How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[ms spock]

Panic about going to bed very high last night. I ended up half a cake. Woke up highly anxious at 2.30am. Got up about 3am, I did go to bed really early last night. So sleeping with high anxiety.

Had a solid sleep. But woke up early after a vivid nightmare of confronting a former friend. I could have sworn he was trying to talk to me telepathically. It was scary shit.

I am struggling with sleep. I woke up for the 2.30am rape call last night. I got cranky and frustrated about that, which is not helping myself. Settled down, and went back to sleep. No TV or news after 6pm. I am going to try that for a month.

Woke up about 3. Had a lot of early memories wizzing around my brain that I couldn't write in my trauma diary, even though I wanted to. I was up at a friend's place in the hills; no internet coverage. I ended reading a bit of my new book What doesn't kill you; the new psychology of posttraumatic growth and doing some zentagling. The zentagling really helped settle my mind and I slept well until morning after that.

Thank you @Disco Dancing Queen for sharing about your new book's title that you are reading. I am still struggling with sleep deprivation...and I took off my cpap about 2 weeks ago because it was only making things worse. I am averaging only about 4 hours of sleep and I must take naps in the afternoon. Otherwise...I am very grateful and feeling somewhat serene and also relaxed this p.m.

Any sleep since yesterday. I awaked at 15:00h and still open eye. It seems I am back to day time sleeping again.

Awake @ 3 a.m. and went back to sleep...up again @ 4 a.m. and decided to go ahead and start my day...WT?

Still disturbed sleep, woke up a lot, and kept putting myself back to sleep.

I can’t even remember the last time I had a full nights sleep, I think it was a life time ago now. Between the nightmares and having to get up for a pee, (I’ve got cancer in my bladder wall, and they have fitted a “stent” to bypass it)

So, after I’ve gone 5 or 6 nights with hardly any sleep, I take a pill that gives me at least 2 or 3 hours sleep, before having to get up again? The doctor has rationed me to 5 of these pills a month, as he says they are very addictive.

I was awake until after 2am. Apparently opening up to someone at 10pm is not the best idea. Not doing that again.

A struggle with sleeping, just radical acceptance, it is what it is.

Yes @Disco Dancing Queen - me too...radical acceptance...on my waking up in the middle of the night...and regarding my sleep issues too.
