Insomniacs chat

Welcome fellow insomniacs.  It's 4am and I woke up at 1:30am from a regular nightmare.

I was dreaming that it was night and I was in the kitchen of my previous house checking that my windows and doors were secure.  I had checked my door several times, checked my windows, went back to the door and it was ajar.  I woke up in a PANIC.  And I can't sleep.

I don't ever have nightmares - my dreams are very complex and hyper real - recently, a lot have been about digging around in old dusty places - I can taste the dust and smell it in my nose.

My nightmares vary from short sharp one's, to very long and twisted one's that go on and on, where I'm travelling by bus/train or walking.  I then wake up, fall asleep, and it continues from a different time and or place.

I have type 1 diabetes and I've consistently noticed that my worst/most annoying nightmares have come from having low blood sugar.

The sugar level side of things may be not related in your case. But ... if the nightmares become a recurring annoying problem (ie consistently affecting your ability to get good sleep) the blood sugar is a possible lead to consider if you wish.

For now though, I wish you well in not being too run down by the end of this week.
