I have a hard time at night. I've said before in another thread, but I woke up every night for five years around the time of my attack and could not get back to sleep for a few hours. It was horrible. I used to have these elaborate rituals before I could lay down to try to relax. I still get freaked at night, but just try to use the tv or something else to distract my mind. I don't much care for being outside in the dark either. Having dogs helps because I know they will alert me if someone is trying to get in.
