How Did You Sleep Last Night?

(Knock on wood) sleep has been good as of late.
I'm not having any nightmares.
I've been able to sleep without pain, dissoicative flashbacks or episodes or an immersion into terror, sobbing, thought, painful memory or space, prior to sleep.
 
Awful, awful, awful, nightmares, vivid images of people inflicting pain on others, hostage situations and all followed by the usual chestnit of being drapped and in mortal danger. I kept waking in terror, then as I went to sleep another would surface. So a night of nightmares, waking, more nightmares..........
 
I have been on Ambien for a year, and have less daytime energy all the time. I suspect it might be related to Ambien use every night. I went off it about 3 weeks ago. Now I fall asleep around daylight. Sometimes I make myself get up, but other days, I sleep til mid afternoon. Several times I have forced myself to stay up all day, missing a whole night of sleep, so that I will sleep well the following night. I do, I crash by 11 and sleep 14 or more hours, still not waking til afternoon, then up until dawn again. I hate it, but Im trying to just be patient with myself.
