I also used to sleep with a light on, always with my closet (very dark creepy place) door closed. If I'm walking home from my friend's house (two doors down the street) I still run because I imagine someone running at me from across the street. I'm just now getting over it. I think a lot of people go through the afraid of the dark thing. You just have to remember that nothing is really there. When I get really scared, I just repeat aloud, "It's not real." It does help.
