I'm sleeping through the night most nights now, but it took two months to get there. I still have nightmares sometimes, but when I don't have nightmares, I just have weird dreams. My dreams used to always be fun or cool or at least interesting, but now they just don't make sense. People will morph into someone else halfway through the dream, we'll be lost somewhere, we'll be playing in a field but I'll know that it's not really a field, it's a boat... Just weird stuff.

Since my last loss I haven't been sleeping good. I keep waking up and once I wake up I can't stop thinking.

 I've actually been on sleeping meds for the last month and a half. My doctor said it wasn't healthy that I was not sleeping or getting enough rest due to my depression/anxiety.

I have had no problems sleeping, but I didn't have any anxiety or overwhelming grief either. I know, I'm the oddball. I should change my forum name to weirdo.

Sleep? Is that what were supposed to be doing while it's dark outside? I never knew...
I have had sleep issues for years. Most of my facebook posts are in the middle of the night!

I am sorry you are all not sleeping well either. I think my issue is not sleep itself it is getting there. I have been staying up until 2am-4am and getting up at noon. Today I had to force myself to get up earlier because it is a work day.
I love to sleep and don't understand this. After all, I only knew I was pregnant for 4 days, come on now.

The first week of my loss I was just super tired and sad and just wanted to be in bed. After a couple days I felt "normal" again and especially after my D&C I felt normal. After having my 2nd D&C on Friday I have felt awful. The way I found out I needed a second one (losing so much blood I literally thought I was dying) was so stressful that I am EXHUASTED now. My body ran on adrenaline on Friday for probably 4 hours straight and by the time I was prepped for my d&c I just layed there motionless I had no energy at all. Yesterday was bad I just wanted to cry and sleep all day. Today is a little better, I slept in a bit but i'm still exhausted and will fully take advantage of naptime today!

My issue is getting my mind to shut off. After a loss, it's the what if's, during TTC it's the anxiety over am I or am I not?
I think I have just given up on really sleeping well, because I know once I get my sticky bean, although I'll be exhausted, the anxiety will wake me up a million times early on, then getting kicked in my sleep or not being able to get comfortable will at the end.
