I went to my doctor and she said lack of sleep was common among problem drinkers when they got sober. She gave me tablets which I take each night before bed and I get at least 8 hours per night. Also getting used to going to bed when your not drunk can take getting used to. Have a bath relax go to bed and read and wind down. Most of all enjoy going to bed having had a sober day , pat yourself on the back and look forward to the next day sober. Have a great day 👍
