Can't Sleep And When I Do The Nightmares Come Back

[Astrid_Shadow]

I have to sleep with something funny on. I usually watch the simpsons before bed. I can't sleep in the dark

I've taken to watching Perry Mason on my tablet in bed. Something interesting enough to follow but not enough to be exciting. Still having nightmares and waking in panic very early in the morning, but again able to get back to sleep, albeit woke up an hour before alarm and didn't fall asleep again.

I love all the suggestions! I usually have Native American flute music or rain , I put it on my tv so it's bright.. I was nightmare free for almost two weeks and last night I had one... I had nightmares every night for months now I've noticed that I'm only having nightmares when I talk about it , I think it's my brain processing... because I still think about it all the time but the nights after going out with family related to the incident or therapy , I'll dream about it. Hang in there, two steps forward one step back sometimes , but at least we made it one step.
