How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[tillybee]

Sleep? Please translate as this is alien to me!

Hence I'm still awake, even after sleep meds, at this hour. Looks like no sleep until tomorrow night then :S

Well - lately, I have not been sleep well for almost a week then I notice it become better but not 100% yet.

As for now, I can't sleep :-(

Not very well. Trauma has brought back my childhood fear of the dark, so I sleep with my light on.

Poor amount and quality of sleep. No position felt comfortable and I ended up being restless in bed all night.

I have had a lot of trouble sleeping since doing therapy again. Been going to bed around 2-3 then waking up around 5-6 then going back to sleep waking back up around 8-9 and then being up all day. maybe once a week i can sleep through the night. It's been pretty terrible. Dream wise, been having wonderful dreams...which makes reality that much harder for me to face. My dreams are really trying to help me cope I guess living the perfect life in there...but when I wake up it just ends up hurting me more.

My falling to sleep is better. My Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy counselor had suggested something I thought was really insipid, but after not taking that advice for a year, I finally tried it.

When 10:00 arrives, I say to myself. "I'm tired. I like sleep. I think I'll go to sleep." Whether I believe it or not.

After doing this for the past three weeks, now it's automatic. Now, I feel like a dope for not trying it sooner. It doesn't work every time, but as soon as I start saying it, I seem to notice that indeed my body feels tired.

Weird.

Blah. Can't sleep, sleep schedule's been off since last week- that's okay though- more time for homework! But I miss sleep.

I seem to be in a holding pattern of not being able to sleep until I am thoroughly exhausted, then I sleep for about 90 minutes at a time before I wake up. I do this for about 5 hours and then I am up for the day. Needless to say I am sleep deprived to some degree and it affects me emotionally and physically.

I recently learned that I have sleep apnea and will be getting a machine to help me breath while I am asleep, so I am hoping for an improved quality of sleep in near future.

Sleep? What's that? :wideeyed:

 

[BlackbirdSinging]

What's that? :wideeyed:

I think it's that thing I did between 4am and 9:30am this morning. It had to be because it was dark and I think my eyes were closed. But there were no nightmares so I'm skeptical haha. I hope you get some sleep soon.

@BlackbirdSinging, Your eyes were closed?.. The only thing what's closed in my face is my nose, respectively my sinuses. They're filled with yucky, acid puss that does the tango!

I hope you feel better soon!
