General How Well Do You Sleep, As A Supporter

[amethist]

Sleep has been a bit up and down for the last few nights. A combination of just not being able to sleep, hubby being not able to sleep and my menopausal hot flushes.

The last few nights have not been too bad.

Hubby has not woken me up with his issues as he knows I have trouble getting to sleep due to the hot flushes and the pain in my arms.

Once I have got to sleep i have managed to sleep all night.

I used to sleep soundly through the night. Now that I am living with my vet, I will wake up multiple times during the night. I usually wake up when he has nightmares, it's like a sixth sense. Whenever he takes his ambien to help him sleep, I loose a couple hours rest. He thrashes quite a bit and talks aloud more than usual but it gives him better sleep. To me that's worth it, him getting actual rest and giving up a little mine for it.

Last night I could not get to sleep as hubby was very unsettled. He got himself up at around 2 am and then I got to go to sleep.

I have a feeling it will be the same again tonight.

I was exhausted last night, but could not get to sleep at all. Then this morning I slept till gone 11 am.

Not slept that late for months.

I think that I am taking over his nightmares. I had the most terrible what I thought was reality this morning about 1am. I felt like someone was laying on top of me, I couldn't move or breath. Someone was whispering in what could have very well been arabic in my left then my right ear for about what felt like about 10 minutes. It was terrifying. I ended up waking up my poor sleeping vet to make sure I was just dreaming.

I went to bed with a bad head last night, but managed to sleep well all night.

I feel fine this morning ready to face the world.

:unsure:Who needs sleep? My nerve was causing pain again (luckily not as bad as the weeks before) but 3 hours fast asleep, awake since midnight:cautious:

 

[amethist]

We all need sleep. Whether we can get it or not is another story.

:notworthy:sorry amethist, it was ment ironic

 

[amethist]

What a horrendous night.

Fist I could not get to sleep as I was annoyed at what I have had done to my hair, my own fault, but hopefully getting it fixed this morning.

I got up and sat down stairs reading when hubby had a nightmare about his past. He was yelling the house down at somebody, so loud I could hear him downstairs.

I rushed up to wake him and he was in a right lather over it.

So after sitting downstairs with him for about 2 hours I finally go to sleep around 4 am.

We both exhausted this morning but will be fine if we both rest today.
