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.

  • I hugely sympathise with this. At the moment I keep waking up suddenly in the night feeling really anxious. I am not aware that I am having any dreams/nightmares but I assume I must be to wake up feeling like this. I also wake up feeling extremely hot, which is unusual for someone who permanently feels cold. The rest of the night is then awful and it doesn't set me up well for the next day.
