If you are truly terrified, you may feel more comfortable if you ask someone to sleep in your room with you. Call up a friend or ask your sibling or parent if they can sleep in your room or if you can sleep in theirs. Having someone else in your room can make you feel safer and more secure, and will also distract you from your fear. If you have a dog, let it sleep in the same room as long as it is not a distraction. Some people feel more secure with all their doors closed, while others may prefer to have them all open. Decide which will make you feel better and open or close them. Just be sure to lock any exterior doors and windows. If you’re afraid of the dark or worried about scary things entering your space, leaving a light on can help you feel better. Choose a light in the hall or bathroom, or turn on a lamp or nightlight in your bedroom. You could also leave the television on and mute it, so the soft light illuminates your surroundings. If you are nice and cozy, you will have an easier time falling asleep. Put on your most comfortable pajamas, plump up your pillow, and snuggle into your sheets and blankets. Adjust the thermostat, so you are at a comfortable temperature or turn on a fan or heater. If you have a favorite stuffed animal or blanket, bring it to bed with you.
