Is it normal to check just in case!

9 Comments

I'm 18 now but every so often, perhaps once every couple of months I get worried that someone is in my room when I wake up in the night after a nightmare, it leads to a quick light turning on then a room check, finally I settle down realise it's just my mind playing tricks on me and put on a TV show and go back to sleep.

Most of the time I know nothings wrong but I still have to check, just in case. Is that normal?

    In my experience this is caused by a lack of sleep, turn off the tv, possibly put on some music if you have to, then go to sleep without a screen or any type of light.

    I do that every now and then but that's because I have a whole house to check and I sometimes wonder if I either forgot to lock a door or if maybe my toddler unlocked one without me noticing. I used to live on a military base and felt safe--not so much now.

    Okay 220, but really if someone was creepy enough to try all it really take is for someone to sneak up on you. I think it's normal to be scared. This world if full of sickos. I've enen walked around my place with a knife. I recommend getting a dog, like a big one. Dogs are not only an excellent alarm system but they will die trying to save their owner.

    I stopped doing that at age 15 because I'm 21 now and 6'5 220 pounds and if
    anyone is in my room I'll break their fucking jaw before they know what hit them.

    I think everyone does that.

    I do that too, occasionally, especially after a scary movie.
