How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[BlackbirdSinging]

I slept for 2 and a half hours last night. I think that says it all.

Despite taking my prazosin, last night was a bad night for nightmares. I kicked my cat a few times who was sleeping at my feet and got woken up to claws. My husband says I screamed all night last night and kept him awake. I know he woke me up a couple times.

I slept well and woke up very early today.

Oh my life, I slept so badly last night. First time in a long time I really got no proper sleep and I need to on top of my game at work today. It's going to be a very long day!

I'm really struggling to get to sleep most nights now since starting Sertraline last week. I was feeling tired last night and went to bed at 9pm, and was still lying there at 12.30! My restless leg syndrome is terrible at night now too. :arghh;

Terrible...still can't sleep a full night in bed. Shoulder still bothers me too much and keeps me awake. Though, on a positive note, there is improvement!

I went to bed at the usual time, 9 PM. It was New Years Eve. I expected that I would wake at midnight when the fireworks would most likely go off. Instead, I woke at 3 AM and could not get back to sleep. In fact, I had a lot of energy. However, I did not want to wake my neighbors, as they are all friends of mine. So, I found quiet things to do, like reading my Bible, coming here online and going over my thread alerts, etc. Then finally when it was 7 AM, I got up and started to clean out my closets! (I hate housekeeping usually). I did not make any plans to do this or New Years resolutions to clean or anything. It just occurred to me this morning that I wanted to do this today!

So I got plenty of exercise carrying boxes and bags of stuff to the garbage cans way down at the back door at the end of the hall I live on. I think I walked a mile carrying these things in all! I've been doing this on and off all morning since I started and now my closets are for the most part finished. There is only one more shelf to do.

I wonder what I dreamed last night! I have no idea, as I hardly ever recall my dreams. It must have been a real dooozie of a dream is all I can say!

Oh, and for quite some time before this morning, I had been sleeping well, not waking up early and in general feeling well rested. I sure felt well rested this morning too! I am puzzled....

I didn't sleep very well. My best friend (who slept next to me) woke me up around midnight because she was crying. I tried to calm her down but she just cried and cried...and finally fell asleep. I had some strange dreams after this...they were dangerous and adventerous but above all oppressive.

I slept poorly and then woke with high anxiety, but better than panic attacks, so progress. I will take it.

I slept okay, I woke up with high anxiety and did lots of mindfulness audio tapes to try and shift my mind.

 

[Britt.f7]

I slept like I always do where I wake up throughout the night. Not for long, just enough to be annoying.

I slept soundly last night. High anxiety upon waking so I did the yoga nidra four times, then I did a mindfulness body scan and then I did the semi supine position.
