How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Sandstone]

@goingonhope I feel for you. Does it help to tell yourself that you won't try to sleep, you will simply lay down and rest? It rarely tricks me into sleep, but at least I'm able to take the pressure off myself if I accept sleep is impossible but I'm doing the next best thing for myself.

WHat a shitty night. What a shitty night

my wife said I woke her a few nights ago, last night I woke a client while at work in another room I know I did as I woke myself screaming. I am dreaming most nights I normally cant sleep for an hour or so afterwards sometimes longer.
I am tired and I am over them
themes are normally stabbings guns and or being imobolized and having loved ones attacked and unable to help.

@Sandstone That works best when I lay down and rest in front of a movie, or movies and after having taken 3 to 6mg of Melatonin. Than simply laying down, accepting no sleep and resting suffices and more likely results in sleep. I don't know that I could get into bed after the long, hard days that I have and accept that while the rest of the family gets to sleep peacefully, that I'll be experiencing none of that. I guess a handful of emotions, including envy, frustration, worry and fears too often lately stand in the way of me accepting sickness and exhaustion. It's a good idea though and I have tried it, but I fail and most especially when my spine and feet start acting up and causing too much pain.

I haven't slept at all this morning and have mostly burdened myself with organizing my son's work. I am exhausted and presently unhappy with acceptance. :(

Sandstone, I appreciate your comments to me though as you've reminded me that it is essential we retain choice, letting go and we take unnecessary pressures off ourselves, even as life, illness and people see fit to pile them on.

Sleep...Uhh. 12 hours, a lot of nightmares, also bit through my lips

On no sleep.

Last night I think I may have slept, or was that another night? I don't know. One night recently, absolutely not ...and speaking overall and typically these nights, - No I don't :sour: sleep. Honestly it's frightening to work so hard and then be so exhausted and still not be able to fall asleep. Frankly, it pisses me off, :mad:.

Really poorly. Awake at 11:45, awake at 2, awake at 3, awake at 3:45, awake at 4:45... screw it, got up. Having sleep apnea, that's really quite a feat. No particularly disturbing dreaming either. What the heck? :unsure:

I slept well, thankfully. I don't recall any dreams. This is good, because when I don't recall any of them, if any were nightmares, they can't hurt me. After all I went through yesterday, worrying and then all turning out a lot better than I thought it would (I had a skin Dr.'s appointment, you know, the skin check where you have to get completely out of all your cloths! I brought my robe, so I could ask questions while decently attired. Even he complimented me on bringing the robe) I am so relieved. I had a really good sleep, like maybe 10 hours.

I slept peacefully and well last night, this has been going on since I found my better half and have been happy without the need for insomnia medicine that was prescribed for me.

I had a nasty nightmare, but even so it was better than the past few nights when I've barely slept at all.
