When I sleep well, I dream like crazy. The dreams are so, so real and leave me disorientated for a good 5 minutes after I wake up. But even then, I drift in and out of sleep and in and out of the same dream, meaning I don't sleep more than 7 hours then!!

Anyone else have this problem? What do you do to help?
I've just learned to live with it. Not sure what the cause is. As a coping mechanism, I take naps, longer than I should probably. But I am compensating for lack of sleep, as I'm writing here I notice it's 10:17 pm and I have to get up for work at 4:30 am. I may or may not take a nap after work tomorrow, have a lot to do. BTW, between work and the commute the day is from 4:30 am-3:30 pm if I only work an 8 hour day. The 12 hour days are killer. Goodnight, sweet dreams!
