So I've made it 12 days, which is great but I'm still in the beginner stages. The shakes lasted a little over a week for me, which I never really got the shakes that bad before and if I did they never lasted that long. Anway, my question, to those that remember or are going through it, is did anyone experience long periods of sleeping in the beginning?

The last time I got sober I dealt with insomnia but now I'm sleeping 10 or more hours a night the past three nights. Last night I feel asleep at 5:30pm and slept until 6am. Granted I work two jobs and am quite busy so that might be a reason for my increased need of sleep.

I'm not asking for medical advice just wondering if anyone else dealt with a healing phase of needing more sleep than usual after the first week?

Thanks for the responses in advance.
