Well unfortunately I can't relate to the stressful dreams. I mean I have had them in my life, but it's rare.

But I figure I was sleeping maybe 2-3 hours a night. I finally said something to my doctor and I did a sleep study in May. Of course I have sleep apnea. I got a CPAP machine and it took two weeks to get used to. Long story longer, all seemed fine for a while. Then in July the depression got really, really bad. Suddenly I had major insomnia. Sleep maybe an hour a night.

I had to break down and get some Klonopin but it only lets me sleep 3-4 hours. So I'm tired all day. I don't have the option to stay in bed. I'm a full time student taking 18 hours in my final semester at the age of 36. I literally cannot afford to fail. So I just have to keep going to the doctors and hoping I can make it to December.

I wish I could offer help. Best of luck.
