How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I had a horrendous nightmare. I even ended up saying to my partner I was annoyed he wasn't there when I woke up because it was so awful :eek::confused:. I apologised when I became a rational person, because what a ridiculous thing to say, and I was honest and told him I really needed a cuddle because I felt awful.

I hate the feeling after nightmares. I don't want to sleep now.
 
One thing I hate. Is when I must have had one hell of a dream that I can't remember and the only way I can tell is that when I wake up I'm in one mood or another. Like today. I slept pretty good I think. And I'm NOT a morning person to begin with. But this morning every little thing everyone is saying to me is annoying me to the point that I feel like if one more person says one more thing to me I'm going to snap at them.

I don't feel angry but I have that "leave me one or I'm going to isolate from you" kind of feeling. It's kind of annoying because I don't know why I feel like this. And people in the house keep walking into my room to talk to me. And I keep feeling myself getting tense and wanting to say "you know I'm not a morning person that's why I stay in my room alone for a little while after I wake up so WHY do you keep coming in here?". But I know that's a bit much so I just keep clenching my jaw and nodding at people until they decide to stop talking and walk away. I hate feeling like this. Especially since I don't know where it's coming from.
 
I experienced an awful lot of stress(ors) yesterday which led to feelings of very difficult grief, deep sadness, fear, physical pain from knots / much tension and depressive feelings. Also, during real rough times, like last night and this morning when I first woke, I find myself thinking and occasionally now having blurted out in fear and overwhelm, some very foolish depressive-SI wishes which I really would not wish for outside of very strong feelings of fear, helplessness, fatigue and physical pain and confusion.
 
A few hours. No nightmares though, so I'm tired but relieved. I've been struggling with them and the horrible memories before sleep recently. I want to work on my sleep issues. I'm finding it an incredibly hard pattern to break (insomnia, to not wanting to sleep, to over sleeping). I'm not sure how I could control the nightmares, but there must be ways I can tackle the other issues.

I hope others managed to get a good night of rest as it's important.
 
I slept like a log - on my back - almost exactly eight hours last night. I didn't wake up once, and when I did wake up in the moring the sheets/blankets were hardly disrupted. I had a dream with Tom Cruz in it - it was the third dream with him in it in the last two weeks. I really, really don't care for Tom Cruz. But I've been acting like I really, really like him in these dreams. :wtf: Weird!
 
7.5 hours last night and no :inlove: Tom Cruz visits, thankfully. I didn't take any pain meds for my sciatica. It is better and I had to stop because it made me "stupid" the next day. Today, I'm thinking clearly and can carry on a conversation beyond, "Huh? Well, um, I dunno. Can I get back to you on that?"
