Hello! I have complex PTSD as well as anxiety and depression. Therapy has helped me tremendously. The one thing that hasn't improved is my sleep. Every night I wake up between 3 and 3:30am... when I was 4 years old my father was in a drunken rage and tried to kill our family and after quite a fight he was shot and killed. I was awake during this and he was shot at 3:20am... my theory is that my body is remembering and waking me up. I have gotten used to this and usually go right back to sleep. I am recently married and my husband tells me that I cry and moan in my sleep, curl up into a ball and whimper, squeeze and twist his hand, punch him, etc...
I have no sense of having a dream when I wake and no memory of being active in my sleep.
Does anyone else have sleep disturbances like this? Should I have a sleep study done? It troubles me that I am interrupting my husbands sleep with my sleep problems.
