i have nightmares and wake up in a cold sweat. than i him afraid to go back to sleep. it takes me awahile to realize that i him not back in vietnam. lots of nights i stay awake afraid to go to sleep. the doctor has given me sleeping pills to take at night. i haven't been taking them. because when i do i wake up groggy. how many people have the same problem that i do not wanting to go back to sleep after a nightmare and afraid to go to bed because they might have nightmares and wake in a cold sweat with the bed all torn apart.

I have nightmares every night has to do with something that happen in my childhood. I wake either screaming or in a panic.

yes, I also can identify with the nightmares. I wake up in cold sweats, only I dream of the male who tried to kill me. can't say anymore, it might trigger it off again. don't always know where I am when I wake up. just have to keep fighting. the creep who hurt me isn't going to win.
