Day 4 no drinks. This insomnia is brutal. I'm having a hard time functioning at work during the day. Not to mention the night time anxiety...

Yes...it will pass. For me it took a few weeks to start getting back into somewhat of a normal sleep rhythm. You are still most likely in the acute witdhrawal phase...your body is still dealing with the physical shock of having no alcohol. Things should start improving soon.

That sucks, Sherlock! About a week or so for me and I started sleeping much better. As far as getting into the rhythm of going to sleep and waking at up the same time daily, like Scott said, took a few weeks.

The first 3 nights were always the worst for me. Hopefully you'll be over the hump soon.

It took years of drinking to get here, so it's going to take more than a few days for the body to adjust.

The body can't heal all those years overnight!!

Hang in there, as it will get better!!

You'll sleep again Sherlock. My sleep always got progressively better over the first week
