day 5
I woke up at 539 am an been up every since and I don't have to work. Yesterday I was up early also.. my body is tired but I can't go back to sleep. I hare to take sleeping pills but I desperately need to sleep. Overall I feel better..
Tonib,
1 sober hour of sleep is better than 12 drunken hours of sleep.
Rest easy knowing that.
I am a shift worker and my sleep schedule is jacked.
No meds here. I usually cycle between 5 to 7 hours a night.
My advice....I work hard to stay in bed for 8 hours and focus only on my breathing. No obsessive thoughts.

Yep, unfortunately insomnia can be a common problem during withdrawals. I'd be very careful with sleeping pills or any other meds, they can become addictive too. There's a lot of natural ways to help ease the insomnia, and it will eventually go away. Your body needs time to adjust after quitting.
Yes as others have pointed out sleep will return naturally but it takes times. The best way to do it is naturally so you don't get hooked on a new substance. When natural sleep returns it is awesome. Hang in there, it will return.
