We hate the dark and still need to have the light in the kitchen on in the next room in order to go to sleep.

I sometimes get disoriented in the dark, and.. I always feel like I need to be ready to react in case of danger, so I have to be able to see the door in case I need to jump up, or if I wake up from a dream and need to get oriented.

I have nightmares that it's dark in the house and I'm trying to turn the lights on. I can't find any light in the house that will go on. I always leave several lights on in the house both during the day and all night.

When my wife was alive she had to have every light in the house on at all times.

i leave the computer on and the night light in the kitchen,,it creates a glow by the hallway..than i sleep with the door cracked about 3 in...it creates enough view for me to see a shadow in case i need to react. or incase i hear something i look for shadow like movements. i cant sleep whent its pitch black..i have to have some form of light bouncing around so i can detect movement..

oh also i cant no where at sunset because if i walk in a store and its sunny, and if i switch while i, there, than leave the place and as soon as i walk outside its dark..i cant do that, i try not too. its a bad experience for me and not sure why. i feel like i get forced to enter a different world of some sort..

Oh my gosh, miz. I totally get that. It's like something out of Lord of the Rings where they guy puts the ring on and everything looks the same but completely ominous and different. I do NOT like the night.

Ya, I use a night light. And if I have to get up in the middle of the light I turn on every single light on the way to the bathroom.

deleted_user 05/20/2014

yeah i agree with the Lord of the Rings...heeehee..but its serious..
also i too have to turn every light on the way there and back..and in my room i turn it on and off as quickly as possible..for like a fraction of a second just for me to double check that my room doesn't have a stranger

i have a night light, though I don't usually keep it on but i have this feeling that someone is standing at the edge of my bed ready to hurt me in some way, wondering if any one of u felt that someone has been walking in your home in your absence and when u come bak home, u feel an extra presence

Reed31 05/21/2014

Yea seemad I hate that to.

LoveAlice 05/21/2014
