Well, not arrested exactly.

I was sitting in the living room looking out the front window and the local po-po drove by the house with their lights on and I had a feeling of panic and anxiety. The cops went to the end of the street and turned around, I went outside and they pulled up behind my car. I had a feeling of impending doom, then I woke up.

Now as some as you might know I am on the verge of relapsing with crack. Do you think the deam has anything to do with this? Like if I do it I will get busted? Is it maybe a control and restraint issue? ]]> Insomnia/Nightmares SilentKiller http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/insomnia-nightmares/187693-i-had-dream-i-arrested.html http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/insomnia-nightmares/187348-insomnia-i-cant-get-no-sleep.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:53:19 GMT I have insomnia almost every night, until I get so exhausted from not sleeping more than 12 hours for 4 or 5 nights that I just pass out for 15 hours one night a week, then the cycle continues.

I have noticed that I CAN sleep enough, just never at night! And since I have to go to school and stuff I can't just sleep all day. But I really can't fall asleep before sunrise, no matter how tired I am.

My doctor thinks I have a melatonin deficiency and some sort of sleep cycle disorder, because I have been this way for years, it's just really ridiculously bad now. I have BPD and apparently that is also associated with melatonin deficiency, oddly enough.

What sleeping pill can I take that's non-addictive? My psychologist said if I take melatonin, I should also take something that "knocks me out." What would knock me out that isn't addictive?

Also, does melatonin really give nightmares? I already have nightmares every night/flashbacks from some trauma I experienced this summer and I don't wanna make it even worse!
