I sleep face down, rear end up, with my rear end pre-Buttered and my nipples immersed in ranch dressing. Or on my left side alternating to right.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I had some sort of nightmare last week and woke up because I just straight up full arm punched the wall with my hand that already had a fractured middle finger bone

blinding, fiery agony is a real fun way to wake up, let me tell you

Hahaha I tried to headbutt somebody in my dream and hosed my neck up. I can't even remember the particulars

As a kid I'd put holes in the wall with my knees and elbows as I slept. I remember none of it but reading up I guess it's A Thing with kids sometimes.

I sometimes explode out of bed in a panic for no reason and smash my idiot head into something. I'm pretty sure this sometimes happens without a memory of it because I'll wake up with weird bruises or pains

You're probably having night terrors.

My most common recurring night terror is simply being obliterated in nuclear fire, just flash of white and the walls disintegrate around me moments before I go too, and a deafening horrible screeching roar that continues for a moment after I properly wake up. Always super sweaty and my heart going a mile a minute, too, sucks.

If it's caused by PTSD I've got about half a dozen things that it could stem from but who knows. It's always seemed like an actual repeated dream, rather than the sparse symptoms described in that wiki page. It happens about once every few weeks to couple months I think. Weird that it happens to a lot of folks.

STRIKE!
I try and sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees but I have to constantly switch between sides and back to fall asleep. I wake up a bunch each night :(

What keeps you from falling asleep? Body pain, overactive/repetitive thought?
