Sleeping

    Don't know if you would consider this a personal issue so mods, feel free to lock or move this if you need/want.

    I've never been a good sleeper - I have a tendency to talk in my sleep and have acted out of my dreams the odd time. I also never sleep a night through, often waking numerous times, only for a few seconds. I also have very mild nightmares every night, it's like I don't dream only 'nightmare'. Even if I'm only asleep for a few minutes (napping) I'll wake up with the uncomfortable feeling that I've had a nightmare.

    Over the last couple of weeks I've gotten a lot worse. I've woken up absolutely petrified but I didn't know why. I rang my boyf in tears, convinced I wasn't where I was meant to be and should be off do something really important. Vague I know, but that's exactly how I felt. Another night I woke up bawling, I felt a sadness like I'd only felt after a death. I was so upset I had to wake up my boyfriend because I couldn't sleep at all with the way I was feeling. I stay in his at the weekends and on the first night that I come back I always wake up in my room at least 2 or 3 threes with no idea where I am. It never happens in his house which is the unfamiliar one. Last night I woke up and couldn't breath. I was gasping for air and suddenly could breath again and fell back asleep.

    Strangely, this is not affecting my energy. I'm no more tired/energetic than usual but I'm starting to dread going to sleep because of these...'terrors', I guess you'd call them. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how I would stop it?

    hi op,
    im not sure if this is whats up but maybe it sounds something like night terrors? they are usually linked to children but can also happen to adults.
    hope this helps!

    Do you remember what you are dreaming about?
    Do you do drugs?
    Is there a loud sound (buzzing noise/Banging)?
    Are you conscious of feeling paralyzed before you "wake up"?

    Has anything very unpleasant/disturbing happened to you in your house? If it doesn't happen when you stay at your boyfriends, perhaps it's a subconscious reaction to something that happened in your house, expressed in your sleep.

    'No, there's no buzzing or loud sounds although that has happened on other occasions. It's just something I put down to my bad sleeping.

    Don't do drugs.

    Never feel paralyzed.

    Nothing bad has ever happened in the house, or really to me in general. Like nothing that would 'scar' me for life.'
