Is it normal to be scared to sleep

I don't get nightmares often but I am terrified of going to bed. I am terrified I will see something scary and go crazy. My sister takes a shower every night and I just wait until she's done. I try and watch cartoons every night so I don't get as scared but it's getting worse.

    I have my huge dog who sleeps with her head lying on my stomach and growls every time she hears a noise, since we've gotten her she hates everyone but me and I'm not scared when it's time to go to bed anymore. Maybe what you need is something to hold at night or maybe even a pet in there with you.

    I heard once that if you die in your dream, you die in real life! Watch out!
