Ugh

You know what type of nightmare I particularly dislike? One where it's a seemingly never-ending story of TRYING TO FALL ASLEEP and failing.

When I reached the point in the nightmare of being on the way to the office and crying because I was so tired, I WOKE MYSELF UP. Woke myself up, wiped my eyes and sniffled a bit, and then tried to go back to sleep.

To be clear: I had no problem falling asleep. I WAS asleep! I just had an ongoing nightmare that I couldn't sleep. Which, oh joy, causes the same sort of after-effects and symptoms as if I didn't sleep at all. I am not pleased.

So, yeah. Guess who's working from home today? I may beseech the Stroppy One to do an emergency cupcake run for me.

As a fellow insomniac I can sympathize with you. Yes, I also have had the "can't fall asleep" dream. Generally wake up feeling like I actually didn't sleep...feh!

That's insane!! I've never heard of anything like it. Sucks!
You're so lucky your office is so laid-back, though, to let you work from home all the time, especially when you haven't been working there that long! They really trust you, it's great!! :D:D

My team is fantastic. They really are one of the best groups I've worked with here at the Big Software Company.

That type of nightmare sucks. Well, ANY type of nightmare sucks, but that's one of the worst.

And cupcakes! Cupcakes make everything better!

I really hate these sorts of dreams. Or the dreams that are "just waking up, after oversleeping" on loop. Both me no rest at all.

you have my sympathies.

I had a dream very much like that whenI slept over at my friends house in the winter. It felt like my body was fast asleep, but my mind was raceing saying " Eeeek! I have to fall asleep!" That went on for around 6 hours. Yeesh.

I feel your pain. I have been randomly suffering form insomnia since I was . . . 4? Eeeep! 20 years!

Good call on the cupcakes!

I had the EXACT same thing happen a couple of nights ago. EVIL EVIL EVIL. And not the fun kind.

I can't stand dreams like that. Not only am I still tired but I could have been productive all those hours. If I'm going to be tired I want to have at least gotten some stuff done.

Yeah, I hate those types of dreams too. I actually have them regularly to be honest. I blame it on insomnia and the gerbils. (Just kidding about the gerbils.)
