    Time to grow up, dearie. There ain't no boogie men gonna get you.
    On the other hand, it's very nice of you to leave the light on to facilitate a burglar or rapist's entry into your bedroom.

    I sleep with my computer monitor left on. I get anxious if I try to sleep without it. If I do, then suddenly my closet across the room looks menacing and every little noise makes me jump. It's not that I'm afraid of the dark - I'm afraid of what's IN the dark.

    It's fine to do it if it makes you feel better, but be aware that having a light on while you sleep inhibits melatonin production in your brain and results in less restful sleep. If you always feel tired, this might be why.

    If you feel too anxious to turn off the light at night, maybe you could consider wearing a sleeping mask. It seems kind of silly and redundant but it could help you sleep better.

    You know I used to do this up to the age of 19. I'm not really sure why. When I was younger I would often get anxious when I'd turn off the light at night. i've never been superstitious so it wasn't anything like that I just got a little uneasy. I just got used to it then one day, i asked myself why I was doing it and turned it off. Been sleeping in the dark fine since. Maby the same thing will happen to you, you might just suddenly not need to.

    Yes this is normal, there are many people out there who are the same. Do what makes you feel comfortable :)

      Can't you read? Try reading the post again, stupid.
      Perhaps you should change your screen name to can't see words?
