Welcome to PC Sceptryc!

Sorry to hear you are having troubled sleep. Many people report side affects from sleeping medications. Your doctor could help you find a medication that does not have these side affects.

Dreams can also express our deepest fears and anxieties even if they are not based on outer situations that are happening. A therapist is another path to go to help find out more about ourselves.
