Today, I had a dream about sleeping, which is a dream I have frequently. I’m exhausted even when I sleep. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Tears for Fears
Today, I realized that not only do I dream about sleeping or passing out, but that those are the best ones. FML

Today, after 3 weeks of my new job, I'm already having work-related dreams. I'm having troubles differentiating between the 8 hour shifts in real life and the 8 hour shifts in my dream. I'm doubly exhausted. FML

Bad trip
Today, I had to accept that my anxiety affects me 24/7, even when while I'm sleeping. I genuinely can't remember the last time I had a pleasant dream after falling asleep. FML

Panic in the sheets of Luton…
Today, I had a dream in which I was having a panic attack. When I woke up, I was actually having a panic attack. Double the fun. FML

Dream baby dream
Today, as a lifelong insomnia sufferer, I was having an awful night. After tossing and turning in my bed for several hours, I decided to try sleeping on the couch. Not only did I finally fall asleep, I was having one of the best dreams of my life… Until my neighbor’s brat had a tantrum at 6 a.m. FML

Dream Baby, dream
Today, I had a dream in which I was eating vast quantities of pizza, cookies, and pastries. I became so anxious about all the calories that I woke up. Even in my dreams I'm self conscious about my diet. FML

I'm a realist
Today, I had a dream that I had to abandon my shopping at the checkout due to lack of funds. Even in my dreams I don’t have any money. FML

Today, my laziness reached an all-time high. I had a dream that I was at school and had spilled all the contents of my backpack onto the floor. I then purposely shook myself out of my sleep to avoid cleaning up the mess in my dream. FML

You’re astral projecting watching yourself sleep try leaving your bedroom next time

I've had that. a couple of techniques can help 1. If you have an alarm set to wake you, say in 6 hours, try telling yourself "six hours to sleep.. six hours to sleep.."over and over as you're falling asleep. it also helps to imagine a clock with the hands going round till the waking hour. somehow, knowing how long you have helps you get better mileage out of your sleep. 2. supposedly there are studies that say the brain goes through 90 minute cycles while we sleep and we wake up groggy if we get up mid cycle, so it's best to plan to sleep a multiple of an hour and a half. Personally I hate math before bed, but the few times I tried it seemed to help, even with just 4.5 hours of sleep.
