I'm sorry you have a bad time at night.
Thank you for reading. I see you can relate to me. I had something like you go through happen to me last night. I woke up thinking that someone or some people were going to shoot my house up. Unfortunately, I had to drink some wine to go to sleep. I know its not good for you but I have no medical insurance and it keeps my anxiety down when stuff like that happens.
