Sobriety, trauma and nightmares = no sleep

The past few weeks I have been stuck between either having night terrors or nightmare-ish sleep paralysis. Usually I can't remember what the dreams were about but I can remember certain parts? Feelings? A lot of them have to do with being alone, running from something. If it's sleep paralysis, it's almost always the same, I'm stuck in bed and there's something moving just out of sight, or it screams in my face and I wake up yelling. It's embarrassing- I'm a grown ass woman but I pissed the bed last week because I was terrified.

Looping back to the problem. I'm fucking scared to sleep now. I fight it, and even when I do sleep it's almost daylight (5-7am) or with the lights on. I've had a few panic attacks from laying there with my eyes closed.

I have extensive childhood trauma, SA trauma and other. I'm diagnosed autistic, severe depression, and agoraphobic (this hasn't been a problem for years but I feel it's relevant.) I am 6 months sober from alcohol (take that addiction!) Before that though I've only ever had like a month or so of sobriety at a time. I started drinking at about 13, 15/16 is when it started to get heavy. So 10 years or heavy drinking.

And I am wondering if maybe the nightmares are connected to being sober? I'm in quite intensive therapy (mon-friday 2 ish hours a day) which is wonderful but it brings up a lot of things I didn't want to remember but needed to.

Anyway, I would really appreciate any input or advice, maybe similar experiences and how you dealt with it? (I am talking to a therapist but I'm going on 55 hours or so of not sleeping and my next session isn't until next Thursday
