When I would go to bed, I'd lie down quickly and shut my eyes. I did that because I thought the monsters would only get you i4f you were awake and there would be two tiny ones watching you, waiting to call the bigger ones if they saw you were awake.
I also used to believe that when I heard sounds under my bed, something was under it and was going to grab me through the matress with its long fingers and hands.
