I didn't know why I have to keep my little flashlight on before going to sleep; just keeping it on for a few minutes till I felt so sleepy.
Maybe it's because am afraid of the sudden darkness, or it could be due to some imaginations I had. A cousin just passed away and I thought he might be there standing in one corner of the room.
Do you also fear the dark at times?

Ha ha, mine is placing clothes or pillow or anything above my eyes so I can sleep.

Actually it should be in my eyes, anything above my eyes.

@cacay1 yes, maybe just an imagination or others who can really sense such unknown things (spirits).

I do like having a light on. Although not too bright. When my husband is home, I can easily sleep with no lights on at all. I usually fall asleep before he does, and will leave the lights on and he turns them off. However, on the nights when he's at work (he works night shifts), I prefer leaving a light on.

I do that also when am alone; but when husband is here, he does not want it; he could not sleep with lights on.

It should be; but sometimes I could not stop thinking of so many imaginative things. But afterwards, I can be so brave again.

@acelawrites If I hear a noise, I always move around the house without even turning on the lights.

You are brave enough. Later on, I can also sleep even when it's dark.

I like some faint light at night; or just outside our room.

Maybe because many of us are so superstitious.

You should have screen on your windows so bats could not enter. They're really scary.

It happens; it's common in our culture to be so afraid of such unknown things.
