When I was younger, I was scared of there being a demon under my bed who would suck me underneath it. So I would make sure that my feet were never dangling off my bed, otherwise the monster would grab me by the ankles and I would never see the light of day again.
I was also scared of monsters coming in the old fashioned way through my bedroom door. So I did a couple of things
1) Made sure my dog slept with me. figured if I had a guard dog, if something came for me, she would bite the monster and wake everyone up with her barking. i heard when I was younger that dogs have great hearing, so if something came for me, she would hear it and wake me up in time for me to hide.
2) I slept not facing the door. For some reason, I figured that if I did not see it coming, it wouldn't hurt as much. So if a monster got me, I would just wake up in hell (this is where I thought monsters lived) and not be traumatized by the actual violent struggle.
