Nightmares & insomnia

Robert124
over 5 years ago

I suffer from the dual evil of nightmares and insomnia and need help.

For example, today I woke at 4am from a nightmare and I cannot fall asleep (insomnia).  I am also afraid to go back to sleep because in the past I have had nightmares following nightmares when I fall asleep after a short break.

With inadequate sleep I get up tired.  With nightmarish sleep I get up tired.

I don't have sleeping tablets at home as a precaution.  Because in my recent past I've attempted suicide by overdosing with tablets.

So I sit in bed.  Either reading , worrying or on the internet.

Any Help or advice is much appreciated!

    My nightmares are back.

    Last night I almost got 8 hours sleep.  But it was in three parts.

    The nightmare I remember is speaking to one of my ex neighbors.  In reality she was a nasty piece of work and we mutually disliked each other and I tried to avoid her.  In the dream she was just as awful as I remembered her.
