How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Slept badly, woke with a headache and pain in the right side of my chest. Did the usual took some pain killers, laid on the couch and slept awhile and now feel a lot better.:)
 
Couldn't sleep. Had suicidal thoughts so I lay awake tossing and turning in my bed until about 1 AM. Went on the forum at 2 AM. (Thanks Murmer and Mu for being there for me.) stayed there until 2:30. Decided I couldn't keep myself safe went to my parents room at 3 AM and tossed and turned there until I fell asleep about a half hour later. Woke up at like 9:30. And my shoulder still hurts and was hurting all through the night. So yeah, it's safe to say I didn't sleep well and I feel awful.
 
I can only sleep with medication and I have terrible nightmares. This morning I couldn't seem to wake up so I slept 40 extra minutes and thankfully those we dream-free!
 
The nightmares seem to be easing but the physical pain is worsening. I don't think physio is helping. So, I guess if I wasn't in pain, I would be sleeping better:confused:.
 
Once again, I went to bed at 10:30 tossed and turned until three and then gave up and went to my parents bedroom to keep myself safe, at which point I laid there awake until 4:30 and woke up at 6.
 
I couldn't get comfortable last night and couldn't get in to a deep sleep. I think I need to take the St. John's Wort during the day not at night. I did sleep all morning though!:)
 
What sleep?

I'm with you on that one. Yesterday I revealed to my best friend that I'd only had five hours of sleep since Friday. She was in awe, shocked, and impressed. She was like "Oh my god. HOW DO YOU FUNCTION?"

Not very well. My hypervigilance gets worse when sleep deprived. Still, it was funny that my friend was so surprised and the way she reacted. I'll probably soon be known as "the girl who never sleeps". :coffee: I don't drink coffee or anything either (Only decaf peppermint tea and decaf camomile tea). All my adrenaline is purely based on my hypervigilance.

My sleep last night was okay. Off and on, but it was about 11:30 when I went to sleep, Woke up at 6:30 so 7 hours, and I managed to stay in my own bed. Woke up periodically from the pain in my shoulder and the stewing over the ignorant Cruella De Vil/ Wicked Witch of the West, but it's better than the past five days.
