Well, I'm heading in my 4th day of sobriety. So far everyday I've had unpleasant vivid dreams. Stress dreams. I've been waking at this time continuously. This time I awoke with a mild headache. I hope this goes away!
Hope you're feeling better, Mishneal.
Right now I'm exactly where you were at a few weeks ago. Waking up to day 5. Each night has been wild dreams and night sweats. And I had to have slept odd last night because I ache from the top of my head to the bottom of my shoulders. Grr.

Jeez, I had to look. I thought I had made this post. I had the weirdest, most vivid nightmare I've ever ha a few nights ago...day 4. Woke at 2:30 (close enough) bathed in sweat. They should come film that for those classy vodka commercials.

I thought I'd come back to this thread with a positive update. I'm two weeks sober now and the past two nights I've slept great! Especially last night, I got 7 1/2 hours of deep restful sleep with no booze or pills or anything.
I'm 104 days right now and the nightmares are almost gone but the sleepless nights continue. I may only get two or three good nights sleep a week. Both of my group leaders tell me/us it could take up to a year before the new normal/new you settles in. For me, it's still better than being a drunk!
I can relate to insomnia posts made here.....this going to sleep at 10pm and waking up at 1, 2am is annoying and mostly due to anxiety. Still, it honestly boils down to my having drinks to sleep.
