Re: Sleep disorders and ADD

I have a problem regarding sleep that I haven’t seen mentioned on the site: I often wake up from a dream absolutely soaking in sweat, and I DO mean soaking. My pajamas are wet, sweat runs down my legs when I get up immediately. These are not horror dreams that I have, either. They are just mild anxiety dreams, for instance it’s my first day on a new job and I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing, no one oriented me, etc. It’s usually a “teachers’ anxiety dream” –all teachers have them –you know: it’s the first day of school and at the last minute they change the grade you’re teaching, or you’re there but you haven’t prepared at all, etc.

Anyway, waking up drenched in sweat seems to be an overreaction to say the least. I can’t remember when this first started happening to me, but it’s been going on for a pretty long time. Needless to say, I don’t like it at all.
