OH MY GOD! What a night of sleep!
Last night was the first real sleep in 7 days after 5 nights of drunken "sleep" and then 2 nights of the sweats and trying to sleep (ya'll know how that is) I slept from 1 a.m last night till 12:30 p.m. today.
The folks at my meeting last night were encourageing me to come to a mens meeting this morning at 9. I was honest and told them about the last 7 days and that I would probably/hopefully not be up at 9 a.m. today.
They smiled and said "we know what thats like".
Told them I would see them tonight at 8 for the speakers meeting.

Congrats on the sleep. Ever since my psych tweaked my meds and got me on the right mix and amount, my sleep has been amazing. What a help a good night's sleep does for recovery! I wish you many more restful nights.
Yep since stopping drinking a 100 days ago ( yeh I know, keep mentioning it ) sleep is
Probably the best it's ever been in all my life. Plus if I don't sleep or have afew bad nights it's really easy to handle if your sober .

Think its different for everyone, but me myself I have had chronic sleep issues all my life, but they dramatically improved once I removed Alcohell. ride it out, your bodys not used to it, takes time..you will get there I promise
At about 2 weeks my sleep stabilized. Drinking Sleepy Time Tea and getting lost in a great book were life savers for me, as well as a nature sound machine that I find really relaxing. My sleep normalization is a big motivator in me maintining my sobriety. I like my zzzzz's!
Nonblondchef - Sleepytime Extra is da bomb! It really helps me!
Bonnie1 - i have horrible insomnia and had to be prescribed medication by my psychiatrist (no Ambien or other hallucinagins as i have a history of abusing them) and that's done me a world of good. You may want to look into getting help. Also, valarian root extract is a herbal remedy that helps (it's in Sleepytime Extra tea by Celestial Seasonings) and melatonin can help with sleep. Good luck.
