NWR: nightmares.........HELP (kinda long sorry)
I go through sleep patterns all the time. Each one lasts a couple of weeks. One pattern I'll sleep great whole night through, other times I'll consistently wake up at certain times through the night, and other times I have to go in between the couch and the bed throughout the night to sleep.
I know my sleeping habits can be stress related obviously, and I have a herniated disc that flared up recently and that's been giving me addition trouble.
But recently I'm in a 'funk' of a sleeping pattern where I'm having horrendous nightmares every night. They've been getting progressively worse over the past two weeks and last night I had a dream that a childhood friend passed away and I woke up at 1am hyperventilating because I was so upset. I burst into tears and couldn't stop crying. FH is dead to the world when he sleeps and was so confused as to what was going on last night so I went to the couch and tried to but something happy on tv to calm down. I fell asleep again only to return to the same dream.
I've had nightmares before this 'funk' of a sleep pattern but never like this before. I've never woken up in hysterics like that. Anyone have any explanations for me or suggestions on how to stop my nightmares?????????????
