I thought I was alone! Every night before bed I have to check the right, left and bottom of my bed to make sure nothing will get me. It's quite annoying. I used to do it forty or fifty times a night and couldn't sleep but I talked myself down to just one. Regardless I still have other intrusive thoughts that keep me up. I try to focus my mind on only my breathing, counting my breath one in, two out. I'll try to force any other thoughts out. Sometimes it works!
