Sleeping can be scary!

Last night I woke up around 3:30 am extremely disturbed. I was shaking and frantically looked around almost knowing that I was going to see something that didn’t belong. My breathing was fast and my heart was racing. I wanted so badly to pick up the phone and make a call knowing that I could be calmed. However I knew that the world was asleep. It took me a long while to get back to sleep because every time I closed my eyes the nightmares would start again. Oh how I longed to have someone else next to me so that I would feel safe.
