How Did You Sleep Last Night?

So, my thyroid is being uncooperative which is leaving me exhausted and on the edge of sleep all the time BUT when I do sleep I'm getting hit with nightmare after nightmare. Pretty much in a constant state of 'have to sleep, don't wanna sleep...have to sleep, don't wanna sleep'. Hoping one of these things will lighten up soon.
 
I feel like I was awake all night. I think I fell asleep at like 4am. And I was awake again at like 8:50am. I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee but I'm so tired I feel like I could just go back to sleep for another 3 or 4 hours.
 
I fell asleep without taking my night medications. I woke up and it is too late to take them. Now I cannot sleep and I have so much to do tomorrow. How am I going to get anything done?
 
I really hate the nightmares. I just had one wake me up out of a sound sleep about 40 minutes ago. Otherwise I would have gotten a good 6 and a half or 7 hours of sleep. See? That's what happens if I sleep for long periods of time. Nightmares. I hate them.

I do this alot. It drives me nuts that I mess so many of my days up like this. I have sleeping tablets if needed but I end up sleeping in the next day. I don't know about anyone else but I sleep well in the day. I feel safer sleeping in the day.
 
I had the weirdest dream last night. In it, my sister put a cigarette out on my face! (She doesn't smoke, though she used to way back in her 20s, but we are both in our 50s and 60s now). In the dream I cussed her out, cussed everyone out around me there too, but in real life I don't cuss. When I woke, I felt like I should be able to feel that cigarette burn, but I couldn't. I sure expected to though!
