I just have my lamp on...the only "smaller light" would be a flashlight and I'm pretty sure that will make things look worse Grr I'm so stupid :'(

What movie was it?



Play soft music all night long, like Sarah Mclachlan or something like that.

[Toolrockgirl]

hmm watch a happy silly movie when you are ready to go to bed and try falling asleep watching it, leave your lamp on and cuddle up in bed and watch it!

aw

what about those cds that sound like the ocean or rain or something...

maybe that will help u fall asleep and calm down. lol i have no clue

[skaterGuy15]

I watched The Ring :'( But it wasn't the American one, it was the original. It wasn't that scary at the time...but I keep getting flashbacks and it freaks me out



I think rain noises might freak me out even more lol.



And I do play music. Rock music lol. It helps but I can't play it every night forever can I?



thanks though. I will just "think happy thoughts" or something

I hate scary movies!!I am a scardie cat!!



Best way, keep lights on!! Sleep w/ a light on and you should be able to go to sleep...i always kept a flashlight after watching the Sixth Sence...i was 14 years old walking around my house w/ aflashlight becasue i was scared there would be dead people in my room!!



I hate scary movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can find some kind of mental "trick" that can impact your dreams and manipulate them that way before going to sleep. Maybe a funny movie does it for some people, or maybe thinking about friends or all the good things in your life. Food or fantasies of beautiful places, whatever you like. Things like that can set your mind into a different state, and maybe get you through the night better.



I have a trick that works for me (most likely ONLY me:) and that is just before I go to sleep I think of all the things I DON'T want to dream about and then say to myself "you are probably going to dream about <insert nightmare here)



Then for some reason I don't. I got the idea when I liked this girl and had a dream about her. Every night for a long time I would go to bed and say That I hoped I'd probably dream about her again. I never did, I'm thinking it's because I expected to.. For some reason whatever I expect to dream about I don't.



So one night I tried the same trick after a nightmare and the nightmare never came back on nights I did that. So WIERD.



Anyway, I can't imagine this would work for anyone else, but I do believe I'm on to something a psychologist might be able to explain. Hope this wasn't too silly of a confession.

LMAO!!! Hun, the first time I saw The Ring the same thing happened to me too, the only thing that freaked me is that when I was watching it, my phone rings!! For a whole week I was scared out of my friggin mind thinkin she was gonna come kill me!!! Oh, and something dumber, for 5 months after I saw the blair witch project for the first time...I was SOOOO scared, slept with the door open EVERY night!

I'm ok for sleep if I watch scary movies....I just cannot under any circumstances read a scary book before I go to bed...........scary books are what give me the nightmares.............:shivers:

If you face your fear it's a lot easier to get over. Have your dad turn out your light for you and just curl up tight as you can under the covers. No matter how bad it gets or how scared you get, it doesn't change the fact that nothing's going to happen. You've been going to sleep for sixteen or seventeen years without any evil things stealing your soul. Make it through the night just once and it'll get easier. Eventually you'll fall asleep.

the ring. ah. my favorite scary movie. i own it, watch it frequently, and like to make my friends watch it to see their faces.



muahaha. seriously though, my little nieghbour i babysit has those sound machine things, and i can barely stay awake when i rock her to sleep. it has sounds like rain, woods, wind, ocean, stream, etc. its really cool and actually quite soothing.
