Evidently I had a nightmare that I don't remember because I woke up with a scratch on my leg. I guess I scratched myself in my sleep. I also had a disturbing dream that scared me and startled me awake. My nightmares have been bad this week. I've had nightmares 4 nights out of the last 6 nights. And I've been staying up until 4am the last 4 nights to try to avoid having nightmares or to be so exhausted that I sleep so deep that I can't remember them in the morning if I do have them. And I've still had them and remembered them. It's making me really just not want to sleep.
Checking in again. Been getting more sleep as of late (thankfully). Not so bad with the heart racing and jolting awake, but I still get one or two nightmares/bad dreams a night that make me wake up for a bit.
I have these intense dreams with lots of emotion in them.The problem is when I wake from and realize it was all a dream I almost become enraged .. Sometimes I wish they were nightmares instead, is this common?
My sufferer hasn't slept in 4 wks. He's lucky if he gets 2-3 hrs a night. He told me his mind is racing and he can't fall asleep, it's not that he's waking up. Any suggestions???
