Lavender can help with sleep. What about a chamomile tea or if you like milky drinks then a warm milky drink apparently help. Rest well when you can Hellion.

I had a cup of chamomile tea earlier last night I try to drink that before going to bed when I remember to it seems to help a bit. And I don't really even have like horrid nightmares every night or anything like that just weird, overwhelming dreams that sometimes end up being related to traumatic stuff or bad things in the past. But yeah just got a little freaked out with the seeing stuff out of the corner of my eye, I actually was worried about being confronted by something evil that could try to be harmful..but I am not 12 its not like there's a demonic shadowy figure that is going to come just to scare the crap out of me in the dark but that is what i was more or less afraid of when I went out to smoke before I came in and posted this.
Makes sense some of that is related to hypervigalence though, I really do hate that its like I just want to relax and my mind is off trying to figure out what dangerous situation could arise right then and what to do.
