How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Charmedone]

I had my safe person talk to me until I was asleep, had about an hour of really good sleep. Lots of good funny dreams and woke up calmly. :) I am so grateful for my safe person and her kindness.

I just woke up from a nightmare where I was being really badly bullied in some weird courtyard like St. Marks square. They kept making me feel uncomfortable and it was scary.I was also awake until 3 and its 6:30 now. Any sleep I did have was terrible. Why can't I just not need sleep?

Woke up once for the bathroom, then had weird kind of nightmares.

Feel totally exhausted. Like someone has stolen all my energy. I slept the whole afternoon but feel like i am totally fatigued. :(

I slept good with no dreams. I just love this. I hated the years of nightmares I used to have. I can still remember them. They were so vivid. I am so glad I sleep good now for most of the time.

Only 3hours sleep tonight *sigh* looks like it's going to be another long night. Anxiety, wide awake out of a sound sleep, ready to run.

I woke up in the middle of the night having a nightmare, I woke feeling fear and raging anxiety. I can't remember the details, as often happens, but I know it was about guns. Guns and being threatened with them are a part of my trauma.

It probably happened because last night hubby and I were watching a movie where a scene involving guns and it was very triggering.

Haven't stopped thinking about it today either :(

Shellbell, It sounds you don't like watching violence and that offends your soul. This is why you have seen those nightmare.

Hope you feel better soon :hug:

I slept good but I had a dream. I do not remember it. Just little fragments. I do not think it was a good dream

I periodically have nights where I just can't fall asleep. My mind isn't racing. I feel SUPER tired. I usually haven't had caffeine. I just won't be able to fall asleep till sometime after 5:00am. It doesn't happen too often, but when it does, it usually comes in waves (three nights in one week). It's really frustrating, as I'm in grad school and need energy/focus and HAVE to study regardless of whether or not I feel like it. :depressed:

There's nothing so soothing as a warm puppy!

Oh my, that is so true. My little dog curls up next to my shoulder and I sleep with an arm around her. The big dog sleeps against my legs. Just the comfort I need to chase away the demons.
