How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[ms spock]

I slept well last night. I did sleep on the couch with dvds in the background. But I am sleeping during the night.

Wow, 6 hours with 2 awakenings! That's the most in many months. But now I'm still sleepy and want to go back to bed...but I know that is counterproductive. Trying to resist.

Im sleeping really well most nights. With nights of restlessness every so often but thats no big deal.

I am glad that most are getting some decent sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me sleep. Have tried everything I can think of, relaxing music, warm bath, reading, burning oils and I still can't fall asleep on my own. I only sleep with prescribed sleeping tablets..:(

Maybe try some warm milk with honey or nutmeg?

I have had warm milk, but not with the honey or nutmeg. I will give it a try. Thank you

No problem Im always here to talk if you want.

Ay suggestions what I can do to avoid the nightmares once I finally go to sleep. I think that's the reason why I fight going to sleep, because I'm scared of the nightmares.

 

[cookinggal]

I usually write them down or turn them into my poetry

And it could be the nightmares are a side effect of your sleep aids depending on what your taking like mine were.

I slept all weekend given the fact that I was sick and had fevers up to 103.8. Yikes. I am still afraid to eat today but I will sleep some more. I might as well take advantage of it while I can.

I have sleeping tablets from my GP, but I don't take them every night, only when I get to the point of exhaustion will I take them. The rest of the time I don't take anything, not even herbal.

I know the nightmares inside out, they are a replay of exactly what happened at the incident that traumatised me in the first place. I just can't escape it day or night.
