My brother (15) has an intense fear of the dark. He’s a year older than me but he’s terrified of being alone at night so he always wants me to stay with him until he falls asleep. What should I do to help him get over his fear of the dark? I’m not only doing it to help him but to give me some rest, too—it always takes him an hour to get to sleep, and by that time it’s usually 11:00 and I’m exhausted. It’s wearing us both out. What can I do to help him get over this irrational fear of the dark?
