i guess you can't read in bed because it would disturb SO?
nightmares are hard... i hate that horrible feeling of being afraid to fall asleep. some relaxing and soothing feel good music on an i-pod can help soothe...
i'm very fortunate that i haven't really had trouble sleeping for a while now... i did have it pretty bad when coming off zotab, though... zopiclone, whatever. one of the things that helped me was thinking that the aim or the point of lying down was to relax. rather than to sleep. so instead of being all 'i'm still awake grr grr grrrrrrrrr' i'd try and breathe and relax my body... i pod helps a lot because of something to listen to... and i find musical tone to be catchy. i think you might, too :) hang in there. sleep deprivation is horrible. have you read "insomnia"?
