Do you sleep on your own??

If I have a nightmare/dream, it tends to be my way of dealing with my fears. So if my hubby is working late, or overnight, I have a routine to go through about an hour before bed time, to make sure that I am happy that everything is turned off, locked etc. I can't sleep with the door open, no way, but once I know the boys are ok, I settle down.

I don't think you are mad at all honey, but try a warm milky drink, get a routine going so you know everything is safe and go to bed when you are tired, not wide awake. You need to train yourself to go to sleep and not panic, if that makes sense.

im scared of the dark to always have to make sure the tv or something is on when im on my own always keep my door locked aswell

And don't forget what i said last night, about making your bottles up with water and having the milk powder separate - that way you can take them upstairs with you, no need to heat them up and you don't have to go downstairs either :)
