Today, I was talking to my boss about her children. She told me she didn’t want them to develop any problems by letting them sleep with the light on. I didn’t tell her last night I slept with the light on because I’m scared of ghosts. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my daughter was acting strange. When she wasn’t muttering in some strange language, she was talking about invisible people coming to get me. Terrified, I called my boyfriend. Turns out he taught her that as a prank. He knows I’m afraid of anything supernatural. FML
Today, my daughter’s sleepwalking has been so bad that none of us has slept more than a few hours a night in weeks. We took her to a pediatrician, who referred her to a sleep clinic for children that has no openings for 6 months. My boyfriend is convinced my house is haunted, scaring the other kids. FML
Today, my boss told me she had a nightmare where her life depended on me, and I let her die. Now I'm ridiculously paranoid that I'm going to get fired at any second. FML
Today, my mother thought it would be funny to sneak into my room at night and scream like a demon, after I'd explained to her how scared I was of The Exorcist movie I had just seen. She claims it wasn't her. FML
Today, after my girlfriend had a nightmare this morning, I stayed home because she has really bad anxiety issues. A couple of hours later, she's pissed because I said I would stay up, but I fell asleep. FML
Today, I couldn’t sleep because the hall light was too bright. Someone left their room; I waited for them to return so we wouldn’t cross paths. I got up and went for the light, only to find them peeing naked with the door open. In a panic I flipped any switch, which made the hall brighter, then ran. FML
Today, I was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML
Today, my little sister asked what the noises were last night. It happened to be my dad and his girlfriend fooling around. I ended up telling her it was ghosts. Now I'm grounded by my dad who yelled at me for scaring her. I was trying to save his ass from a lot of questions. FML
Today, my coworker said that she suddenly got the shivers. I jokingly told her that it meant she must be being watched by a dead person and made stupid ghost noises. She then told me it was the anniversary of her dad's death and burst into tears. FML
Today, in the early hours of the morning, I woke up in sleep paralysis, hallucinating the sight of children hanging from the ceiling. Now I'm scared to sleep. FML

I sleep with the light on because it makes it easier to be on my laptop up until I'm just about to fall alseep and to get back on it when I wake up. My bed is kind of high off the ground and I'd just as soon not deal with flipping the switch all the time. I also slept with it on specifically the night I saw The Uborn but that was just cuz that movie was freaky! :P But how exactly is this an FML? It really isn't a very good one if it is one at all. I'm sure a lot of people could submit stories just like this. This person's life isn't f*ed because they sleep with the light on. :P

You're an adult and you're scared of ghosts? That's pretty damn pathetic. YDI for sure. 68 = BS. You are not partially psychic. You are either lying (quite likely over the internet), mentally ill, or just dumb.

Sleeping with the lights on doesnt help! All the ghosts ive ever seen i saw with the lights on! like the old lady in the night gown. no lie lol

Plenty of hauntings occur in broad daylight or with the lights turned on. All you are doing is pointlessly wasting electricity and you should be ashamed of yourself for that.

What kind of problems can be developed by letting your kids sleep with the lights on? I see a bigger problem that could be caused by forcing them to turn the lights off: your kids being mad and scared of YOU, and thinking YOU don't want to protect them from the boogeyman or whatever it is they're scared will come after them in the night. I slept with the lights on for much of my childhood. I had a really overactive imagination. Now, I'm a well-adjusted, married, good job-having 23 year old who sleeps with the lights off...
