How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I saw the title of this thread and laughed. Sleep? at night? surely you jest.
It's almost 2 am now and I'm wide awake again. Last night (morning) I was up til 5:30 or so.

I tried to fall asleep before then but I was extra scared and looking around in the darkness more than usual. I was up at 7, 8, and finally 11 am. I don't have to be anywhere early.
 
I woke up from 3 a.m. until 5:30 a.m. My doctor increased one my dosage of Klonopin to see if it will help me sleep better. Only problem is I start night classes at the end of August and cannot drive much less stay awake for a three hour class twice weekly on the increased dose. This is what I have to work with since my old doctor left? This is not a good plan.
 
I must be working on something crucial in therapy because the night before last I had another nightmare and then I had a dream about the mother of someone who traumatized me.

Last night I fell asleep early for me and started dreaming that I was wheezing and having trouble breathing. I think I was actually wheezing in my sleep because I could hear my own breathing and after awhile it woke me up. I fell back to sleep and had a dream that I had to go see a pulmonologist because something was wrong with my asthma. Which I do actually have.

When I woke up in the morning my chest had that funny feeling it gets when I've been wheezing or I'm about to start. I was exhausted all day. My mom said I sounded hoarse too. I really didn't want to have another reason that sleep is an issue with me but it looks like I might have another one whether I like it or not.
