I am so glad to hear that you slept well. Positive stories give me hope!! I wish I could say the same. I have not slept well for many nights. I'm not currently taking medication because of my genetics. Apparently, I'm a high metabolizer which renders most ineffective or causes severe and rare side effects. I had my cheeks swabbed several weeks ago and finally meeting with a pharmacist to review the massive gene report this Thursday! I do currently take a natural sleep supplement plus magnesium. I fall asleep fine, it's staying asleep that's the issue. I wake up in panic mode from terrifying lucid nightmares. My symptoms have worsened since I restarted EMDR this summer. I usually listen to meditation music and use breathing exercises to fall back to sleep. I'm hopeful the insomnia and nightmares will eventually go away.
