How Did You Sleep Last Night?

((((SRain)))

I never sleep well. Ever. Last night was not to be excluded. I am tired of being tired. How can we- I - get motivated when we don't have enough energy to even try- and the headaches just keep on coming! Why is there no freaking excedrine in this country!?!?! I am going to have to go back to the states just to stock up.
 
I had one of the worst nights sleep for a long time. Nightmares - yuck, one after the other, danger, death, body parts, mortal danger...............

Then I must have been actively fighting to get away and kept getting terrrible leg cramps down the outside of my legs and ankles.
 
Okay til my husband picked a fight at 4 am... yelling at me from the hallway. I HONESTLY didn't do anything to deserve it... then tried twice to get some communication and off the rails it went. So... 6 hours, then not so good.
 
Slept on and off for 4 hrs which was good. No nightmares :) Just surreal kind of dreams which was kind of nice.

Was totally knackered and nearly passed out. Good for sleeping though.
 
I have no memory of dreaming last night :sleep:, which is cool with me :cool:...still, I have a condition that causes me to receive unrefreshing sleep and so most of the time, I do not awake feeling rested.......today was no different in that regard.:(

Fortunately, my body seems to be getting close to the required amount of 7-8 hours sleep, :D (which is the amount I personally need).
 
I just took a RAD class, it is Rape/Agression defense, and it was awesome. But, it made me relive so many memories. Then the holidays coming, and it makes me realize just how much I had to give up just to live free. The holidays makes it so much harder, and sleeping is not refreshing at all. I still don't dream much, and I am glad. Life has been bad enough. I feel for you who are in the same boat, and that is how I cope with most of my life, by concentrating on others. Sometimes, though, when I am sitting alone, my mind wanders, and it always goes to the past, and I just get sad.
 
OMG did I sleep - 13 hours. BUT I woke often during the night, the dog didn't help by asking to go outside at 4am - he did need a poo though so I couldn't be cross :rolleyes:.

I also had such awful dreams. Firefighters and appliances are a major trigger to me and again I was in a fire station having flashbacks and panic attacks. I couldn't breathe, you know that fish out of water, gasping for air thing. I remembered holding onto something and trying to ground myself by touching the wall but it was if my hands were frozen, I just couldn't let go.
 
Slept on the couch because I can hear the cars on the road and people on the sidewalk talking from my bedroom. Best night's sleep I've had in a while. :alien:
