How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I slept ok, I didn't get as much as I had hoped. I had the strangest dream. I don't remember what happened exactly, but it had Christian Grey (a character from some books I'm reading), Captain Picard (from Star Trek: The Next Generation), some of my co-workers, and my ex boss. I was downtown (where I live), and there were escalators everywhere...Anyway, better than a nightmare.
 
I had a bad night last night. Too hot and I had restless legs. I hate RLS as I have to constantly keep moving and my feet burn. :(

I always have dreams, some are nonsense but others are terrifying. Last night H sounded like a fog horn, he snores so much! I didn't get up until 9:30 am o I don't feel to bad now.
 
I just woke up not long ago. Around 4am ish after some nightmares. I went to bed at about 12:30 - 1 am so, very little sleep. I attempted to fall back asleep but it didn't work. But sometimes I cannot bring myself to sleep subconsciously because of the nightmares which are recurring.

My partner says I sometimes look unhappy in my sleep, mumble, make sounds, shake, sometimes shout "no" and I wake up in fear. Which right after he comforts me and settles me down, tries to stop me from shaking and crying. I feel lonely and isolated when I wake up at home alone after these situations. Like tonight.
 
I have a hard time getting to sleep. I am awake sometimes for 2 hours with intrusive thoughts (this is when I cry alot quietly :() while my husband sleeps. I wish I could fall asleep with the tv on but my husband can't sleep unless it is dark.

Sometimes I go down stairs to lay on the couch and watch tv...then I can fall asleep.:sleep: The tv on helps stop the intrusive thoughts. But then the nightmares start, but minipress is helping that.
