I was scared of the dark for as long as I lived with my parents. I never talked to them about it and they never asked, even though they could hear me sprint up the stairs when I had to turn off the light on the lower level. They were emotionally abusive and really I was scared of them, not of the dark. Once I got my own place it got much better, though I still have a bit of paranoia that crops up every now and then.

Many adults are scared of the dark too so you’re not alone with this fear. Perhaps leave the door open a little, have you tried wearing a sleep eye mask? Some gentle sleep music might help you to relax and ask someone to come and check on you after 10 minutes for reassurance x

What my mother did when I was a child was she suddenly switched off all the lights, ran outside the room, and locked me in there. After that my fear of the dark has vanished.

That's okay, it's natural to feel scared when you can't see what's around you. Try a night light but make sure it's dim and ideally a red or amber colour light ; )

Do you have a nightlight? Try a dim red or amber coloured light so you can see about but so that it doesn't keep you awake. Remember, there is nothing to be afraid of when it is dark.Nothing's going to happen. Just close your eyes and relax with some nice deep breaths. When you open your eyes, your nightlight will show you there is nothing to fear ; )

You're not the only one. I know many 10 year olds and older who are scared of the dark. Try using a night light to help you see what's around and feel less scared. Go for one that is dim and a red or amber colour is best : )

red is the worst colour for help because whenever im in the dark and theres a red light, i feel like i'm in hell or taking part in a demonic ritual. I'm 13

@@SCP--ei4zq ah it’s bad for you because of a thought and a meaning you are applying to it. You can work on that and you can choose a different thought and tell yourself a different story. Scientifically, red is going to be best for preventing sleep problems x
