As the weather cools down, I tend to sleep more soundly. For the most part this is a good thing. However, there are some downsides. When I sleep more sound, it tends to mean I wake up less & move less often in my sleep.
That sounds like a good thing, but for me it isn't. After a night of really deep, uninterrupted sleep, I usually wake up stiff & remain so for the rest of the day. This often comes with an annoying headache. For me a little waking up & moving from time to time is a good thing when I sleep.
Even stranger are the dreams that I experience as the world grows colder & darker. They aren't nightmares or even really bad dreams. They are anxious, fractious & stressful. Like why are all of my bills not paid & I have no $? Why is there an alligator on my front porch when I live in Oklahoma? Why am I back in college & I've missed all my finals? Why am I in a house I lived in as a child with people I know now?
I'm a fairly aware dreamer. I know these are dreams, but they're still weird & stressful. I have them sometimes throughout the year, but they're worse during the Fall. I didn't do this as a kid or even a 20-something. For a lot of my 30's & past, I've been +, so I don't know if my HIV is making this matter worse or if it's just age. Possibly both. Either way, these dreams are annoying.
I like my sleep, but I don't like waking up stiff or stressed out. These things aren't good for me at all. Hopefully, they'll disappear with Autumn leaves & be gone soon.
Cya...
