What you should do when you scared of the dark is keep the light on at the corner of the room. You could sleep with the curtains open, not draped, or sleep with someone and/or a toy/stuffed animal you are quite fond of. The best way to get rid of your fear of the dark is to stay close to light and if you are able to, make it dimmer every time you climb into bed. Also, a good tip to get rid of this particular fear is that you should be comfortable. If your brave enough, you can also face your fears and turn the light off completely.
