I'm so sorry kendall, up at 3am and you seemed to be quite desperate to talk to someone. Those early hours are awful, when everyone else is sound asleep and you can't get any rest!
VirginiaTam, my sympathies about the nightmares. I have those from time to time (not on any meds) and the fear stays with you for ages. I'm sometimes scared to go back to sleep in case I have the same experience. However, sleep comes very easily to me, nightmares or not. I sleep like a log all night and an hour in the afternoon as well. Rip Van Winkle had nothing on me!
