Partner / spouse that travels

Does anyone else have a partner or spouse who regularly travels for work? And how do you deal / what kinds of things do you do while they're gone? Whenever my partner travels (like today through the weekend), I kind of go into scared hibernation mode. I always want to socialize, and sometimes make plans to do so, but then wind up cancelling and staying in and playing video games, and I sleep with all of the lights on and all of the doors including my bedroom and outer bathroom door locked. I do not like being by myself at night or giving someone a chance to enter the house by opening the door. So even the mail person is out of luck. And my partner has been traveling for years! I don't know when I will get comfortable with it. I'm used to it now, but I'm still not comfortable. Any helpful tidbits
All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.

I find it a little unnerving sometimes but I'm not afraid to stay alone at night. I hate sleeping upstairs because I think I'll be trapped if something does happen. I'll sleep downstairs in the living room with the TV on for company.
I love to read. If I know I don't have to do anything the next morning I'll just read until I'm too tired to keep my eyes open.
Do you have an alarm system?
Do you have a pet?
We have a security system so there is that, I guess! In the beginning, well for the first several years, I used to sleep on the couch downstairs with the tv on. It's only been in the past year that I have been able to sleep in the bedroom. So at least there is some progress, I suppose?
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.

if you don't have anyone trustworthy available maybe just go somewhere with lots of chill humans like library? cafe?
and just sit there for a while reminding yourself humans have other things to do than break into your house and bonk your head with some item or another
then again this might obviously go all wrong and you might meet Joe Goldberg while at library
but if you dress up in a gorilla suit I think that might help (then again it might also lead into other problems like people calling cops on you instead)
I like to use this tactic when I go on early morning walk and get paranoid I am going to run into creep I just dress up like more of a creep myself so I can assert dominance if i do run into a creep, or share fashion tips before they bonk my head
I feel it helps me mentally
if nothing helps and someone still breaks in to your house while you do not have time to hide then idk man thats kinda awkward
guess you have to host a tea party now while lamenting the fact you didn't know if they have food allergies
