My Astronomy book gives me the times of sunrise and sunset in Hobart @Zoe7 - without looking I know that once the sun starts setting earlier the days start stretching out quickly - this is a good thing for you

I do remember in my past that sunset was a bad time for me - being alone with two children was so scary - I do forget but when I am reminded of those years when my then-h was away every second week working and I was burning out fast - not good - I do understand what you are saying

About your nightmares - I used to get them - a couple were recurring and while I was in a private clinic once I was asked to rewrite the endings and that did help - I have learned to recognise the two as dreams and wake myself up now and I have less trouble

I have strong medication for pain - I changed one of my tablets to a similar preparation for other reasons but I stopped having night-terrors - do you have these - I would wake up from a deep sleep and seems to spin out of it with a lot of noise - and feel terrible and not know what I was dreaming - are you having this kind of experience?

I do understand about dreams - sometimes I have an unpleasant dream - not so many nightmares - I can assure you that this will pass as you work though everything but that is not easy - I really do hear what you are saying

Do you remember your dreams and nightmares? - are they recurring? Do you know anything about dream analysis

That time of not knowing what is real and what is the dream - that is horrible - and yes - your anxiety feeds your stress and your stress feeds your anxiety - I understand this
