Sounds like you're experiencing an acute stress response. Have you suffered trauma in the past? Do you have PTSD by chance? I only ask because I tend to check in my large closet every single night before I go to bed to make sure there isn't a man hiding in there. This is called being hyper vigilant, and it can be a symptom of PTSD if you have it. Sometimes I even check under my bed (not for monsters, but for an intruder) even though logically I know no one is there. I have complex PTSD.
