It could be Nyctophobia (fear of dark or night). This definitely needs attention. Discuss the fear. Listen carefully to your child, without playing into their fears, to see if you can identify a trigger. And once you found the reason you might know what to do. If she suddenly developed this fear then it's the right time to concentrate on this.

Hi... This can be a general fear of darkness, many people don't feel comfortable in dark. And there is a possibility of some underlying condition. Please consult a Psychologist for better insights, advice, and treatment. One thing I find strange, the ages mentioned on your query. How can a 31 year old woman has a 20 year old daughter. I suppose there is some mistake.

Next Steps
