When I sleep in the dark my body begins to act weird. I don't know much about it now but my body thinks there is something in my room. Sometimes I look at "nothing" and I turn my light on. I'm not scared of the dark but I don't prefer it. It's like sleepwalking I think Does anyone know what this is?

So do you keep bright lights on, or just a small light? I've never heard of anyone wanting to sleep in a room that was all lit up brightly. Like how much light do you need? Lots of people like a small night light. It sounds like an anxiety issue.

Sometimes I sleep with the light on. It all depends on my mood. I'm not sure what you mean by your body feeling weird?

Some times i sleep with my light on. I kept getting the feeling that something was there wtching me sleep. I havent felt this for a while but the other night when i went to bed i felt like something was lying beside me. It felt like it was close to my face i could even feel the heat of it. i jumped out of bed panicking and put the light on. i do think its anxiety im not sure but what it is.

That sounds scary It might be anxiety because I'm worried whether there are any "ghosts" in my room.

Yes i dnt no what it is its like i can the energy of it. like when u sit close to someone but not touching them you can feel that ders summit der. i wouldnt tell a doctor because im not skitsophrenic and i be afraid they would say that i am. some times i think theres summit by the window or feel summit sittin on the end of my bed. when i was a child i was afraid of the dark so maybe i still have anxiety over that

Night light or the hallway light on to cast some light into the room
I cant have the light on due to my bf can't sleep with it one- once in a while he turns it on.
Sometimes i feel like there are others in rooms; I usually cant sleep and have to get up.. ghosts- i use to think aliens when i was a little younger for real... I sometimes have that thought cross my mind still.

Maybe it is stress or anxiety ??

Oh and just because you may have a "trait" of schizophrenia does not mean you are schizophrenic...I would hope a dr would know that the mind can be a wonderful trickster I would still talk to your therapist if it is really bothersome

It might be anxiety. I can hear little voices but it's in my head when I sleep. It's normal apparently.
