I welcome the warmth of sleep

I have been sleeping like absolute crap this entire week. I toss and turn all night and can never get comfortable. I can't sleep on my stomach because it kills my back. Sleeping on one side or the other will only last for a little bit because then my hips start to hurt. I can sleep on my back but then my unconscious thinks I'm vulnerable or something ridiculous. There is nothing in my environment that is keeping me from staying asleep. I'm warm, I'm dressed comfortably in my fabulous pj's, etc. I'm not eating weird or having heartburn. I just can't stay asleep.
Last night I was having a dream about my Dad's old house, the one he lived in right after my parents divorce. It ended up with me setting the place on fire and throwing grenades around in the attic. It was insanely disturbing and I work up screaming. I had another dream too but the only thing I remember about it was that it was scary. And I've been seeing things in my room as I'm falling asleep.
The only time I'm really able to get rest is through a nap during the day. It's really wearing on me that I can't get rested when I sleep.
That's all for now.

  1. Research your house history. Maybe there is something there that is giving you a weird vibe subconsciously.

  2. I've researched and researched since we bought the house. Not much interesting happened here. One funeral that I can find, but he didn't die here. Long story short, our house is boring.
    Last night's sleep was better, but not super great.
