How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I keep dreaming about my family...my old family...over and over..doing mundane things..nothing bad just being a family...before that moment when things blew up....I don't wake up missing them ...my father who is dead is in them...I don't miss any of them...but I weirdly sleep well and wake up exhausted. Yes, I wake up like somebody used my body for a punching bag, I am balled up at the bottom of the bed, and I never want to get up or go for my walk..I don't want to wake up ...EVER.... I don't know...maybe it's because I don't feel well :( maybe because something weird is going on...
 
Last night we had a full moon. I found it very hard to fall asleep. I managed to finally drop off at 2am and had to get up at 5am. So only 3 hours for me last night! A collegue told me that it is normal to find it hard to sleep when there is a full moon because it lights everythingup. You are exposed to nature, especially when outside. Therefore if you have a strong survival instinct, this defence mechanism makes it hard to sleep! Interesting theory he has there!
 
I slept well. I was dosed up on painkillers and was curled up in bed and asleep by 10pm. I am still having awful 'trapped' dreams but they are not making me wake up shouting.
 
Not a bad night for me, actually. I slept much more than usual--about 6 hours uninterrupted! Still had bad, unsettling dreams but at least they weren't nightmares. No one was killing me--just making me hopeless and miserable and ruining my life.... Of course I had to top it off by waking up in a total panic because the alarm didn't go off--jumping out of bed heart pounding, adrenaline rushing, waking up my daughter for school an hour and a half late--thus sending her into a panic... Only to realize after about 10 minutes that it was Saturday!!:x3::poop: This is the second time in a month I have done this! Needless to say my daughter is NOT amused!
 
I don't actually remember how i slept last night so it can't of been that bad or maybe i just have rubbish memory. Wonder what tonights sleep will bring.
 
I haven't slept yet. It's nearly 5am. I laid in bed for a very long time and once came close to falling asleep, but started tossing and turning and coughing some, and so no such luck. I am very tired, and now nervous about how much more tired I'll be in an hr. from now when my husband attempts to wake me.
 
Not too bad for me, fingers crossed my sleep isn't too much of an issue at the moment. I definitely think the anitdepressants i had been on were causing even more havoc with my insomnia. THings have been better sleep wise since being off them.
 
Slept about 5 hours without waking.Then fell back asleep for an hour then up for good. Pretty good sleep for me. Still had a nightmare about my Ex hurting me emotionally and physically, about him wanting to see the kids, about him trying to manipulate me and at the end me hurting myself.:(
