QotD: There's a Monster in My Closet
What were you afraid of when you were younger that seems silly to you now?

I've always been a bad sleeper - god bless my parents for putting up with me as a kid who didn't really sleep. Plus, my mom says the dog used to come wake them up whenever I was up, so they probably suffered more than I did.
What used to scare me in my sleep was this loud "ka thunk ka thunk" noise that I thought was a bunch of military shells going off. (We lived right by an Army base, so this wasn't as far-fetched as it sounds.) It took me YEARS to ignore it, and even longer to figure out that the sound was my own heartbeat, which only got louder the more I held my ears.
And I still don't sleep all that well.
