Sleeping and Making NIghtmares Go Away
We are having trouble with sleep.

Usually we just wait until we are so incredibly, physically exhausted that the minute we lay down we fall asleep. But we also think that only sleeping a few hours a night is causing other problems. So we started trying to go to sleep earlier, but now THAT is hard.

We exercise plenty through the week. We try to limit caffeine, alcohol, eating late. Do breathing and yoga at night, journal, turn off electronics and white lights early, read something easy. But laying in bed and waiting to sleep is hard. And the nightmares are worse now that we aren't so physically exhuasted, which means we actually sleep through the night much less. I want to just go back to the old strategy of not sleeping but I'm also wondering if there is something else that I am missing to try?

How do you all deal with nightmares and not sleeping well?
