How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[BlackbirdSinging]

I've been doing my old trick to avoid nightmares again. I've been staying up until 3am-4am when I'm completely exhausted. Then the next day I'm completely exhausted. It tends to make my symptoms worse too. I did the same thing last night. I tossed and turned but I don't remember any nightmares.

Not a good night

Hope you have a better night Janic. Sorry it so disrupted.

Blackbird, that sounds familiar.

I had half an hour sleep last night (Sunday) and had a long busy work day today (monday). Its now 7 am and I have dosed for an hour or so around midnight. Hoping this will balance out again a bit.

pretty well

Good news Loloma. I hope its still going in that direction.

Hugs to anyone who needs them. :sleep:

I slept well. I was back in my own bed, snuggled under a new goose and duck feather duvet with fresh clean bedding - bliss.

I couldn't sleep. There was a big thunderstorm. Thunderstorms scare me. So I went to my mothers room, but I ended up flinching so I left her room and I went to the basement. It was easier there- there's a small window close to the ceiling but it's covered, so I slept better there. And the thunder noise was hushed. I probably slept maybe 6 hours total. My sleep has been getting better though with managing my symptoms.

I hope you all, Jen93, Jacnic, Abstract and BlackbirdRising all sleep better tonight.

KP glad that your room is finally finished, every the lovely goose and duck feather doona. They are sooooooo nice and soft and light to sleep under. Like sleeping under a cloud.

I have been having so many nightmares and sleeping really bad again. Woke with a shocking headache and slept on and off on the couch all day today.

I slept okay last night. I am so lucky that whilst being on medication my sleeping problems improved immensely.

I slept better than I thought I would. It was the first night sleeping with my new hard mouth splint. Apart from waking up and realising I was drooling (yeah, I know, nice look), I slept well.

The new bed and duvet is certainly comfy.

I stayed up until after 3am to avoid nightmares again and then had a "dream" about an ex who used to abuse me. Anytime I dream about him I consider it a nightmare.

I've been consciously trying to improve my sleeping. Been working on it w/my therapist, and trying to implement strategies to cut down on the interruptions. But.... I'm feeling so pessimistic today, could use some support. I went to bed early, last night, 9pm.

I have to get up for work at 4:30am. But, my daughter woke me up three times. My husband woke me up at midnight. My dog woke me up once or twice, and I had a nightmare. I'm so depressed that it's only 6am here.... and I'm already worn out. Some days.... it's hard to know how to make it through. I know I will, but I'm so busy.

all sleep better tonight

Oh thanks Loloma!

so many nightmares and sleeping really bad again.

That is horrible. Hope it gets better soon and you have some peace and rest.

could use

Sorry that I dont have any solutions Leah. I know how that feels. Thank goodness it is generally a little better these days but I went over a year with an average of 1 hr a night. Enough to make anyone feel crazy.

MY sleep is weird at present. I am not sleeping at all at night. If I have to go to work I am going after no sleep or possible an hour or two if I start work late. If not I am sleeping as if drugged. I hate the drugged stages more than the insomnia. I have slept for about 14 hours today and I feel as if someone has drugged me. hope it doesnt do what it has done in the past where I have slept for 20 hrs a day compulsively. Hopefully will pass soon.

Hugs to anyone who needs them.

I woke up a lot last night. I woke up with panic attacks but I managed to get my breathing down and then go and do a small amount of exercise.

It is 8.30 am with no sleep and I need to start getting ready for work in an hours time. Hoping I can get an hours sleep in now.
