Can a 6mth old be afraid of the dark?

Just wondered what opinions are as we have tried leaving her bedroom light on very dimly as she had stopped sleeping through the night. For the next few nights. I got concerned that it would become a habit and so turned it off. FOr the last 2 mornings she ahas woken at 5am and cried. This morning, however, i turned the light back on dimly again and she settled herself back to sleep. Any ideas??

I think they can be afraid. Maybe she needs to see familiar surroundings to feel safe and secure?
