Dear Sir
Has this started recently that you feel uncomfortable when alone at night, if so there is a need to evaluate and understand this better. It can occur due to a recent stressful event or can be a symptom of mental health problem like depression, anxiety or psychosis.
Please see a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation to understand what is causing these symptoms. Treatment depends on the outcome of assessment. Please Talk to your friends and family about how you are feeling..you can ask someone to be with you at night to feel comfortable.
See a psychiatrist for further help
Thanks
Regards
Dr Ankita Mishra

Hi
Being alone especially in the night is some what a bit difficult for some set of people, it all depends on the way they were brought up & things they discuss with friends & watching horror films over television.
Next Steps
try to be with company may be parents or siblings, switch on light, do some activity like reading books or watching TV till you fall asleep, drink water.
