Im 21 and afraid to sleep in the dark. i leave cartoons on at low volume and sleep with a shirt slightly over my eyes. how bad is this for my sleep?

No problem: There are many people who need some level of white noise in the background to sleep. Covering your face with a light fabric should not be any problem for the eyes. Just make sure not to cover the nose or mouth to the point where you have any difficulty breathing.
