staying home alone at night???

Skye
Just wondering how you ladies manage to stay home alone at night without freaking out?! 
My husband works 12 hr shifts 8 on 6 off and I have so much anxiety staying home alone at night it's always when I lay down to go to sleep that I'm scared most and I just got a puppy to help me through the night but not sure she is going to help until she gets bigger.
