How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[JSKarma]

Not the best..ate something that made my stomach upset :(

I just found this thread. Great topic.

Have you tried falling asleep with calm music or scene sounds to distract thoughts?

I have insomnia and barely sleep...marijuana is what gets me sleep but if I don't have that music helps sometimes as well.

I am sleeping so much. At least 10 hours overnight and an afternoon nap.

JSKarma, yes I have tried music, watching funny (non-traumatic) movies, and complete silence. I also have a fish tank in my room with very soothing sounds of water.

I've tried drinking alcohol to relax and not drinking. I've tried sleeping pills from the doctor. They might help me fall asleep but only for a couple hours. I still have bad dreams and feel very restless. Nothing seems to work.

I did not sleep at all. Storms were all around us and my little dog was nervous. No one gets sleep when he is nervous. He even had a little doggie valium his vet gives him for his anxiety about storms, and that did not help him last night.

Then I had to spend the morning fighting my short term disability company to get my stuff processed, then my husbands check was shorted so I had to call and sort that out, had to have the psyc fax a report to the family doctor for a report so he can write me meds, then set appt with new T.

Today was the housekeepers day to come and now I have to go to the doctor. I have $20 that says when I come and go to sleep this afternoon it will be a 20-24 hour sleep. I hope anyway!

Praying my family doctor gives me something that will help me. I have been off meds for over 2 years. I am hoping he will give me a concoction like I was on before, an upper for the day time and a downer for nights with a little something in there to numb my mind.

I need to go to bed earlier, I sleep well, no bad dreams but I wake up so tired. I really need to make a commitment to myself to go to bed earlier.

The problem is that it is me time for me. I really enjoy this so much.

I slept pretty well. Got to bed quite late (2a.m) but I feel like I've slept enough anyway. Yesterday was a relaxing day, and I listened to some very evocative, calm music last night before bed.

Bad night as my T upset me in session with her yesterday :cry:.

I slept very well again. I was up at 7.30am to get ready for work. I feel so tired I will have a nap later.

I had a horrible night, full of nightmares. Woke up exhausted and sad. I'll have a lot to talk about with my T today.

Slept all day. Literally all day. Woke up to the sound of rain pounding against my window at quarter to six in the evening. I had messed up dreams about people trying to kidnap me, people trying to manipulate me, people lying to me, people trying to brainwash me, not being able to get to safety, familiar places being demolished or changed in ways that made it impossible for me to find refuge in them. Messed. Up.

I managed to get a pretty good nights sleep last night. First time in weeks. I really must say these new pain meds are working well. I only woke up twice last night, and was able to go right back to sleep.

Safe, gentle group hug (((( group hug )))), if you allow them. Sounds like some of us have busy day ahead, and my heart goes out to those who either can't sleep or sleep too much. I'm sure glad we have each other.
