How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I actually slept ok.

Drone Girl was sleeping in the same room, which I found oddly comforting. It's not like we're involved or anything, but I was happy that she was here and it seemed to relax me. Probably a lot to 'unpack' there, as they say on the Internet.

I was woken up fairly early by a building a couple of streets away exploding. But I was sleeping ok until then!
 
i got three hours of sleep which is honestly pretty good for me (sucks) :/ i've been having night sweats and nightmares. last night i woke up screaming. that's becoming more frequent

Sometimes company feels safe enough to sleep in, sometimes the opposite. I’m normally the opposite but sometimes a someone has helped.

I often feel safer if there’s a cat or dog around.
Something about having something/one around that can sense the same stuff as you, helps. Even if realistically they can’t do anything (like a cat lol) if something bad happens. Maybe it’s a grounding thing, presence of someone else. Keeps you out of the shadows on the wall and back of your mind stuff.

Don’t know if you get this but being able to physically feel where others are in a room / building (once you know theyre there and stuff I’m not talking about anything mystical). Some kind of sense, maybe part of propriocetpion / spatial awareness. Must be grounding in some way. (Or extremely dysregulaiting in the case of unsafe feeling people).
 
Passed out for 11+ hours after I was kicked out the day before and took a walk in the early hours while pulling an all nighter.

Funny I wasn't as scared as I should have been but at least I had all that adrenaline which was much needed lol.

Can't believe I was awake for over 45 hours and was completely functional!
 
Wife said the cats were trying to get behind the curio cabinet, moved it to find a whole stash of cat toys, Missy's crinkle toys among them.

20 lb cat, playing with cat toys all night = 3 hours sleep.....
 
I slept for 3 hours last night because part of me would not shut up. She was crying obnoxiously and I did not know what to do other than to tell her to shut the f*ck up and go to bed. As expected, that did not help things. By the time I went to bed, I was so triggered by a show I was watching that I had a very vivid somatic flashback and threw up. Not good :(
