General How Well Do You Sleep, As A Supporter

Probably about the same time as me :roflmao:

I was so tired this afternoon, I went to bed for an hour. I slept like a log for well over an hour. Still tired but feeling better.

We don't live together but live close by each other. I have gotten up and gone home in the middle of the night a few times - bc I have to get up for work early and need sleep. He is not the sole reason I can't sleep. I have my own mild case of insomnia. Now I realize, because he mentioned it, that it upsets him if he wakes up in the middle of the night and I am gone. I guess I just figured he slept through the night - he takes meds sometimes and knocks out pretty hard. One time I left and he called and asked me to come back bc he was having anxiety - I did. I'm tired a lot.

I went to bed early last night, before my husband so I could settle down and be relaxed before he came up.

I slept most of the night, apart from waking up around 4 am. I managed to get back off and did not get up while just before 7.

BF and I don't live together. We can easily fall asleep together, but after about 3 hours he will suddenly awake and want to sleep alone... which means one of us going home, or someone sleeping on the couch. He hasn't been home from Afgh very long, so I'm not pushing the issue, although it's disappointing not being able to wake up to him since he's come home.

At first, his restless sleeping (I can tell he's having nightmares) and restless leg kept me awake and alert. Now it's almost...calming, having him twitch next to me. Probably because I know he's feeling something. Is that weird?

 

[amethist]

Not weird at all Holly.

Its good to know they are feeling as the sleeping brain can sometime process things better than the awake one. OK the nightmares are not good, but processing is.

Well I made it as far as 1:19am!!!! I have no idea what has happened to my body clock :wideeyed: We have new neighbours too and their little girl woke me up again at 7:00am - but that's not a bad noise I guess...

That's it - I have officially entered the twilight zone...

I woke up in the middle of the night, reached down for my phone to see what time it is and found the dog asleep on it. Husband woke up and said it was 1:38am.

I dozed and then found my phone... 2:38am. Dozed a bit more, found my phone... 3:38am!

The worst bit came when I woke up a bit later with a horrible horrible sense of dread - it was like someone sitting on my chest. Eventually reached for my phone... 5:38am.

I really don't like this any more!

I slept really well last night, though had a strange dream.

I dreamt that some neighbour's were being really aggressive towards us for no reason. I then used White Majic to calm them down and it worked.

MMM maybe its about time I started doing things again that I used to do. ;)

Hi amethyst, glad you had a good sleep last night. I have always slept well but think the drama of living with a PTSD partner for three years is finally catching up on me. Sleep very poor lately, and as I'm a light sleeper when he (partner) sleeps badly, so do I! Time to get the spare room sorted with a bed so I can sneak in there from time to time. A good nights sleep is so important. I wonder what your dream means, I live trying to interpret dreams. Had some quite prophetic ones over the years.

I SLEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me a while to drop off, but I was comfy and cosy so didn't mind so much. Then I slept right through until 5:30am and then just dozed - it was soooooo lovely!!!!!! I put my favourite quilt cover on and I'm sure it worked a miracle!

 

[PeekieBlue]

Perhaps the favorite quilt is a magical quilt...induces sleep? I need one of those. Crap sleep again last night, awoke at 4 am then unsettled til about 7.15 when I hit back into a deep sleep and was awoken at 8.15, all groggy! May try a wee port tonight to help knock me out :)
