I always feel more afraid in the dark than in light conditions. Is this a common phenomenon in all the people? Does it have biological underpinnings?

    This is more a psychology question than a physiology question and is probably better asked at http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/ – KingBoomie Feb 12 '17 at 12:12

  • Our ancestors were hunted by predators active at night. This is our inheritance, it is not something pathological. – inf3rno Nov 30 '18 at 10:00
