During my childhood, what kept me safe at night was the presence of my family. The sounds of my parents’ voices, the warmth of my blankets, and the familiarity of my room all created a cocoon of comfort. I also had a nightlight that kept the shadows at bay, and sometimes I would listen to the soothing sounds of a lullaby or a bedtime story. The knowledge that my loved ones were just a room away made me feel secure and allowed me to drift off to sleep without fear. How about you? What brought you that sense of safety at night?
