Scared of intruders

So this has been exacerbated by watching Manhunt but it dawned on me last night that I have spent years panicking and scared to go to sleep straight away for fear of someone breaking into the house. I eventually succumb to sleep but the thoughts and subsequent adrenaline keeps me awake often.

I have no idea where this comes from. Every creak, noise I attribute to some nefarious nutcase.

I'm mid 30's and feel utterly ridiculous for stressing about every rattle of a window or creak on the stairs.

Am I the only one? AIBU?

I can't do a vote as it's on an app...
