That's really tough. I have intense nightmares, but they're not nightly. Are there any particular strategies to use to comfort yourself after a nightmare? -Melissa, team member

I'm used to them, unfortunately, even though I hate them, they're scary, and they make me sleep poorly. I e tried a nightmare prescription. It made them scarier, more vivid, and more frequent. I just live with them.

I don’t have nightmares or dream, I don’t sleep.

Hi . I see you are new here. Welcome to the community! That must be very difficult. Have you talked with your doctor about your inability to sleep? If so, has your doctor recommended any treatments or therapies? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
