Understand what your going through. Only 16 days sober and still waking in the middle of the night like clock work at 1 and 3 am. But I have been doing this for over a year. Took the sleeping pills doc gave but they didn't help me much. They helped me get to sleep but not stay asleep. Being terrified of becoming addicted to pills all my life, kinda funny coming from an alcoholic, I tossed them.

There is a natural supplement my doc approved called melatonin, it's an alternative to controled sleeping aides, but like the above mentioned, you should check with your doctor.

I am simply going to be patient and hopefully my sobriety, combined with exercise which I haven't done in eons, will present itself to a good ole nights sleep.

At least I don't wake up grasping for water and wondering how hungover I am going to be for the day!
