I have PTSD. I can keep contious control of it during the day, but at night i can't. i am vary restless, and i move around a lot. Does anyone have any good suggestions about how i can deal with this?
Mate i have PTSD too. I find grounding excercises when dreams happen and if needed doing a new activity to calm me down helps. I also medite using the Headspace app daily and do yoga 1-2 times aday. I also try to do a relaxing yoga before bed. I have recently included napping which is helping me greatly. I hope my experiance provides ideas for you.
Have you talked to your doctor about this? S/he might be able to give you something that will help you sleep at night. If you'd rather go the drug-free route, perhaps some aromatherapy before bed. (I bought a mix that I put on my wrists, chest, and temples before sleep.) There are also a lot of guided meditation apps that might help you relax. Or maybe you could do a few yoga stretches to help you relax.
It's horrible I know, and lack of sleep makes it harder to manage during the day too. I muddle through with my structured bedtime routine of bath, meditation / relaxation, and hope for as much sleep as possible.
