I’m not sure if this is actually related to my birth control but I’ve been having some terrible sleep issues lately and it just dawned on me that I also just started a new BC after being off of it for several months.

For almost a week now, despite being exhausted, I’ve been restless/waking up constantly throughout the night but not completely awake - in that weird in-between state. Also have been having a lot of nightmares and dreams and remembering them more than usual. A few nights I’ve felt like I might’ve actually been acting out some of my dreams too but I’m really not sure.

It hasn’t been overwhelming until last night my cat woke me up around 2:30 and when I woke, my lamp was on. It was off when I went to sleep and no one else around to have turned it on. Vague feeling that I got freaked out and turned it on at some point but I don’t actually remember.

(Side note, my live-in BF is away for his job 2 weeks at a time and just got back home so we’ll see if tonight is any better with someone there...or if he notices me being weird!)

Anyone else suddenly start experiencing this?
