Well, it's officially the season of wedding nightmares. I'm not sure exactly when the not sleeping started...well, perhaps that's untrue. When we first got engaged, I stopped sleeping for a good four to five days. I just couldn't believe that I was ENGAGED, and I would pretend to sleep while trying to catch a glimpse of my ring in the moonlight. Then, I instantly became overwhelmed with the wedding details - place, time, dress - and then I would pretend to sleep while my mind was going a million miles per hour. I eventually calmed down, maybe mid-March (!), and began to sleep again. I thought to myself, phew! I am calm once again!
Not true. I have recently began having a series of wedding-related nightmares. I can't tell you exactly what they are about, but I wake up, petrified that I am already married, something terrible happened, and I barely remember anything. I remember that one time, I accidentally married my ex instead, and that he got drunk at the reception and acted terribly - and I was scared to death that this had, somehow, occurred when I awoke. Thankfully, just a dream. I've also been having a lot of random nightmares - I don't think they are wedding related, but I wonder if they started because I am getting a little stressed out?
Now that we're getting much closer to the wedding (The Knot says I only have 103 days!), I have started waking up in the middle of the night again. I'm not sure if it's the wedding, or our upcoming cross-country move to Bloomington, Indiana, but I am just having a tough time sleeping. Any suggestions for how to relax and get a good night of sleep? Besides Tylenol PM and/or Nyquill?
