriend because i know someone will look after me while i'm sleeping... what kind of fear is this?
