As per wikipedia - Achluophobia - The fear of the dark is a common fear among children and to a varying degree is observed for adults. The pathological fear of the dark is sometimes called nyctophobia (from Greek νυξ, "night" and φοβια, phobia), scotophobia, from σκότος - "darkness", or lygophobia, from λυγή - "twilight" and achluophobia. Fear of the dark, however, is different from nyctophobia in the sense that fear of the dark is natural whereas nyctophobia is a pathological phobia.

The fear of the dark is heightened by imagination: a stuffed toy may appear a monster with many teeth and bulging eyes in the dark. Nightmares contribute to the fear of the dark as well: after waking up because of a nightmare the child may refuse to go to bed without lights on. Fear of dark is a phase of child development.[1] Most observers report that fear of the dark seldom appears before the age of 2 years.[2] Fear of the dark is not fear of the absence of light, but fear of possible or imagined dangers concealed by the darkness.
