My daughter is scared of the dark. When you were a child, did you have trouble falling asleep in your bed? ….

I fell asleep in the dark as a kid, but had terrible panic attacks before I went to sleep because some kid at school said the world was going to end, and my childish brain was so scared for years after this. I was terrified of death, and couldn’t imagine not existing. It terrified me. I grew out of it, but I’ve hardly slept well since I was in my 20s, after the death of my soulmate. I need a nightlight now.
