3. DO YOU SNORE, GRIND YOUR TEETH, OR TALK IN YOUR SLEEP?
So they tell me I have been known to snore and talk. Given the state of my dreams and alergies neither is suprising

Depends on the dark and more specifically the where. general dark I have no problem with. creepy locations where my mind can wander and contemplate scary things leads me to being afraid.
