As someone who lived in fear and could not move because I would have had to give my family my new address, I loved daytime and dreaded the darkest. I lived in a remote area, not a city. Darkness was terrifying because I could not see people coming up to the house. My neighbors were asleep so they could not watch out for me either. I had a hard time sleeping because every little sound woke me up. I was constantly on edge.
The minute daylight came, the fear subsided. I was much calmer...not completely feeling safe but not the paranoia. No one could sneak up on me because not only could I see them but my neighbors could see them. Noises were welcome because they were a warning to look and see what made them. They would not hurt me when they could be seen.
At night time, I was afraid to walk around the inside of my house. During the daytime, I left the slider open for my dogs to go in and out even when I was out of the room.
IMO, from the time we are children nightly time is more frightening....the bogeyman is only in the closet at night.
