So i will just start here, mostly i get good nights sleep, however when i wake up in the morning i am still terribly tired.
almost like i hadn't slept at all.Most of the time i will lay back down in hopes of waking up in an hour or so. However i went back to bed around 3PM and didn't wake up till exactly 8PM. then there are days where i will have this sudden paranoid feeling like something is watching me sleep, this hasn't actually happened for a few years. And now ever since Past trauma was brought up it seems i am being thrown back into 'sleep troubles' simply what i am trying to get at is, could the past trauma affected me more than i thought? thanks for reading!  Take care ~ MissLabarinth

There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.

Sorry you are having trouble sleeping misslabarinth. The past trauma can be an issue or the meds may need to be adjusted - talk to your pdoc about that.
For me, paranoia diminishes as I am more grounded. Examples of activities that can ground me are counting breaths, mindfulness practice on a regular basis, passive stretching, yoga, exercise, and staying away from carbs like starches, sugar and alcohol. Finding ones that work for you is the art of living. Hope today is better for you. I find that doing passive stretching and yoga in the bed helps me feel good enough to practice breathing and mindfulness. When I finish that I am ready for breakfast. A high protein low carb diet has done wonders for my energy level but it can take an extended period for the cravings for high carb meals to subside. Need some good healthy recipes, pm me.

CANDC has already made some excellent suggestions, so I will only add a few more.
Make sure you stay away from caffeine or over stimulating TV shows close to bedtime, too. Make sure that the room is dark or only a small night light. No TV or radio on. If you have trouble sleeping with total silence use an app that provides white noise, which is just a constant noise to keep you from hearing sounds that might wake. And if you have trouble going to sleep the make apps that provide relaxation techniques. One I like is called Relax.
