I Find It Hard to Get to Sleep

I Hate Been Alone At Night... I go to bed with the full intention of sleeping but most of the time it does just not happen until in the end I just get out of bed and end up eventually falling to sleep on the settee. I think It's because I get so lonely at night and to tell you the truth I get slightly scared because I'm alone. I am not scared of anyone getting in when I am sleeping or anything like that It's just the scary feeling of been by myself and the loneliness that brings especially at night.
