How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[ninja]

It is hard because I can’t rely on a good night’s sleep, as it appears many here also deal with.
I did sleep better last night. 3 and then another 3-4. :)

I woke with panic, but soothed myself, again and again and again, and I kept listening and relistening to "The Three Minute Breathing Space".

About 4 hrs. Hard time falling asleep. Eventually took a Benadryl. It’s amazjng how sleep can take the edge off of difficult feelings, and how some things can look quite different in the morning.

Only roughly 4hrs...feel like hell! and this is a busy, demanding day: two med. appts. being therapist and l/knee hyaluronic acid injection series starts today! and also bldg. inspection...ugh! Stress abounds...went for 20min. walk...and now am drinking copious amts. of purified water (which the water and walk seem to help quite a bit).

I woke at 12am and sleep was fitful for the rest of the night. I tried having a video on. I did a 45 minute body scan. I also did the semi supine 4-5 times. It was not a sleeping night really. Mega stressed. I took my Endep at 7pm - so it kicks in earlier. I also took my emergency Valium, but my body is still tight as anything. Not the best sleep, but I didn't get upset about it, it is what it is.

I think I've gotten to that point @Disco Dancing Queen, I just get what I get. I'm used to being tired and I'm used to being painful, that is just normal for me.

Yeah me too! I am accepting it better and better.

Doing the 8 Week MBSR really helped with managing the sleep. My experience of worrying about my sleep changed.

Yes, I did an 8 week pain program that changed my thinking too. I'm going to try to nap a bit. I worked my butt off in the yard already so I deserve a rest!

Best sleep in weeks (maybe months). I got 5 hours then woke for 3 hours then got another 6 hours. I was so exhausted from yesterday. I may need to start exercising more if this is the result!!!

That is great!

Not the best, but also not the worst either. I am going to be moving back into sleeping tablet territory for 2 or 3 nights per week for 3 weeks. I did get more than three/four hours last night.
