How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I was in pain last night, damned neck and shoulder, nothing much is helping pain wise and I don't want to take morphine based pain meds.

I may have a nap now.
 
((((KP))) Neck and shoulder pain are the pits feel for you.

I didn't get sleep till 2am i was wide eyed didn't feel like needed to sleep and then eventually went off slept till about 8am so not to bad.
 
Same old with me. I went to be at 1:30am and woke up 2 times to use the washroom. At least no more baby elephant dreams. :laugh:
 
I didn't sleep last night... I ended up walking the streets for several hours. I stood on the railway crossing for a while but there are no trains that time of night... I also had to resist the temptation to walk in front of one of the few lorries that passed. A really bad night but today is another day and I feel calmer but very tired.
 
Two nights in a row of bad nightmares.:mad: Sunday night I dreamed my mother was force feeding me (probably from posting a reply here that involved that) unpalatable things as an adult. I was trying to get them out of my mouth and "resisting" with negative mean words so as a punishment she was cutting my tongue out. Even though I was an adult in the dream she still had me tied in the chair (as she did in reality) so I couldn't stop her. It was excrutiating. When I woke up I must have been biting my tongue or something because it was SO sore and still is 2 days later.

Last night I had a nightmare about my recently ex-husband. In "real" life he is on another he is on another sex addiction trip overseas (long, disgusting story). I dreamed about finding out that he was charging some of the "expenses" of the trip on the credit cards that he had opened in my name without my permission. He did open these cards in reality and was court ordered to not charge on them and to pay them off in full--doesn't matter he has totally ruined my credit--I cant' even open a checking account! Anyway, in the dream he was charging on the ones that are in my name which is in violation of the court order and so I, with my lawyer, was finally going to be able to get him punished in some way for all he has done to me by having him thrown in jail for contempt of court and lose his license because of the conviction.

Woke up feeling the same hurt, misery, agony, regret, sadness, resentment over what I let him do to me and the kids for so many years. Always letting him convince me that what I thought was going on wasn't and that I was an absolute lunatic for the things I made up that I "thought" were happening. I wasted my life on an addict. Denial can really backfire on you sometimes.:(:cry:
 
I slept badly, the in mortal danger, being chased and trapped nightmares are back.

My fault, I allowed myself to get upset by a discussion/argument in chat just before going to bed.

Hopefully, I will manage them, I at least know now what significance they have.
 
Got to sleep around midnight. Woke at 2am for the toilet, and again at 3.30am. Then 4.45 again for the toilet. Got up at 5.20am to go to work. I think I will go take a nap. I am so tired.
 
I am sleeping some. However, I am awake each night about 2am-4am for 8 or so hours. Then I want to go back to sleep in the afternoon. It seems that my schedule is switched around!!:( I have been getting up in the night to get things done while I have energy.
 
I slept crappy last night, went to bed @ 2am. wide awake at 4am because I had some weird dream where I got seated @ a resteraunt in a back-kinda-room ( i was by myself), and they kinda forgot about me, the place was closing, was dark, and i felt like something was going to happen to me, I tried to be patient, but @ the end I flew off the handle @ the staff, asking them why they would put me in a situation that make me feel so unconfortable. Im not even sure where this dream came from.......
 
Once I got over whatever the hell I had I was getting a somewhat consistent 5-6 hours of sleep. Tonight, however, it's going to be three. Other shit got in the way which led to having to take a "nap" before I could finish what needs to be done by 7AM (I can't do an all-nighter and then teach the next morning. Doesn't work anymore) and get up. Just 19 more to go...sigh.
