sleepissue

When I was a child, I've always had troubles falling asleep. Because my mind was fully awake, when very young, but then mostly because of stuff I was deadly afraid of. When I managed to, I had very vivid nightmares and used to wake up a lot during the night, having troubles falling asleep again.

Each time I got in bed, I started trying not to fall asleep, because bad things would have occured if I wasn't there awake and aware, in order to acknowledge anything that was happening in the house.

I now fall asleep more easily, but I remember having only one nice dream; each night I have at least one nightmare, usually up to many more.

The nightmares are generally about threats or issues I should escape safe from or disturbing stuff in general. They're very long and articulated, implying plots and including a lot of details.

When I wake up, if my attention isn't suddenly drawn to something else, the dreams usually follow me during the day and it takes a big part of it for them and their effects to vanish away.

If there's anyone interested in sharing some thoughts about this, I'd be happy to.

It can be very stressful and I haven't slept well in ages. I'd like to find a key to understand this or simply tips to try and see if they could help me.

Anyone who can relate?

I have a question about sleep, I sleep between 10 to 12 hours in order to wake up and feel good. I used to be depressed but I think I'm over it the length of sleep is still long but I don't feel bad after waking up. And my doctor said some people just need so much sleep, anyone can relate?

I’ve learned that having anxiety and depression could keep you up all night. Medication does indeed help switch up my mood and allows me to sleep. But what sucks is that, knowing you’re on these meds but you still get up in the middle of the night.

Does any one of you go thru these? #EatingDisorders #Anxiety #Depression #sleepissue
