Are you ever startled awake by imagining someone knocking on the wall or door?
It's been happening to me quite often the last couple years.
I thought maybe I was snoring loud enough to piss off the neighbors, but it has even happened since they moved out. Is my brain sensing something wrong and waking me up? |

I know how you feel. I was a Counter Intel Investigator in the Army and used to sleep with a gun under my pillow. Never had a problem - always slept like a baby.
Now? I'm a retired old man and I hear shit that goes "bump in the night" nearly every night. I have a pistol that I keep by the bed, and I have been known to grab it, go downstairs and check the locks. Never amounted to anything. It's weird, but I think (at least in my case) it's just a product of getting old(er).. |

Yeah I have sleep anxiety. I have fears of someone breaking into my house or forgetting to do a task that is extremely important and it keeps me from sleeping well throughout the night.
It’s weird bc I don’t have anxiety during the day (that I know of) and have no idea how to treat my sleep anxiety once I’ve fallen asleep.

No offense. But if you sleep with a gun under your pillow it does not sound like you are at peace. Worrying about stuff that is out of your control isn't good for your health or your mind. IMO.

Thanks for your insight. However, you didn't read the post very carefully. I was stationed in Berlin during the Cold War. I slept with a gun under my pillow due to my job at the time. After I retired that part of my existence went the way of the Iron Curtain. The gun I have near my bed now, is kept in a drawer NEXT to my bed. Not under the pillow. Additionally, I do not worry about stuff that is "out" of my control. A gun - being handy, in case of an emergency, takes the "worry" out of my mind. I am prepared for any eventuality that "may" or many not happen. I, unfortunately, had to take human life during Viet Nam. I have regretted it every day since then - that being said however, SHOULD the need ever arise - I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. I would have a problem, however, if something were to happen (God forbid) and I didn't have to means to "fight back". |

Most people (who weren't in the military during the Cold War) don't realize that there many "tense" moments back then. They rarely ever got reported back in the states. Espionage was at the highest it has ever been and people like me were kept EXTREMELY busy.... I (sort of) laugh about it now - but My Brother had joined the Marines in 1961 and a year later was the Cuban Missile Crisis. My Father (A Colonel) and my Brother used to laugh about the idea that we were actually about 60 seconds away from a Nuclear confrontation at that point - luckily, cool heads prevailed. |

Sounds like a crazy time to be living in Europe. My dad managed to get himself kidnapped by Baader-Meinhof/Red Army Faction when he was about 15. |

Your place is haunted. Call an exorcist or a witch doctor or something.

I have found that if you drink a case of beer before bedtime, nothing will wake you.
But, maybe that's just me |
