For me stuff started getting back to normal at day 9. Or at least much better. The early days 1 - 8 were nasty bad for insomnia and awful nightmares for the brief periods in which I did sleep after the first 36 hours. Like you, I don't want to upset anyone but they were 100 times worse than anything I've ever had. Also had what I perceived as auditory hallucinations in that half-asleep state. Like someone was right next to me yelling in my ear when I did drop off. It gets better fast.
