I'm glad the appeal machine is helping with the sleep. I'm getting an average of 6hrs sleep at night. Not great. I stay up late working to catch up and then have meetings as early as 6am in the morning due to timezone differences. I'm an early riser but should be going to sleep earlier. By the time I'm done putting the kids to bed and spending some time with husband just watching some TV for 10min I then work for a couple of hours before going to bed. Most of the time husband stays up waiting for me to go to bed.
He has nightmares almost every night so that wakes me up as well. Does MrShaz twitch in his sleep? My husband does that a lot. He also wakes up at 4am every day and can't get back to sleep till 5.30am. He needs to be up by 7am to help with kids getting ready for school etc while I do meetings. He takes magnesium sleep tablets but they don't help keeping him asleep.
His therapist says it's his cptsd. I also read somewhere that the amygdala doesn't sleep and that 2am to 4am is the most common time it is at its most activity. The amydgala of people with cptsd is shaped differently as it has developed differently due to the trauma.
@Captain24 have the nightmares gotten better? I hope so. ❤️🩹
