How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I really can't remember what a good nights sleep feels like anymore, I don't even remember my nightmares as much anymore, I just wake up anxious about 5 or 6 times during the night. Get to sleep about 12 and I'm awake from 3am, dozing from time to time from about 5am to 6am, and then it's time for work. I thought you weren't supposed to dream for a while after going to sleep, but I can have a nightmare, fall asleep again and wake up from the next nightmare within half an hour of looking at the clock last. It really sucks having continuous nightmares.
 
My therapist told me that some medications we take for sleep will promote REM sleep. For many of us that means that we will have odd dreams and 'things' might come out, like nightmares and memories.
 
I take meds for sleep..what I get is 2-4 hrs of peaceeeeeeee..then the nightmares blech..business as usual.

nightmare last night...driving up the same stretch of road without a shoulder on either side...up up up into the sky turning swerving and forjumpingoffacliffintoafrozenlake I am driving a freaking school bus ---the short bus!!! I kid you not and it's full of my art supplies :speechless:...then I tip it over because the turn is too sharp and I fall out of the sky. I end up sideways in an intersection with my leg pinned under the bus. I feel the pain and see my paintings and paint all over the place. Two men come up, one wants to help but can't pull me out, the other stands there and tells me how fked up it all is :O_o: I keep wondering where the other road leads.
 
I've been catnapping nonstop since i got home from the hospital, but never really sleeping. i literally fell asleep mid-bite of jello at dinner last night :) woke up a minute or so later with the spoon still in my hand
 
I slept well, I have had demons visit for a few nights. Last night I relaxed with H. We sat outside until late, drank some wine and watched the stars. It was what I needed to unwind.
 
I went to bed between 1:30am and 2am and I usually sleep ok. Usually I have to get up 1 or 2 times to use the washroom but last night I had to 3 times. Oh to sleep a night right through would be heaven.
