Poll How Do You Sleep

[Deleted member 12723]

OOPS:confused: I hit the wrong button:eek: Glenda P I have anxiety in the mornings. I get it every day. I hate it. It is my routine. I do not know what causes it. I wish I could wake up without it. It has been going on for a very long time. Hope this explains and answers your query.

With the hall lights on! Its just too creepy for me to sleep with it completely off

I slept very good. no bad dreams and no nightmares. I am so lucky. I appreciate getting good sleep every night.

One of the biggest helps I've done is getting a big dog. I sleep better knowing she would go crazy if any threat came to my house.

I slept good last night. I dreamed I was swimming in warm water. It felt so good. What a trip.:laugh:

I rarely sleep very well at all and only ever remember waking up "refreshed" a few times in my life. I usually wake up at least as tired as when I went to bed! That part has been very difficult for me, both emotionally and obviously physically. I do not like taking meds for sleeping, but I really have to every couple of nights, just to maintain some sort of sanity.

For me, I don't really care too much about doors being open or closed, windows being open or closed. I do prefer darkness, but I really am not too picky. I can not sleep in any given environment! If I take a couple of Ambien, then I have a better chance of actually getting a few hours' rest, but still wake up early and groggy, so not much help so far in the sleep department. Hard to shut the ol' brain off after bedtime!

I sleep with the hall way light on and all the doors locked. I recently had to get a dog so I would feel more safe. When I was younger my mom tried to kill me 20 times and she knows where I live at so I cant even go to sleep with out 4 or 5 sleeping pills. I mean I almost have to pass out before I can go to bed.

I have not been sleeping good lately. I keep waking up. I am tired from it. I hope my sleeping patterns stabalize. I have been having dreams that I cannot remember either.

My brain fights sleep. I take xanax but will not turn of the lights and lay down until I am seeing double. This is an improvement since last year I did not sleep until the sun came up

I slept alittle better last night. But I had a weird dream. It kind of haunts me. It was a good dream. But it had themes of things I miss. I am grieving some major losses and I think it is showing up in my dreams.

Sounds familiar jennylol! Hopefully it gets better soon for you. I don't know much about you, but I have had many a sleepless night! I am sorry to hear about how your mother treated you! You have heard it here before I am sure, but you are SO not to blame and you deserve much better from life! Big hugs to you, and I wish you a peaceful rest tonight!

I generally sleep with all doors closed and locked. Sleep varies even with the use of multiple sleep meds. Any noise at all can have me up and doing a sweep through the entire house. has anybody else had this kind of reaction to noises?
