One thing, to do, returning back to the OP, is to emotionally separate yourself from the illusion of what you felt was the love you felt for this man. Not falling back to sleep, tells me, that there is something inside of you that fears being without him. (not necessarily the abusive him, but the ideal of his good side)

How are things, going, right now?
