How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I slept great last night and even slept in some. The good news is that my daughter finally slept last night. She feels alot better. I was afraid she would not be able to sleep in the bed in which she got attacked in.
 
Last night I managed 7 hours - broken up into 2 hours, then waking up, then 5 hours. I also got myself to take an hour and 45-minute nap this evening because I was exhausted. Very happy with that! Closer to normal than I've gotten in ages. I just hope I'm able to sleep tonight. I think the improvement is due to sleeping on the pull-out bed in the living room instead of my bedroom. When I moved out, I brought my bed with me, and I realized the bed was triggering me like crazy and making me feel like I was back there. I would lie in bed wide awake until 3 or 4 am, and then sleep fitfully and keep waking up.
 
I slept great again last night. I hope my son in law still has a job so he can get served today with a protective order for my daughter and her girls. Otherwise we do not know where he is and he will not get served, and then we will see how great I sleep tonight.
 
Something like 6.5 hours, broken up into 2 hours and then 4.5 hours, I always sleep better after waking up the first time it seems. Professor gave me good advice - to truly wake up when I do wake up and remind myself of my surroundings (safe in my house), to cuddle with a kitty... it helps! Not feeling as tired today, but still having difficulty facing the idea of schoolwork. I just want to withdraw from college this semester. I really do.
 
Once again I went to bed a bit earlier than I had been. So I read a little and went to sleep at a reasonable hour. I had some good dreams. I had trouble getting up but I got up at 9am so I am gradually getting better. Though I woke up and texted before that.
 
Nightmares that I couldn't pull myself out of and eventually woke up in a derealised panic from. I suppose I slept well in terms of how deep the sleep was, but the nightmare has left me feeling like I haven't slept a wink. I feel exhausted.
