When I layed down, my ear was laying hard against the pillow, so I could hear my pulse in my ear. To me it seemed that there was a big bear stomping on a murderous rampage and was after me. So than I always put my head under the pillow while pulling it against my head alot harder to feel more comfortable, which only made the pounding sound louder and I got even more scared. I could never sleep and always was afraid, intil I was about 5 or 6.
