Every time I sleep I have nightmares.

From ptsd to anxiety, my mental illnesses create nightmares every night which makes me not want to sleep.

I don't know it'll help you or not but I deal with my nightmares by always going to sleep with something loud enough on. I used to use music but now I usually put on a playlist on my computer of Bob's Burgers episodes. For some reason, that drastically reduces the chance of me having a nightmare.

Yep ... getting any therapy for your ptsd ? The nightmares are no fun

@TexChik yep my own mother encouraged it when I was still in her custody aged 2-9.

I know that fear i only sleep when I'm exhausted i used to use meth not for the buzz but because i could go days without sleeping. I don't call them nightmares because they are memories not dreams,and they linger for hours after i wake up i feel like it just happened.

I have nightmares any time I have inflammation problems such as asthma and heartburn. When I get those under control I don’t have nightmares (even when I am having stressful periods of life). I believe that inflammation can also affect the brain.

@cherokeepatti That is possible. Mine is induced by stress.

@strawbz Stress can cause inflammation. I wish you could see a naturopath to help you with that. If my insurance would pay for one that’s who I’d visit instead of MDs.
Dang I'm really sorry. If you are ever up at night and need someone to talk to let me know.
You should watch something nice or read a good story book before you sleep.
