An auto is very nearly an essential cost nowadays, however there is little sense in spending more than you have to, and you can spare a huge amount of cash on the off chance that you search for your utilized auto credit first and afterward decide the auto that you need to purchase. <a href="https://www.aaa1autotitleloans.com/chicago" rel="nofollow">https://www.aaa1autotitleloans.com/chicago</a>Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13572273321788874514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-75080373117864117852012-10-04T02:31:52.333-07:002012-10-04T02:31:52.333-07:00Although my experience with (decades of) nightmare...Although my experience with (decades of) nightmares----i.e., more specifically, night terrors----is from a different cause than yours, Tashi, one thing that has helped to significantly lessen their frequency............ (and it sure took me a long time to "connect" this!!)............ is for me (to really try) not going to bed on an empty stomach, which is sometimes hard to do, particularly if I'm (situationally) upset; and then just don't feel like eating. <br /><br />I have a lifelong tendency, anyway, toward hypoglycemia, (i.e., low blood sugar); and if you're "a day person," sleeping from, say, 10:00 p.m. - 6:00 a.m., your blood sugar; blood pressure; heart rate; respiratory rate; metabolic rate; etc., are all at their 24-hour-biorhythm-*LOWEST*............ at about 4:00 a.m. <br /><br />(This, by the way, is often a "prime time" of the day when very ill patients pass away in the Hospital, because their body's Vital Signs are, of course, affected by their illness/illnesses............ then you add Mother Nature's normal, 24-hour cyclical biorhythm effect on TOP of alterations in their Vital Signs from their illness/illnesses............ so this is why, at 4:00 a.m., many families are then subsequently at Hospital bedsides, providing Final Love And Comfort to their dear loved ones). <br /><br />You know, Tashi, how being really-really-REALLY hungry when you're awake can certainly ~ p.s.y.c.h.o.p.h.y.s.i.o.l.o.g.i.c.a.l.l.y. ~ "do a number," big-time, on your objective cognition and your emotions, which............ during the night while you're trying to sleep............ often translates to nightmares. To prevent my blood sugar from "dipping" even LOWER at 4:00 a.m. ............ (or, if you're a "night person," 2-3 hours before whenever-it-is that you wake up!!)............ for me, eating something with PROTEIN, (e.g., peanut butter; cheese; yoghurt; etc.)............ then ALSO drinking something that (actual temperature-wise!!) "warms my stomach," too, (i.e., that's genuinely S.T.E.A.M.Y. hot, like herbal tea; decaffeinated coffee; hot apple cider; hot chocolate; etc.)............ well, those TWO pre-bedtime things have helped - through the years - to really "cut down on" my night terrors. <br /><br />'Not a cure-all, at all, for losing The Love Of Your Life in Wash............ (and I'm honestly almost ashamed, Tashi, about how overly-simplistic this little hint seems!!)............ yet all I can say is that it *has helped ME*............ and my sincere wish is that perhaps this little hint *might help YOU*, too, to again find your sleeptime............ to be............ genuinely *r.e.s.t.f.u.l.*, you know. <br /><br /><br />{(*hugs*)}............

I have been without my love for 19 months (in 6 days) and I still don't have good solid sleep. I'm awake at 3am and I'm reading your blog. Sleep is a very special thing I'm not gifted with often.

I won't ever mean to comment with an "I know how you feel" because I know I don't, I know that anything I've experienced can't compare - it's just me trying to relate to that tiny fraction of your experience that I can.<br /><br />love, just love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904858990740505588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062777672434332413.post-76549320116097589122012-10-03T15:10:40.389-07:002012-10-03T15:10:40.389-07:00Oh man... those kind of nightmares.

For me they stopped after a few months.<br /><br />I still remember that horrible scary/sad/creepy feeling. I felt like my "blood turned cold," to see someone that I loved/missed, acting weird... not friendly and smiling..... all the while knowing they are gone. Then I'd wake up so scared I couldn't cry. Ugh, sorry to hear this is happening to you.
