Since I was a kid I’ve had troubles getting to sleep (once I’m asleep I’m fine and don’t wake up). As I’m trying to sleep at night when I have my eyes closed I get this overwhelming feeling somethings going to attack me and I have to open my eyes, I’m 24 now and still get it. I also get imagery of scary faces or something like my brains trying to scare me and I’ve tried to fight against it and keep my eyes shut but it generally feels like I’m being held at gunpoint. I also have to sleep with a light on cause pitch darkness makes me very uncomfortable.

Any advice at all is appreciated :)
