yes too much darks is scary, I like at least a little light it is better and more comfortable and secure, also if it is very dark and we wakeup we need that light to know the way to walk for example to bring water from kitchen .

Answer 6

No, but I am wary of what could be using darkness as a cover for stalking prey. Way too many critters can see in the dark, or at least see way better than me. I like the night, and sleep in darkness...but always have my shinken within reach, and machetes hidden in convenient places in every room.

Answer 7

It depends on the situation if I need to sleep I want my room dark so I can fall asleep right away. If I had a bad scary dream or saw/watched something like that's the time that I will be afraid of the dark. If I visited a wake and saw the person in the coffin for sure I will be afraid of the dark especially if I am alone sleeping in my room or have a similar dream like that I will surely be afraid when I woke up in the middle of the night. When this happens I make sure that I sleep with my lights on or I turned on the television the whole night. At least I can still see some light in my surroundings.
