Sleep Deprivation in Early Recovery
Sleep Deprivation in Early Recovery
So here I am in day 16, thought I was doing pretty well, and because of some social commitments I found myself sleeping < 5 hours each of the last 2 nights. Whereas in day 14 I felt great, today feels more like a day# 2 or 3- extreme tremor, agitation, mood swings, inability to cope with other humans. has anyone else experienced this booze free for over two weeks? Is it the lack of sleep or my body reminding me it's still just early? Thoughts?

I think that you need to stabilize and stay on a good sleep, good food, schedule....your body doesn't heal instantly...you cannot withstand the extra *trauma* of getting overtired.
try to keep on a regular schedule for at least 6 nights a week and allow some unwind relaxation before bed....(i do crossword puzzles).

So it really was ONLY a lack of sleep x 2 nights which made me feel as if I was in my first 2 days sober. Tonite it's bedtime 9pm.....
