Is it normal that i have to sleep with the covers over my head?

I have to sleep with the covers over my head. Otherwise, I feel too exposed and open to the world around me. Somehow, with even a thin sheet over my head, I feel protected of all murderers and rapists that may feel the need to come into my room. It gets really annoying, especially in the summer because I get too hot.
Also, is there anyway to fix this? No, I can't turn the lights on. Then the murderers and rapists can SEE me. I don't see how a light can be reassuring.

    I'm kind of the same way. I don't sleep with them over my head, but I always have to have at least one sheet over me. It just feels like an extra little bit of security.

    I sleep on my side with the blanket over my head and a little breathing hole formed around my nose. Very comfy and warm.

    Buy a lamp? Then you'll have some light so you'll feel protected thats what I had to do.
