Hello everyone.
I just wanted to ask if anyone else here has problems due to sleep because of DID and PTSD? My DID and PTSD causes me to be very restless during sleep. Problem is not falling a sleep, but being very active during sleep. I might talk hours and hours, and my alters are very active. I have also singed during nights. I might also see traumatic flashbacks and dreams wich is not so nice. Guy in my neighbour screams at me nearly every night to shut up and I usually wake up to this realizing that I have spoken/screamed during my sleep. So if any of you know ways to make these nighttime problems easier please share. |

Dear Samsamp,
I am so very, very sorry that this is happening to you. Since I have no experience in this, I hope others here will be able to share helpful ideas. It is awful that you are having to go through this! Sincerely yours, -- Yao Wen |

I'm sorry I don't have any specific suggestions to offer you. However here's a link to DocJohn's article, from PC's archives, on the subject of sleep disorders. It provides links to a number of additional articles on the subject:
Sleep Disorders & Insomnia Guide | Psych Central __________________ "I may be older but I am not wise / I'm still a child's grown-up disguise / and I never can tell you what you want to know / You will find out as you go." (from: "A Nightengale's Lullaby" - Julie Last) |

Hey,
Due to Complex-PTSD I too have trouble with nightmares, falling asleep, and staying asleep! Our subconscious is left to go free whilst we sleep, and so if there are any emotions or troubles from childhood (or whenever) which haven't been processed you will likely keep having these nightmares. I would suggest seeing a Relational Therapist, they will help you truly uncover your troubles and emotions from the past, and therefore have a healthier life now and onwards (including sleep!) |
