I too don't like the dark. For some reason, I associate it with bad or evil things. It could be all those horror movies I watched as a kid, but now as an adult, I don't like PITCH blackness. My bedroom is slight illuminated by what I call "security lights" outside. They are actually too bright, so I have dark curtains over the blinds. I can't sleep in a room that looks like daytime or like the sun is coming up.

Also, I NEVER go out at night as I have no one to be with. Forget driving too! Those bright lights late model cars have BLIND me, and my night vision sucks---unlike a cat which is my avatar, I know. I won't even take the trash out to the dumpster (in the alley) at night! That can wait! But I do know people in this building do it. Even thought it's well-lit back there, I still wouldn't feel safe but I don't feel completely safe anywhere now.

I'm in a city too and I lock up everything like Fort Knox at night, even when it's hot. I don't want windows open when I'm vulnerable and asleep. It's tempting to leave the sliding door open on hot nights but I'm afraid somebody will climb in.

Also I'm not a "night person" at all and now that it gets dark much faster, it's depressing.

I don't know what sleep paralysis is? I could look it up but it's probably too "technical" or too much medical jargon.
