I used to believe that there were various monsters that came out at night - and each monster was only after one particular body part. The "ear monster" for example would only eat ears. To this day I cover my ears when I sleep. I also decided that the monsters could only see like an inch in front of themselves so that if I stayed very still and under the covers they would never spot me. It all worked. I still have all of my parts.
