How Did You Sleep Last Night?

Struggled with sleeping and waking at 1am, 3am, 5am, and 6am, lots of waking - I don't get upset about it anymore though, it is what it is, I snuggled B from 6am onwards. I got up before 7am.
 
My sleeping has improved significantly.

I had three hours of deep sleep last night.

I am doing a plethora of things to manage my fear of rape at night. So currently I have comedians or news programs in the background so when I wake up I know there is no fear of rape, I am not in that time anymore.

So many things I do for sleep - it takes a lot to manage, at the best of the time but I have made progress once again.
 
For a few days I was sleeping rough, but I talked to my psychiatrist and he increased the dosage of the nighttime medication. He said it will also help with the anxiety, which is weird because of some of the sources of my anxiety coinciding with the nighttime medication, but it does seem to be helping, I am not so anxious today.
 
I dreamt I was awake. So I’m not sure if I was actually sleeping or just sitting on the edge of dreamland swinging my legs over the side for 3 hours.
 
I slept well last night. I kept going back to sleep and snuggling B. It really helped. I am getting a lot of snuggling with B, at night, and it is really helping. I have programs running at night. It helps me grounded in this now.
 
About two weeks of dreaming of nothing but dead people.

Distracting it with lucid dreaming (yo, head, I had plenty of fun with plentyliving, thanks) seems a no go. But at least the spoilers for another night are clear already. :D The bright sides, the bright sides.
 
My sleep is so disrupted, it is ridiculous but I won't get upset about it, or give it much time. I am waking up regularly and watching the clock during the night. But knowing the time is more comforting than not knowing the time. No matter how poor my sleep is I am getting up at either 6am or 5am and going walking, I am just going for bust. I will just keep trying to reregulate my sleeping. I am not sleeping well, and at times I am so tired, and barely awake during the day yesterday but I just keep on going.
 
I keep waking up repeatedly throughout the night, and my anxiety has seeped into my sleeping and dreaming. I need to reassure myself during the night.
