Well I have had problems falling to sleep in the past year or so. But I was wondering if you had some sort of dream scary or not if that could effect your sleep? See last night I had this weird dream that there was a spider crawlling up my leg. I woke up at like 5 am and was to afraid to go back to sleep. I could have gotten another hour of sleep before I had to get up.

" Yes, I have had a dream so real I could barely move when I woke up. It was scary too. I was holding a gun trying to grab it from someone and it fell out of my hands and as it was dropping it was pointed toward me and as soon as the gun went off I woke up. I still had the ringing in my ears from the shot!! Talk about scary. "

" It is really hard to get back to sleep after a scary dream!! What I find easy for me is if I'm scared to sleep with the light on or get up and do something until maybe you feel a little calmer. "
