To stop the monsters, silly. Same reason the duvet has to be tucked under my feet.
And there was me thinking that my 30 year old daughter was the only female who still insisted on having her double bed against the wall to ensure that she only had to defend herself against 'them' from one direction.
Even now, when she gets up for a wee in the night, she has to put her bedside light on, check under the bed for monsters/rapists/axe murderers, etc. then switch the big light on, switch the landing light on and switch the bathroom light on. On her way back she switches them all off in reverse order, but switches the bedside light off
and then back on again to make sure no one's crept into the room behind her, before switching it off again and hiding under the duvet.
