Sleeping worse than not sleeping.

I've shared my sleeping problems here before.

Today or should I say tonight, I woke up at 3am, totally exhausted from trying to fall asleep.  In fact I was sleeping, but I was having a nightmare that I was awake and trying to sleep 

Now it's 4am and I'm afraid to sleep.

  • That is awful. I have very vivid nightmares. When I wake up it takes a while for me to realise that what happened was just a dream. Sometimes the impact of what I dreamt lingers on - like the time I dreamt that I tried to strangle my bullying boss. It was difficult seeing her at work the next day because I felt like I had grabbed her by the neck!

    Do hope you have a restful day today and sleep much better tonight.

    We have had snow here in NE England this morning - any sign of it where you are?

  • No snow here, yet.

    Last night's nightmare was strange.  I had the theme song from the 70s romantic comedy series, ''No, honestly " going through my head and I was trying to find the DVD.  I was certain that I had the whole series dvd.  Only after I woke up and maybe twenty minutes later I realised that I've never owned that dvd.
