I've read enough novels to not want to consider those "what ifs", Andy.

[There's a reason he stays away from the horror genre of, well, anything. It's not that he'll jump or cling or anything of the sort. He just has an imagination and the last thing he wants is the stress of paranoia to things that might go bump in the night.]

Sounds like an annoying thing to do every night, to be quite honest. I give you kudos for putting up with it.
