Clinophobia is the fear of going to bed. People get this fear because they associate going to bed with dying. Examples of this include: "If I should die before I wake...", and being buried alive.
While adults with clinophobia realize that these fears are irrational, they often find that facing, or even thinking about facing, the feared situation brings on a panic attack or severe anxiety.
They have had their clinophobia so long that they don't know who they would be without it.
So people who really want to talk about their clinophobia because they are not really ready to let them go may not achieve optimal results.
