Sleep and dealing with death?

1.Does anyone else sleep better once the sun starts coming up? Does it have anything to do with CPTSD?

2.Does having CPTSD have anything to do with not dealing with death well? Or does it make any difference?

I have CPTSD and I sleep much better when it's light out. I know in my case they are related but do not know if everyone with CPTSD sleeps better during the day.

I don't deal with death. I acknowledge it happens, I'm sad then I move on and I forget it. It gets shoved into a little compartment and I try not to think about it. I do not know if the two are related.

That's interesting about the sleep. Thanks for responding back.

Honestly I've never thought about that. I know that I can sleep be it light, dark or a thunderstorm.. Saying that, I was conditioned to it years ago in the military.. I do find it easier to sleep in pitch black.

I've never had problems accepting that death is there, and it can't be stopped, so I don't worry myself about it!

I find it's easier to sleep when it's dark. Too many bad things had happened when it was light.

I honestly never dealt with death up close except once. That was one of my biggest flashbacks. I'm not sure how I will handle death now.

I definitely sleep better once the sun starts to come up. Napping during the day is also easier than sleeping at night. I think it's related to my specific traumas though...
I've never known how to deal with death. I know it happens, I expect it, but it doesn't make it easier to tolerate when someone or something close to me dies. I think it might have to do with attachment and a sense of safety. Generally, if the trauma happened when you were younger, and involved a primary attachment figure, I'm guessing it would be more of a challenge to babel death and dying.
As a culture though, Americans kinda suck at dealing with death. We either minimize it or fall apart from it...

I've had so much exposure to death you would think it wouldn't bother me. I talked with a Neuro doctor today and he was questioning me about Narcolepsy. I explained my feelings on not pursuing that and he understood. He said that could be genetic, and my dad's family was one of sleepers. Could sleep sitting or standing, they were not lazy but it would come over them so strongly they just had to sleep. The mind is an amazing thing.

The challenge with PTSD is the stress of "unpredictables", that is what stresses people the most. Even sleeping can be a problem in that sleeping at night can mean perhaps having bad dreams and for some reason it feels more comfortable sleeping during the day. Some people prefer being up at night because night can bring more sense of freedom. Some people can't wait until night because it means less stress, permission to relax.

As far as struggling to deal with death? That has most definitely been a challenge to human beings going all the way back. Human beings have always thrived better when they have developed ways to have predictibility in their lives. Experiencing trauma upsets our sense of daily predictiblity and our sense of safety and sense of personal control over our environments.

I do sleep better once the sun comes up. My current arrangements don't allow for much sleep during daylight though. I sometimes sleep with the light on in my room.

I think the relationship between death and ptsd varies with a persons experience. For me personally I do have issues with death.
