Is it uncommon to be scared of dark as an adult?

I sleep at home with lights on

I don't think it's weird at all. Isn't it an evolutionary trait that causes us to have heightened levels of anxiety and perception of danger in the absence of light? Fear of the dark is ingrained into our Biology.

On top of that, I'd usually keep some lights on in the house firstly to ward off burglars and secondly to have vision should there be a home invasion. Although I think darkness would be better in the second scenario since you'd know the layout of the house.

Having nyctophobia is not something that only children experience... if I threw a person into a forest without a light source or a fire, they'd start panicking really quick.

This sums it up.

Its not the dark I am scared of. It's what you can't see in the dark that I am kinda scared off.

[douride2]

Of not off.

[Iron_Man]

Yes unless you’re worried about home invasions or paranoid against ghost

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Vivaldi not in the slightest 💡😁

[mysteriousNicholas]

It's a very rational response 😊 fear 😱
