How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Gadgie]

Well for once I know I'm going to sleep OK tonight, as I'm taking my "knock out" pill.

The doctor only allows me 7 (I think that's due to my recent event?) but they do help me get a sleep, and that will be the first one in a while.

Didn't want to start my own thread, so thought I'd tag on here. I have been sleeping awfully, very fitful with much flooding of memories. The other day I awoke in the middle of a panic attack. Last night and this morning I kept waking myself up out of nightmares where I thought I was awake, but in a different reality, where these strange people, mostly men, were in my bedroom with the lights off menacing me and threatening to harm me. I just kept screaming out to Jesus and telling them to go back to hell. I thought they were demons. Oh my gosh, it was horrifying. I'm still freaking out and wanted to call my T this morning, but it's not really a crisis so I don't want to bother her, so I'm putting it out here because I don't want to keep it bottled up inside. I don't know what to make of this. It just happened so many times in a row and each time it was a different set of guys. Just freaky. Thanks for reading, must get ready for the job. VB

I've been sleeping about 4 hours a night for about a week. Last night I finally slept about 6 hours. Of course I slept long enough to apparently have a nightmare I can't remember. I woke up feeling like anxious and depressed.

For the past week or so I have slept 18+ hours per day due to a relapse with SAD and CFS, (which seemed to trigger my PTSD as well.

I slept peacefully last night. Today, I woke up at 2 in the afternoon.

My sleep is insanely bad. I'm having bad dreams now after finding out my daughter had been molested. This is such a sucky time. I hate it.

At the point of "too depressed to want to stay awake", just spending all day sleeping, sad.

I'm having problems sleeping these days, not with just my usual nightmares, but because I've got tubes coming from my kidneys, they are being drained while I wait for an operation in hospital, soon I hope?

I can't get comfortable in any position, as both the tubes are in my back, which makes sleeping nearly impossible?

I went to bed at 1.30am after taking my meds, read until 2.30 when I started to feel sleepy.

Put the light out, put it back on again and spent the next half an hour wandering around the flat checking that the doors were locked, where the cat was, if the degus cage was secure - you get the picture.

Finally went back to bed at about 4am and then spent the rest of the night tossing and turning until I got up just after 9am.

And its not the first night I've spent like this of late.

I actually got a good night's sleep last night.

I slept well. I had a dream about my mom, she's deceased, during happier times. It left me feeling comforted.
