I sleep with the light on. My ceiling light and lamp are on all day in my office. I have 3 flashlights.
Yep. I am afraid of the dark.

I turn on a light when I need it but turn it off as soon as I am done with whatever. I never bother to turn on the light just to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I can easily negotiate my entire home without even opening my eyes.
I frequently enjoy going outdoors at night just to star watch and that often includes walks to different areas to get better views depending on trees in the way. I do carry a flashlight in case I encounter some critter. Even bears will jump and run with a bright light in their eyes.
Generally speaking, there is nothing there in the dark that is not there in bright light anyway. Nyctophobia is likely a result of some incident lingering in the subconscious memory. Maybe you could take a trip to a nutcracker to discuss it and get over it. At the very least you might be able to lower your electric bill by turning off those extra lights when not needed.

I like the room to be dark for sleeping. I sleep with an eye mask on so that the morning sun doesn't wake me up too early.
