That is me too!
It’s really hard for me to close my eyes and relax or meditate unless I know that I’m completely by myself. I sit up so late at night because I can’t really relax until I know that everybody in the house is asleep.
ETA: I totally relate to the reference by Carmina about yoga. At the end of the class when you are supposed to close your eyes and relax just stresses me.
