My answer was somewhat misleading. I never feel anxiety about the windows being open or the storms coming in. It's just the people around me that say they need to be closed. If I were alone, I would just leave them open, but I never seem to be. Actually, that's something I've never noticed before. Thanks for leading me down that train of thought.

I don't really know when things will calm down, and I don't see any chance of a strict sleep regiment in sight. I sleep in the living room, which is the computer room, which means that someone is almost always awake in there unless it's between the hours of 5AM and 10AM. So, aside from keeping a dream journal and trying to get some scarecrow of a standard sleep cycle back, I didn't really know what else I could do. Maybe I could try meditation, that's not a bad idea.

I noticed the WILD class. I don't want to join it until I have at least a reasonable level of dream recall, and the ability to easily move into that... trance-like state associated with self-hypnosis that you enter when going to bed without falling asleep. I'm so exhausted when I go to sleep, because of my weird sleeping habits, that it's hard to keep myself awake long enough.

I had a longer and more thorough reply typed out, but it vanished because I hit the reply to thread button after typing everything into the quick reply box. Oh well.
