“Sundown scaries. It’s apparently pretty common, but I would get SUCH a sense of dread as the evening approached and the sun started to go down. It faded after a few weeks, but woo boy, was it tough.”
“As a parent of a now 4 and 2-year-old, I didn’t know this was a thing. I thought it was just me, and I never expressed it before. I just told my husband about your post and told him how much I dreaded the nighttime, how it filled me with anxiety, and he had no idea.”
“Me, too! I dreaded falling asleep, like I was going to die if I did.”
