When I was 7-10 I ALWAYS slept with my glasses on and struggled to fall asleep if they were off or would wake up to every little sound around me. Everyone always said they didn’t know how I could sleep comfortably with them on, My reasoning back then to sleeping with them on was that I was always afraid that if I had to wake up in the middle of the night to a emergency that I didn’t want that to happen with my glasses off. House fire, I need my glasses. Someone breaks in? I need my glasses. My anxiety surrounded around crime and natural disasters ALOT, nothing ever happened that needed me to have glasses on either or made me think that way. I still have anxiety around natural disasters but I can sleep with my glasses off and it hurts to sleep with them on. I dropped the habit slowly by the time I turned 12.
