How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[whiteraven]

Even with meds, I did not sleep at all last night. Tossed and turned all night, then had to get up at 530am because my cat threw up. I was sooo tired, but I just couldn't sleep.

@whiteraven Sorry to hear. Have you gotten any decent sleep since?

Last night I had a creepy nightmare that was half related to my trauma and half not. I did get a decent amount of sleep at least though.

Yes. I've been sleeping pretty well the last two days.

Oh good, glad to hear it.

I rarely sleep deep and well. I've gotten off of prescrips and have tried to rely on melatonin gummies and maybe zzzquil on occasion. There is a product called Stress-Relax Tranquil Sleep that can be pretty effective.

@Whispering_Truth I'm sorry to hear you rarely sleep well. I usually take 0.5 mg of Xanax before bed. Melatonin tends to make me agitated. I have not heard of Stress-Relax Tranquil Sleep before.

I slept ok, I got up a couple times in the middle of the night.

I slept okay but I don't feel rested.

I took my night meds late so I was up late. I did manage to sleep in today though. No nightmares.

I have scary nightmares been 7 months now. Mostly I dream that I stuck in a spooky house or a car, can't find a way out. Sometimes, someone try to kill me or hurt me. I dreamed of me dead or break my leg or arm. The most scary one I was drowning in a sea without help.

So far I've been noticing that most of the dream end up with me feeling hopeless, stuck, and scared.
But slowly these nightmares are fading away.
I try to watch memes or funny videos before sleep, it helps a lot.

I'm sorry to hear you have been having scary nightmares. Memes and funny videos before bed seem like a good idea. That's something I should try.

Went to bed at about 4am (usual time for me to guarantee some sleep.) I was doing great until my upstairs neighbours dog started howling. Looked at the clock, it was 6.20 am!

That was it for the night. Neighbour was out so his dog carried on until well after 8. Neighbour finally returned just after 1pm, the poor dog had been on his own for almost 17 hours.
