Tiredness brings Nightmares
As long as I can remember I would have bad dreams/nightmares pretty often. I kind of expect them after a while. But I have not had them in a while which I didn't think much of it. Well last night I woke up from a nightmare. I woke up with a gasp trying not to cry and come back to the now. My husband was still awake all he did was touch my shoulder and tell me I was ok. I heard him but I was still in the dream trying to protect my children from some man I knew for a fact was no good. Anyway I go back to sleep but when I got up late this morning I felt like crap. I know it was from the bad dream and from being so tired. I was calculating how many days I when with low hours of sleep I would say it was about four days of about 3 hours a sleep a night. I have determined that might lack of sleep led to my instability of my sleep led to my nightmare. I am tired but afraid to sleep because of my dream the night before. It is a cycle that I have lived all of my life. I will snuggle up to my husband tonight hoping the dreams will stay away.
