But i cant
I am not sure why.have I got the medication wrong again,or do I have too much on my mind?
I think it is probably the latter rather than the former.
I shouldn't have so much on my mind  - but i do.I'm forgetting things - important things that i shouldn't be,and its scaring me a little.
I went to bed well after midnight last night.Ended up tossing for a while,dropped off to sleep,only to wake up from one of the worst nightmares i have had for a while.The images were  so vivid in my head - so bad it woke me up - and that doesn't normally happen.Funny thing was when I woke up,I couldn't remember any of it.I didn't even try.But I remembered a face - a horrid face.I thought about maybe trying to draw it.That was at  2am,not a good idea.
I have been awake ever since.Too scared to sleep.In case I  see it again.Its 11 30 pm now,and i got work tomorrow.I should be sleeping by now.
But I cant - I don't know why.
....help.

    Sorry this is happening to you cuppa.  An ugly nightmare can really get one on edge.  Here's my favorite home remedy for sleeplessness.  Try a glass of warm lemonade sweetened with about a tablespoon of honey.  The honey seems to have a sleep inducing affect.  Good dreams for you is my wish.

    I am sorry too. In France I saw something awful and I would wake up each night remembering it. It has faithed and   I think I got help. I told a few people about it and I wrote about it here. I wish I could help  you. Maybe prayers will help you.

    I am sorry to hear your are having this trouble too cuppa.  Not getting enough sleep is rough.  I have no solution for you either or any advice.  Maybe its a combination of both.  I will wish you sweet dreams for the next time you close your eyes ~

    i have also heard that a glass of milk and a banana can sooth your soul and lull you into sleep. I hope you are feeling better. Mamie

    Hot chocolate with 2 cookies. No nightmares - just plain good sleep. OR alternatively
    Clear conscience - best sleeping pill.

    Botoni - thank you for the remedy.........i ended up sleeping in the lounge on the sofa in front of the tv,watching a very old black and white movie.I cant even remember the name of it.
    However, it is now around 11pm,and i am not in the least bit sleepy,so i may give your remedy a try.
    Skald - I would like to write about it here,but the problem is some of it is so vivd and other parts a re a real blur.So until I can piece it together.I may just hold on to it a little longer.
    Most of my past ones have involved Jo in some way,but with this one.I am not so sure.
    Scipio - Hot chocolate sounds like a good idea,I think I have a clear conscience,but some times i am not so sure.I mean.I havent done anything i should feel guilt for - besides the obvious
    Wish - Thank you SO much.....i appreciate that
    Quietone - Thank you for your thoughts
    Mamie - Thanks.Milk is good,But i dont care for bananas too much.
