Bad Insomnia

It's 2:00 in the morning where I live, and I just can't get to sleep. I've been trying, but failing. Detox is no fun for sure.

I fee like if the hiccups went away I might be able to fall asleep. No luck though.

Well, the good news is I think night one is done. It's been 24 hours so I'm saying yes.

Try listening to YouTube speaker recordings while you wait. Let them run if you fall asleep. You unconscious mind will still absorb.

Me too, Justin and company...

Not detox for me at this point, but sober insomnia. I'm listening to the sounds of rain drops on my window, and old songs.

The first night is always rough for sleep, but as you know it gets better from there.

Remember this Justin - really keep this night with you....
memories of nights like this, and how you feel, can be a great defense against relapse.

Justin,
Just for future reference, hiccups can be cured instantly by having a spoonful of peanut butter. Yes, it really works!

My RAH too is very focused on sleep. He is always worrying about it and it was a typical excuse for why he drank. But the irony is he is sleeping! I fall asleep but wake up almost every night. Some nights I can fall back asleep and others I am up an hour or more. My H is nearly always asleep! And now without drinking he does not snore as loudly or have that sleep apnea either so his sleep appears more natural and restful.

So I am a bit befuddled why it's all about sleep when he IS getting sleep. Anyway, I am on SR early fairly often in your time zone. So just know if you are up, you aren't the only one. Peace to you and yawns!
