Clinophobia - Fear of SLEEP
Clinophobia (also known as Somniphobia) is a condition for people who fear sleeping. Whether you have fearsome monsters in your dreams or you wet your bed, this can be a serious condition if you have it. You can get some professional help if you have clinophobia here. (below is an excerpt from their website)
Defined as “a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of sleep”, each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, most somniphobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear. We believe that not only is this totally unnecessary, it will often make the condition worse. And it is particularly cruel as somniphobia can be eliminated with the right methods and just 24 hours of commitment by the phobic individual.
