To be anxious at night at my age?

[sittingonabranch]

I am in my 30's and I hate night time. I am a Mum, a grown up, so what is wrong with me?

If I am awake after everyone else has gone to bed or I wake up in the night I hate it, it seems like such a scary place where everyone else is sleeping. Worries I have in the day, seem horrendous at night, especially health worries. I just feel that if anything happens at night, it is so much harder to get help. It's a lonely place.

Does anyone else feel like this? Anyone a night owl and feel the opposite?

I guess my AIBU is:

YABU - you're a grown up, man up and get on with it
YANBU - yes night time can be scary

I’m absolutely the same, all the anxieties come flooding in at night.

Would be a bit heartless to tell someone with anxiety to man up. You’re not choosing to feel that way. Has anything ever happened at night that made you feel like that?
night times can feel really lonely and eerie if you’re the only one up. I get a bit anxious going to bed but that’s because I have a baby that wakes me loads or I just wake at silly things then get frustrated because I can’t sleep, some nights just feel so long and painful then have to get through the next day.
would a night light or bit of background noise help?
