How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I woke up at 5:30 AM having a nightmare about trying to kill black widow spiders with a special spray...I got 2/3rds of them, but was too afraid and stalling to kill the last few, because they were tricky for some reason. Or maybe that's what I dreamt when I went back to sleep.

All I know is I was terrified when I woke up. Took me a few minutes to convince myself I could get out of bed and go to the bathroom safely. I'm not used to feeling that way when I wake up...I make plenty of noise and upset sounds when I sleep, but not wake-up fear.

Why did I dream about spiders? Maybe because we got it sprayed at our house last week...
 
Last night I slept 3 1/2 hours. I was up at 4am ironing the boys clothes, packing backbacks, and playing games on facebook. At least it's better than the night before where I only slept 15 minutes!!!!:eek:
 
My Grace had her paw on my left hand most of the night... If I'd stir she'd purr. I slept well, then after waking started having trouble. But my animal friends are more empathetic than the people right now.. it does balance but makes me sad. Incredibly sad.
 
For anyone who has tried to conquer their sleeplessness with a sleeping aid - have you experienced weirdness with it? A few times when I have tried it, my sleep was very active with images. I want to wake up, but the drug won't let me. Kind of like being held under water. Anyone else have this experience? And, no, I won't use that kind of thing anymore now. I would rather stay awake and play solitaire.
 
I slept badly. For the first time in ages I dreamt of my crash. The difference was that I didn't crawl out I had to sit there whilst the emergency services cut the car away from me. I could feel the car roof and the truck resting on my head and I kept thinking the truck was going to fall further and crush me. I was terrified
 
I have slept more in the past week since my tonsillectomy than I have in the other 20 years of my life, no joke. I literally get up in the morning, maybe knock off one episode of glee before I'm passed out until midday when I get another episode in before I'm out until dinnertime where I don't eat...and then I'm back in bed by 7 :) Not to brag...but it feels wonderful to sleep this much after sleeping only every few days
