I am the only one?

When I was in MS I had seen the movie Inception and despite having already watched the movie it was based off, Paprika, I started to fear sleeping.

In my case i fear people close to me would die in their sleep so i either keep watch of them (like making sure they are breathing) or I stay awake all night waiting for them to message me to confirm they are still alive.
