“To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.”

I don’t have it but I know someone who suffers from #3, fear of falling asleep. This person during sleep sometimes experiences what he calls “sleep paralysis,” in which he is partially awake but cannot move his arms, hands, legs and feet. He comes out of by somehow breaking through the spell and wiggling his toes.

“I don’t have it but I know someone who suffers from #3, fear of falling asleep.”

I don’t sleep much, either, and it’s because I feel like I’m losing time sleeping. That, and I had severe, recurring nightmares as a child and also suffer from PTSD. I usually get 3-4 hours of sleep when I simply can’t keep my eyes open any longer, then I’m good to go for another 15-16 hours.

Oh yeah, and I’m severely claustrophobic (not the elevator kind, but the crowded elevator, crowded bus, crowded airplane kind, MRI kind.)
