This video is for informational purposes only and should not be used to replace the guidance of a local mental health professional. Anxiety loves to bother kids at bedtime. No matter what age or what type of anxiety a child has, bedtime is universally a struggle for anxious kids. Why is that? It is quiet. It is dark. All activities and distractions are turned off. Minds want to review the day. Ears want to analyze strange sounds. Eyes want to figure out mysterious shadows. Hearts want to be “keep them safe.” When your child is scared to sleep, it impacts the whole family. Anxious kids don’t get a fitful rest. Parents don’t get a fitful rest - and the mood and irritability is set for destruction the next day.
Helping a child who is scared to sleep has much to do with the fears that pop up, as well as the environment they sleep in. Punishing, yelling and cajoling kids to sleep won’t help until you address the anxiety underneath the bedtime struggle.
Luckily for you, I just make a video to help your kids with fears of sleeping. Sometimes talking directly to kids to help motivate and empower them is the little push they need to start fighting their fears. In this week’s Ask the Child Therapist, Kids Edition I talk to kids about how fears of bedtime start and what steps they can take to feel less anxious when going to sleep.

its 5 am and im almost 18 and i havent been able to sleep because of a very stupid horror game. I was feeling really stupid because how dare me, be scared of something. But damn youre so chill i feel better just listening to your voice. Its nice to not be judged. Ive always had problems sleeping, i wish i had this video when i was a child
It's fine to be scared everyone is and hopefully it stops scaring you
Exactly the same
in the same situation as you but in my case it's because of an horror anime that not scary but disturbing, sleep has been a lot better tho, i know it will for you too, i know it already has
What was the horror game?
SAME. i’m 15 and terrified. i just watched a ton of mandela catalogues with my friend and i’m paranoid to go to bed.
How is it that when I'm awake, my thoughts are normal but when I'm going to bed, I think of my worst fears.
Same bro
Yah
Yeah I know how u feel
@samuel I if u have a secret crush I should try to think of him or her that works for me (sometimes 😐😳

Im scared to sleep because I feel like someone is gonna break in my house and kill me while Im sleeping I feel like someone is watching me. OH AND I think so much about scary stuff for some reason like it wont stop
same. i think about being kidnapped and tortured. what i do to eaze it out is take drives along a lake a just some street maybe that can help you.

Same
Famous last words. Condolences.
ive just been watching the walten files ;-;
I’m a grown adult searching how to get over this because I’m to scared to meditate or sleep without the covers over my face. It’s never something to be embarrassed over, every person deals with anxiety, and accommodations are always valid.
I’m scared of someone breaking in my house killing me or kidnapping me
Same

oooh ye
I kinda don't care if they kill me bc I'm having a really bad life so sometimes I wanna kill myself but I won't want to depress my family
Sameee
I came here cuz when I try to get good sleep I feel like I'm falling in a endless void cuz when I sleep I see pitch black. I rarely have dreams which makes me scared. I still sleep but I sleep with my mom. It makes me comfortable and happy when I sleep. When I sleep with my mom I know my mom's there and I'm not too scared. Like if this is same with you. Thanks. This really helped.
It's called closed eyes
Aww same
i am still scared even if i sleep with my mom i feel scared when i close my eyes and see black everywhere
Same but when I sleep I go to my mum when I wake up
Same with me I really hate when my mom leaves the house close to my bedtime so I can't sleep cause I want to know and be aware she's near me
I’m afraid of ghosts, I have been trying to sleep alone for a while now, still can’t sleep, When I close my eyes when I’m alone in night, I shiver and open my eyes, arghh, I want this fear to be gone
there are no ghosts...
same... I am afraid of the dark and I am afraid when I sleep there'll be someone watching me and that'll be super creepy...
Don’t watch/tell horror stuff or movies etc. It will help.
Don’t be scared. Your not alone with this feeling. I also ‘suffer’ from this.
I’m scared rn
getting kidnapped while sleeping is that worst thing that could happen or being shot and dead....
that's the exact reason why I sometimes either don't sleep for like 2 hours or just cry. that might seem childish but it's true
Kind of like mine, I’m also scared to die at night
Yeah that’s my fear
That’s exactly mine

I'm having a really hard time falling asleep right now. I'm in a hotel with my dad (my parents are divorced and i usually live with my mom and feel safer with her) and there are all kinds of sounds. I'm a bit scared of intruders and kind of afraid that there's someone in the room even though i checked it multiple times. I'm really glad that i found this video again though
Scary stories come to life that's my fear 😢
Because you’re mind is being ready for the same thing in that story 😖
Tell your mind that that scary story is fiction fight against it then you think more clearly. Then imagine a place where you can relax that way you will beat the fear. Sadly i realized that too late was unable to sleep the whole night.
For me too. I’m scared of the monsters from stranger things. I’m 11 years old too.
Dont worry nobody is wathing u or hurting u im young but im not scared
Sylvia Salim, thanks 😊 I’m not as scared. I guess I grew out of it.
I am scared to close my eyes when I sleep because I imagine creepy creatures
Same
YES. and the sounds keep me up too
Before you got to sleep think about things that are cool or funny
And it will clear them out
Me too
Whenever I close my eyes I feel like a demon or creature is there watching me. Also when I turn to my side I fell like a demon or creature is behind me watching me.
Edit: Wow everybody I did not except to get this many replies and likes that you all so much! It’s really nice hearing all of your feedback!
That's why I never turn around.
I always feel like there is gonna be a robber or something bad is gonna happen to my mom or be like dying (i have really bad anxiety and my dad died 4 years ago so it is even worse)
Me too
Same help me pls
@NandoYT999 oh dang that's creepy, i think i have a poltergeist, but a friendly one! The poltergeist sometimes opens doors so i wave at the door and then it closes. Or i want to open the door to ho somewhere else and the polter opens my door for me.
I lay in my bed for usually an hour before I can fall asleep because I have so many thoughts about my heart just stopping, having a stroke, getting murdered in my sleep and just random things I could die from. When I was like 10 I cried every night thinking about death but I think I’m overcoming it a little. I just watched a video about disturbing facts so I was really anxious so ig I’m just using this as a journal or something. Good vid though and writing this down made me feel really calm.
I belive most people aren’t scared of the dark. I belive it’s their imagination that creates those images and thoughts.
yes I think so
I’m scared that when I close my eyes someone’s watching me
Me too
I’m scared that someone might come in a kidnap me my family or something will be there when I open my eyes so I always have my cover over my head and a bit off my head sticking out
yep, i alwys cover the sides of my stomache with a pillow because it feels like im about to get stabbed there
This is me.

im scared to sleep cause its the 1st time im sleeping in my own room
Dwayne Cuizon same my mom has stopped sleeping with me
@Imani Ngotho ???
If she is home that's nice if she is not and you accidentally triggered your anxiety like me the result will be: unable to sleep the entire night
me too i have slept with my sister all my life and i have been sleeping on my own
I’m scared to sleep cause I don’t know what happens when I’m asleep I feel like someone is going to come out from under my bed and drug me. It makes me scared because you don’t know what happens in the dark someone might literally just be watching you and you would not know or they might know my schedule so they know when to come and watch me. And this gives me panic attacks
something that helps me, is that ask urself, “if someone was in my house, how would they get in?”
@@isabel-lo7ny my door maybe?
PLSS SAMEEEEE
you know whats weird im just scared in general not that their going to kidnap me or something if your wondering what im scared of look up "eye of the beholder the twilight zone"
@Is it bussing ok at least you wont get nightmares
You just told my whole life in 20 min. 😢 and mom and dad won't understand it. It's litterly a good content so hats off to her. 😊
As a child I dreaded going to bed because it meant I’d be laying in bed for 1-3 hours panicking about my mom dying and how I’d live without her before I could fall asleep.

Thank you so much. When you said to remove stuff that made you uncomfortable and check the spots where you think something might be, it helped a lot
I'm scared that someones going to kill me when I sleep. My house creaks sometimes and it makes that fear worse...... I feel stupid because I'm 12 and I can't sleep by myself.

What is an anxiety attack?
I'm 11 and At night when I'm in my bed I cover my whole body including my head under a blanket and then that makes me feel allot safer, but it gets hot under the blanket and I'm screwed and then to cool down I'm scared that when I let my face out of the blanket, I will see a dark figure right in front of me in my face
Same bro
So true!
I sleep under the blanket because it’s more comfy than having my head over
i do this every night
Same :( I'm always hiding under my blanket too
I feel like something is gonna happen but I just realize that I survived so many nights so what in the world is gonna happen
Bro not Even gonna cap that was happing when I was like 9 or 10 an I was I was scared I was gonna wake up in like a dark room or something an I can’t leave
I’m 12 and i just recently started thinking abt that
I’m not that scared anymore about my anxiety knowing that there’s multiple people dealing with it and there getting through it I’m not saying it’s good I’m just saying I’m relieved that I’m not the only one who has this and they has survived I’m always scared I’m gonna die which I don’t like talking about that topic but it just makes me feel better and I really hope you guys are ok as well ❤
I’m scared that some one is watching me and monsters and ghosts
Me too
Yeeeeeessssss
Scary
For me ghosts
Me to and I don’t like it because it gets hot and my heart is bearing
I'm scared that something is in my room and I have a lot of scary thought
Me too
Same huhu
I have been panicking about ghosts, and stuff. It all started one night I kept hearing shuffling, or footsteps. Everyone was asleep. I thought I heard the tap turn on.
That is what triggered my anxiety. I can't keep going into my sisters room. I have had enough. I have been trying reading ( which usually calms me down, but hasn't worked ), music, counting sheep and even trying to make myself cry, so I won't focus on that. Nothing has worked.
I'll try your suggestions.
Thanks

So just 24 minutes ago i wanted to go downstaires to get something to eat, when i stood on the staires i saw someone standing there but it was my mind playing tricks on me again like usual. This shit really scares me
Thanks for this video. I'm 21 and I have schizophrenia, it's really hard to live in my apartment completely by myself. It's weird, I can even sleep with my window open but for some reason the corner of my doorway just really gets to me. Normal thoughts (mostly) during the day, but just so much anxiety at night ugh. If any kid sees this, and needs reassurance, I got you. Reply to my comment and we can keep each other sane! Lol
I’m 11 and there are so many shows and UA-camrs who other kids my age watch and that involve creepy things and after I see them it sticks in my mind for years and in the day literally nothing scares me but at night everyone scares me. It’s freaky.
@@Simplyrikkisame I’m 12 and I need to stop watching creepy pastas such as the backrooms in the day time but at night I can’t sleep and even when I stop it sticks to me and I still get scared

That's not really uncommon and I'm 12 in 3 days so I guess I'm nearly a teen

I am a kid and I feel the same way
Same
Same
Sammme especially the parents thing you mentioned
I’m upper middle-aged and live alone, as an only child, my parents are both deceased now. But since the age of 16 I’ve been terrorised by the thought of large spiders, they look so creepy, I felt protected when I had my parents, because my dad had no fear and would catch them. Now I have several male friends, who’ve taken an ‘oath’ to protect me against the darn things & I’ll pay them if necessary for their services. Well I’m sure my dad must be laughing his socks off somewhere, he said I shouldn’t be scared of them. All my windows are netted, doors closed, and a bed net tent over my bed in autumn, luckily it’s only for about 8 weeks every year, but it still causes me anxiety, I might get a flame thrower this year.
I am 8 so I was crying happily and I was saying “YES!!😭😍” I love you!
Damn your mom actually lets you play fall out
For everyone having a hard time sleeping, I hope you're okay! Also, if you fear that someone is in your room, think: Why would someone be in MY room, from all the rooms in the world, why would they maybe want to harm ME? How do they get in my room this fast/without noise? Why would they stay in one position SOOO long?
I hope that helps! Also, if you are scared of the dark, I recommend a night light! I have one and yes i'm 12, but I think it's totally fine and I feel safe with some light!
(I'm not a therapist or anything, i'm just trying to help!)
Edit: I'm 13 now but I don't mind if I still see some ''i'm 12 too'''s :)
I feel scared to sleep because I have them things that cover your blinds and there is a bit that doesn't have it on it and I get scared they are looking at me please give me some advice. btw I am only 8 :) 😖😣

I am scared to go to bed because I'm afraid people will break into my house & kill me & my family.I also get thoughts of "what if I have a serious disease that nobody but me knows about?" these thoughts just go on & on through the night till I finally fall asleep. it is not fun. I'm always just hearing sounds & thinking "Wait ,is that somebody coming up the stairs to kill us?"
I love your videos & they help a lot! thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing Anna. I had those exact fears when I was a kid. I’m glad my videos are helping. I’ll do some more on those specific topics in the future for sure!

I have the same so annoying
yesss
anything i watch something scary or even slightly scary i start to get very anxious about those videos and start to panic during bed time usually i’ll turn on the bathroom light and crack the door and listen to rain sounds and it helps most of the time!
I'm almost 22 years old, and I'm suddenly terrified of the dark. This started a couple of years and it's at the point where I can't sleep, I just pull all nighters instead. I can't sleep alone. I need to at least have someone in the house doing other stuff, so that I know someone is keeping me safe... I'm embarrassed to only find kids videos for this problem, but thank you for the help. I have to sustain myself and I just can't afford therapy right now. I needed this quick help until I can afford some personalized help.❤️
İm 11 right now and İ have a fear of it as well, İm TERRİFİED about when encountering sleep paralysis for the first time.
@@sekealoh9679 the thing is, I've had sleep paralysis (ish) and it wasnt that bad. U just gotta realize that it's sleep paralysis and just close ur eyes.
So me but ever since I’ve got my cat he’s been sleeping with me and I feel safer than before 😅
I'm 11 but i am also embarrassed, my cousin is literally younger than me and she sleeps alone and i still sleep with my mother even though i have my own room 💀. I'm just scared that something is in my closet or when i close my eyes, i always think a creature is coming closer to me everytime
@WoolBad I do have to cats back at home and they do wonders to help me sleep haha. Unfortunately I'm out to college so I can't have pets. Thanks for the suggestion of the night light, I'll try it out!
When I was younger I used to watch this show with my sister called ‘The Banana Splits’ we loved that show and we watched it all the time.. I grew older and didn’t watch it that much but I was gonna watch it on UA-cam in 2019 and I searched up The Banana Splits and it came up with a trailer for The Banana Splits movie and I pressed on it to watch it and it was a horror movie... I didn’t know this, I watched it and it was about a little boy who loves the show and he goes to a Banana Splits show on his birthday, the show gets canceled.. The Splits are animatronics in the movie for some reason and they turn evil for some reason and they capture the kids and then kill all the parents in the most horrible way like: massive hammer to head (the head got split open) and also: arms and legs getting ripped off, flamethrower to face, hit by the buggy’s that they drive in and also decapitated and it shows a big pile of dead bodies oh! And also there’s a dog in the show who is the leader called Fleegle and he has a magic show and he puts a magic show on a man and it was one of the ones where they put people in the box and magically cut them.. I think u know where this is going... so yeah, childhood ruined. Edit: I can’t sleep up to now and I recommend not searching it up, u can if u want to know how I feel but I got so scared and my sister is 13 and I get anxiety to sleep and I cry rage and all that and I just can’t sleep so I always ask my sister if I can sleep in her bed and she most of the time says no
I’m scared of not knowing when I will fall asleep when I close my eyes
It May seem strange but because of it I only get about 4 hours of sleep every night
I feel like someone is looking on the window
Then check it and if you feel the same get to that window and say to yourselff

*My anxiety was killing me. Thank you.*
*was almost about to decide to have an all nighter instead of sleeping.*
*I’m so confused why I feel anxious in my room but I can just walk out at like 3am to eat an apple. Why is it I didn’t have this when I was younger? Why when I’m 12? Gosh, it’s probably because I now know more. I feel to old to go to my parents room every night or beg my brother sleep in my room.*
*One of my my most calming things to see or hear in a big family is hearing some open the bathroom door or see the light shine from underneath my door (since my door is facing the bathroom door) it just makes me feel a lot calmer knowing someone’s awake and it’s not just me, same thing when I walk out of y room at like 1am to see my mum still watching tv, it isn’t good for her but it gives me a sense of security. We had two people break into our house a while ago but our dog chased them off before they could steal anything more then some empty wallets so I sleep with my dog now.*

Okay, honestly tho why would someone dislike this? She’s trying to help little kids sleep! Even me, I’m an 8 year old girl trying to sleep and she helped me! Not to mention she took 18 minutes of her time to edit this, to make this. She put so much work into this thinking of some things to help kids like me sleep! So how about we take those 15 dislikes away and make it a like instead!
Me: I just Want to be happy ;-;
My brain: *I SAID WE SCARED TODAY!*
Lol
Same
I've been watching scary stuff on yt latly and so I stay up till ots 1:00 in morning and I think there's scary stuff... PLZ HELP ME GET RID OF THIS FEAR
I’ve never understood why there are some parents who won’t let their kids sleep with a lot of light. They have lights that won’t prevent you from sleeping properly. the Himalayan salt lamps are really good for that cause they put out orange light and no blue light so it’s very good for sleeping
every time i go to bed and i close my eyes i feel like somebody is watching me and i open them fast
Dude same!!!
Same bro
My fear is every single thing in the room because every thing somehow looks like a face of a demon
Same
My mom is always telling me to go to sleep at like three am and I'm just sitting in the corner looking like I saw a ghost.
I'm scared of sleep paralysis and something tall and skinny watching me or some creature smiling facing my window or me
I’m scared someone is in my house and going to k1ll me..
IKR

I'm scared because of my imagination that there are a ghost that is going to atac me and I'm scared because of a nightmare
Same
same cuz everyday I get a nightmare like MILIONS
I MEAN BILLONS
Same I’m always awake when my whole family is asleep and it’s very scary
me too
i’m scared of dying in my sleep. or like a figure in my room. i kind of like scary dreams (only when i’m not like caught by the bad guy). my bed has a drawer underneath so it’s not really the monsters under my bed and my closet is full and the thing i’m scared of is like a figure standing the roof or like around my room.
I'm not scared of dying in my sleep but same i like horror things like horror games and scary stuff that doesn't scare me but what really scares me at night is people breaking in my house.
im not even a kid whos scared to sleep, i just got traumatized after a really realistic nightmare 😭
Me: *thinks maybe i will sleep after watching this!!
Me reads comments...people talking about creatures-
Me: maybe not-

The comment section will protect you
I am so sorry, I hope you and your family are ok.
We used to have an asylum near our house.
We heard gunshots every night.
We moved, but I'm still scared to sleep to this day.
@@kzlyapraklar5567 omg that must have been scary
@@name-md3qe The asylum was like 5 minutes away from the old house.
The gunshots were almost like it was just below the window, it scared me to hell and back.
If not gunshots, we heard screams, shouting, fights and some people resisting to get stabilized.
Certain foods can also help you fall asleep including oatmeal, milk, almonds, cherries, etc. (Sharon’s daughter)
Well I watched a video that was scary and of this creature that sucks out souls so I was always thinking that it would be by my bed and sucking my soul...... Sorry I did not want to say this story but I think I can relate to all of this so I decided to tell my story thanks for listening I fell more calm now thanks 😌🙏😌🙏😌🙏
I'm scared of the dark but I turned my lamp on and then I closed my eyes and tried to go to sleep and then 30 minutes later I kept hearing noises so now I'm watching this.
same!😭😭😭 my father does not allow me tho sleep with him and my mother tho 🙄😫
What kind of noises
I always have trouble getting to sleep at night, and the last few nights I couldn’t get to sleep until after 11:00. It really stinks, and I don’t kneel how to cure my problem.

I don't actually worry about things that happen at night when your asleep, I worry about dreams. Because in a dream, anything can happen 😔
I know how you feel and it is awful :( I hope that you can find a way to overcome it.
@@brokenstyle1681 Thank you, I hope so too , and I hope you can find a solution as well 🙂

Saaame me saying to myself *I'm scared of momo*** 😨
Siren headdddd
I’m scared of getting sleep paralysis
Same, I'm scared of falling asleep bc I will get sleep paralysis
I get sleep paralysis, it is scary, but it is fake, and all you need to do is not panic, you will be okay. I have experienced it many times before, and I have survived. It is all in your head and you will be fine.
Same
Same- I have some tips and precautions just to be safe:
-Put your face in your pillow whilst you sleep. Or face towards the wall if your bed is next to one. This way if you get it you won’t hallucinate of demons because you can’t see the places that they would be.
-Hug something. For example: a cushion, plushie, pillow or anything comfortable tbh. If you get it then when you snap out of it you’ll be hugging something to ease your anxiety or fear.
-Read a feel good book right before you sleep! You have a higher chance of
1)Sleeping through the night.
2)Not hallucinating (Since you’ll have happier thoughts)
3)Being calmer you before you sleep.
Hope this helps anyone who is scared of it!
@Sanaz Ghaed yes good Job, I haven’t gotten sleep paralysis but I hope I will never, they are afraid of you because they know that you belong to God.
This comment section is more scarier than staying alone at night 😁
