It's not so much the darkness itself that scares me, but what could happen /in/ the dark without my knowing.  I sleep with the TV on, because that way I feel like there are other people in the room to protect me from the bullets coming through my window, the burglars breaking into my room, and the backmasking demons haunting my thoughts and reversing them.  D=  Really, some of those backmasking messages are terrifying, even if they are intentional.
