The War on Sleep Terrorism (A Personal Experience)

Night terrors/sleep paralysis and nightmares are a bitch. Just last night I was so exhausted that I decided to crash at like... 1:30-2:00 am. I don't remember much, but the only parts of my dreams I remember were something about having to feed poison to animals, running from murderers and being kidnapped (per usual). But this time I swear I was jolted awake from screaming in my sleep. Amber says she didn't hear anything, and mom nor dad came out so I guess it was either quiet or everyone was sleeping heavily. Or I was still dreaming. Either way, for the next little while I'll be sleeping with the computer screen on...again. I was doing so well in the dark too until that. I don't know if it was the sugar intake before bed, or just the stress from the week but either way, I'm tired of being scared to sleep.

If anyone has advice or something please let me know.
