How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I've been anxious since that nightmare the other night. I'm so tired of fighting the anxiety. Last night I had a series of disturbing dreams. That made me even more anxious all day today. I just realized I'll be getting ready for bed in a little while. And I felt myself cringe. I'm so hesitant to go to sleep. I want to sleep to escape. I want to wake up tomorrow but I don't want to wake up tomorrow and have yet another day of anxiety. Does this ever get better? Does it ever stop? My system is so fried.
 
I've been sleeping less again...and I've also had a resurgence of nightmares when I finally do manage to get some sleep. I dozed of earlier this afternoon but was woken up by my cough maybe 20 minutes into it. Sigh.
 
I used to take attarax but that stuff would knock me out... that is when I finally fell asleep. 9am here and I just took some Remeron that my doctor had prescribed me (that I begged her after putting me on so many different types of sleeping pills). She was apprehensive to prescribe this to me, I know I took it a few times but can't remember if it helped or not
 
Hard to fall asleep last night and stay asleep - maybe got four/four-and-a-half hours? No nightmares or bad dreams. I just seem to be processing things in the back of my mind (during the day also) and it's zapping my energy :-(
 
I slept for 6 hours, woke up at 7, decided there was nothing worth getting up for, and went back to sleep til 1 in the afternoon. I had a horrible nightmare when I fell back asleep; that'll teach me not to stick to the routine of getting up and fighting the depression.

Oh, Hypersomnia, I haven't seen you in a while, but I can only assume Insomnia is on holiday and you're taking over. What happened to RegularSleepPattern? I was fond of her for the little while she was around, and she is far preferable to you Hypersomnia.

Sigh. I don't want to let myself fall back asleep again tomorrow if I wake early. I will put a note by my bed saying to get my lazy butt up.
 
Can't believe how lately, I am laying down to take a nap, and it is a long nap. I'm so sleepy, that it is like my body needs to rest. Today, I went back and was around someone I had not seen in a long time. It was at a beauty shop, and I participated in the conversations, but it was like when I got home, I needed to lay down which I did.
