How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Sethe]

Anyone ever wake up to have the anxiety immediately kick in? It's sort of like, 'Ding. It's Anxiety Time!'

Yeah I get that all the time, I find if i get up do something for 5 minutes, it goes. Then I try and get back to sleep. I wake with it andd have no idea why I am anxious and freaked out. If i lie in bed it doesnt go.

I actually slept well last night, the anxiety that started building a couple nights ago has gone... I'm going to think twice before taking 50mg vistaril before going to bed, live and learn I guess.

Generallay, when I need my anti-anxiety med it's early evening or by late night, so I will take that these nights and it permits for sleep. Generally, I've been waking up refreshed from a solid nights sleep, but not so last night and the other night. I've been having nightmares. Apparently, was shouting out in my sleep last night, ...Why won't they let me out. They said they would let me out today. .....I was on a hijacked train and apparently I had ended up on it through initially mistaken identity and then set-up to die while on it.

Also, my sadness and a fear of what I recently was told in relationship to my daughter's friend's self-harming behavior came into play-out in an arm razor-cutting nightmare also taking place upon that hijacked train.

Two nights of recent nightmares, but other then those, I'm sleeping nights with 1/2 mg. ativan, and far less often but when absolutely necessary Tramadol for severe base-of-skull and related pain. And, then other nights I just refuse to take any med. and sometimes I get lucky and sleep, while other nights I'm awake until ridicously late/early morning.

What are you doing in my nightmares :roflmao::speechless::eek::rolleyes:. This definitely sounds like one of mine.

I hope your normal sleep returns soon

Had a bit of a scare, after the initial freak out, bit my tongue and didn't fuss about it all day or evening... but then relived it in my sleep. Upset stomach, depressed and weepy when I woke this morning. But I'm a bit better now already. Sheesh... this from the girl who loves haunted houses and amusement park rides??? Apparently an averted car accident is a bit too real. :oops:

Snap, I'm the same with near misses, I think it is the hyper vigilance. My T would tell you, your mind is processing the veents of the day - great. He says it is good

Slept great last night, I slept for so long though not waking up until about 2pm.

Took a down turn yesterday around noon... slept for 12 hours in the afternoon and through the night. Waking when disturbed by stomach pain or my cats... I just have to admit I don't feel well.

 

[Gamereign555]

Yeah, seriously I keep going through periods of insomnia followed by whatever you call too much sleep.

I actually think my sleep is improving getting off is major issue and wake quite bit but seem be getting back off ok. This morning I felt could sleep for a week.

Per dr recommendation I tried going off my fibro pain medication yesterday. That led to a terrible night of "sleep." It is hard enough to sleep when you are having crazy dreams, but even more so when you are in pain physically.
