const sampleModule = require('./sampleModule');
sampleModule();

node --experimental-modules sample.mjs

const myModule = require('./myModule.mjs');
                 ^

Fix:

Instead of the require,

const sampleModule = require('./sampleModule');

Make use of,

import sampleModule from './sampleModule.mjs';
