I had been home from Iraq for almost 10 years, plus I still had not slept a single night.
I would sleep for a couple of minutes plus wake up in cold sweats.
Seldom did I entirely remember the dreams, however when I did I wished I hadn’t. There were times I prayed that I could get a full night’s sleep, even though I was afraid that it would just be because I could not wake up for my dreams. I had been going to a psychologist for almost a year, when she suggested that I try medical marijuana. She told myself and others that medical marijuana had been doing wonders for people who had mental trauma. She told myself and others about the process I had to go through to receive medical marijuana plus ask if it was something I would be willing to try. She knew my fears of the dreams, she seemed quite positive that if I were to try medical marijuana, I may be able to get not just a full night’s sleep, however a full night of restful plus peaceful sleep. I didn’t entirely assume that was possible, even though I decided to deliver it a try. The first night I slept all night long, my spouse was in shock. There was no flailing of arms, plus she was trying to avoid being hit. There was no crying out in my sleep, plus there were no nightmares to wake myself and others up more than two or 4 times in the multiple minutes I tried to sleep. I don’t suppose who was happier: my spouse or myself that I had slept all night long. There are times when I have relapses however since using medical marijuana most afternoons I am sleeping all night long.
