How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[KP the nut]

Oh my, what a totally sh*t night.

I am in a lot of pain with my neck and shoulder, then I had cramp in my ankle - ouch. Worst was THE first night mare. I was asleep, it was 3.30am and I was woken by the phone, I heard the answerphone click in and then I heard one of my girls sobbing uncontrolably and sking for help. I leapt out of bed, shouting for my H. I ran down the stairs to the phone and that is when I woke up, standing downstairs starring at the phone. I was so shaken. There were no messages but just to be sured I had to press play, nothing. Still unsure I dialed 1471 (which tells you the last call received and when), no calls since Friday.

It was all I could do not to call the girls and check on them. H had woken up and came and reassured me, the dog was sitting in my lap, it had all been so real. And sleepwalking, I mean WTF.

I did get back to sleep but it was then one nightmare after another, yuck, yuck, yuck.

I phoned both girls this morning, I just had to hear their voices.

I slept great, and had no dreams or nightmares. I count myself very lucky. I count my blessings wherever they are.:)

(((KP)))) I am so sorry you had such a bizarre and stressful night last night. I hope tonight will be better for you. Good for you on checking on your girls anyway. WTG!!! Be gentle on yourself today. Big hugs.

(((KP))) So sorry you had such a hard night. It's awful when the dreams are so realistic.

I'm sorry you had such a difficult night, KP. I hope tonight will be better for you.

Nightmares have been haunting me for days. Usually the same thing.. But only sleeping 3-4 hours tonight.

The other night I slept nearly 15 hours do to certain actions... But now looks like I'm back to the 3-6 hours sleep

Oh my, what a totally sh*t night.

Poor KP. Nothing I can say except (((((hug)))))). Sleep better tonight. Sometimes, I pray to St. Michael the Arc Angel to defend me from the dreams.

Well I did not sleep good last night. I have been up since 3 am. I do not know why I cannot sleep. I feel tired. Mabe I will go back to bed and try again.

So sorry for your stress, Jen. School is a dream-theme of mine. Bleah. I wonder what metaphor your prof is portraying? :O_o: Sometimes if I can identify the metaphor, the dream won't repeat. Not always, but it works sometimes.

It's directed to my trauma- teachers would single me out and say really mean things, or snap at me. I took it to mean that I'm scared that my prof will do the same thing. (I don't like teachers, don't trust them, worried they'll single me out or be mean to me.)

Anyway, I didn't sleep again last night. I went to bed at 12, had a nightmare that my abusive ex-nanny was in my brothers room and stabbing him. Couldn't pull her off of him I tried and I tried to tug her arm- she just turned around, glared at me really really meanly, like "shut up you're next." type of look, and continued stabbing him and he died. :cry: It's a recurring nightmare. Woke up at like 12:30, cried for an hour, and then couldn't get back to sleep. Had to check his room this morning to make sure he was alive.

And then this morning all my mother had to say was "Why are you going on about her?"

 

[Elena Farely]

Ugh. My head is killing me, panadol is not working.
It seems whenever I goto sleep between 9 and 11pm, I will always wake up around 5:30 am and feeling horrible. Like I'm going to vomit, cannot move, headaches or other random things.

 

[KP the nut]

I am having some weird dreams, some are worse than others. Thankfully not repeat of the sleep walking or imagining my girls in danger.

I'm not waking as much which is good.

Last night was my first night sleeping with a stress guard in (to protect my teeth from when I clench and grind). I was surprised how comfortable it was. This morning when I woke, I could see the indentations in the plastic - I'm suprised that after months of my teeth being unprotected, I still have teeth.

Last night I didn't go to bed at all, instead I was awake all night and day. Now tonight, and at this hr. 'Who knows. :giggle:
