Three strange days

This my third sober day! And I don't only mean three in a row, also probably the first three in six months. It's strange that so far I have zero cravings, and zero feelings of anxiety. All I feel so far is relief. Is that bizarre? How can it be after years of drinking 20+ bottles of wine every week that my body isn't rebelling?

The only problem is that I'm not getting as much sleep as I should; last night I slept 2 hours. I'm used to deciding what time I needed to be in bed by and adjusting my consumption accordingly. If it's getting late and I knew I needed to be out I'd toss down a couple sleeping pills. Now I have to rely on getting tired, but I have so much more energy.

Any good, non-drug methods of getting to sleep you folks can recommend? Eventually my body will settle in on the amount it needs but I'm used to being up really late (I generally get off work around midnite).
