Im scared to sleep? (sorta)?

Question

i know it sounds crazy but I have a phobia of flies, and when i go to bed i think i feel something crawling on me i look and there is nothing there. I stay up all night just to make sure no bugs are in my room because im scared if i fall asleep they will creep up. Yesterday the front door and back door blew open and a WHOLE bunch of flies got in. I killed them off with raid and i stayed up all night downstairs to make sure the doors wont blow open, and im mega tried right now but i dont want to sleep

GAH

Answer 1

i get that a lot too. but trust me, you probably feel something on you because you just woke up from a nightmare or sumthing, and you're not fully awake from it yet. i woke up in the middle of the night once and thought there was a mouse in my bed, and i just sat up on my bed for the rest of the night. but now i know it was ALL IN MY HEAD

Answer 2

Go to sleep with a can of raid beside you and a fly swatter under your pillow  I HATE FLIES

Answer 3

Are you alone or do you have some family you live with you can talk to about this?

Because I think that this phobia...like most phobias...is a repressed anxiety of something more frightening for you.

Losing sleep over flies in your house is not a healthy response. I understand they are icky and disgusting, but I think something else if wrong here.

If not, I'd see if I could get some counseling to get this phobia under control before it generalizes into other areas of your life.

Lack of sleep, also, will only to serve to exacerbate this anxiety.
