vandelay Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Why is my brain doing this to me?!? I was pretty ok when I went to sleep. Three hours later I'm sitting bolt upright in my bed...I've had a dream about her. I lay my head back down and random thoughts of her keep swooping in on my consciousness. Sexual, sweet, funny, whatever... Over and over. Uncontrollable. For HOURS. This has been going on for weeks. Its not fair!

I wouldn't sleep for days after the break up because of the nightmares I had. But you need your sleep still. After some time of NC and moving on with your life, the dreams will go away. And you'll be able to sleep like a baby again. Just takes time.

Its been 6 weeks for me sence I found out about "her" at first I didnt sleep either. But this last week Ive been sleeping alot better. I think your body just gets tired and strarts sleeping again. And guess what? the dreams? they do go away too I havent dreamed about him for a few days a least. Hang in there let time heal you, cause it will anyway....

blover Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 ha...i know what you are talking about. I am usually a very very sound sleeper. and i sleep like 9 hours easily given the chance. but these days, i have hardly gotten 5-6 hours of sleep and the moment i wake up (or the reason i wake up) is because of something related to my ex which somehow popped in my head and woke me up and made me sad....
SimonSerenade Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 It will be a phase that your going through, I had many dreams of me and her reconciling and being the happy family we were meant to be only to wake up and realise it was a dream, Crushing blows indeed, Now I only dream of her every now and then, Still hurts all the same but it'll get better in time.
J0N Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 This happened to me for two weeks or so after we split. I also had no appetite for a couple weeks either, I got really tired of waking up at 3:00am and staring at the ceiling until I had to "wake up" for work. Only to feel groggy and tired the whole day. This does suck but give it time and you will find yourself being able to sleep through the nights. Hang in there.
mgene15 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Yep, same happended to me . just like serenade said, It's a phase. But it does come back every now and then. Worst pain is when you wake up and realize it was all a dream.... man... but just be tough.. and no that we're in the same boat and continue to post on LS as it really helps.
Surfer203 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I experienced many sleepless nights at the start of our seperation. After a week or two, I slept however, I would not go to bed or wake up with out thinking about my wife for an hour or more some times. It was torture. Just laying there and thinking that she is laying with another man, or she is out dancing/partying in the city. Awful. Eventually those thought will subside,you will sleep again, you will eat again and things will slowly move forward.
tobydog Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 4am for me then I don't go back to sleep............. At least I am eating a bit again.... I just hope we will all get thro this pain.........x I am not sure I will.
Surfer203 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 You will get through this pain.. don't worry. Positive mind set - go!

In the end, you just have to let time and God (if you believe in God) and nature take it's course, as you will eventually get over it in due time. Trust me.
