When i was younger i had,for some reason a very intense fear of the dark. when turning of the light and running into bed fast as i could failed to relieve these fears,i turned to leaving the light on to sleep. this ended very quickly when one night my mother came to my room and said "you know, leaving the light on wont keep away the boogiman, it will only make it to where you can see his face when he comes to eat you." From then untill this very day i sleep in total darkness. because you see. ;-) if i cant see the boogieman, mabey he cant see me either.
