A couple days ago I took a mini Security Guard course. For 3 nights now I have not been able to sleep properly before 5am. I fall asleep fine, but always wake up 3-4 minutes later. As you can imagine, this is HIGHLY frustrating. Everyone of these short kips takes me back to the same nightmare, as it slowly progresses through the night. I do not work night shift, and am not tired during the day,so i do not sleep through it. Is it possible that my body is in a mode that will not let it sleep?
or maybe i should just see a psychiatrist
Yes, I was sleeping fine before the course.
The nightmare changes every night, but remains the same one during that night. When I fall back asleep, I end up exactly where I was when I left off. So far the dreams have been working on a construction site that would never be completed, a never ending go-kart race, (I know this doesnt sound bad, but try putting up with it for 7 hours) and fighting in the trenches in WWI. I wake up when something drastic happens, ie get crushed by a crane, crash my kart or get shot. I can get out of bed, walk around, have a glass of water, but as soon as I fall asleep again, I get up from under the crane hook, get my kart out of the situation, or simply keep shooting. I cant remember which side I was on. Despite this I can manage the whole day without falling asleep. now for example, it is 9:04 am, and I have decided to get up, because I can not sleep any more. What can I do, I was on the verge of tears last night it was so frustrating....
