So since I feel like posting helps, update after second night. I am getting freaked out. I was not able to fall asleep for a while, woke up maybe 5 times, had a lot of dreams which was hard to tell if they were dreams or my thoughts. I have such a restless mind. Before going to bed, I was watching a light movie and almost falling asleep in my husband's side of the bed (we have huge bed because of my sleep issues). ANd once I got to mine and was ready to sleep, I was fully awake and restless. I hate this so much.. Hopefully, this is the full moon as well as not drinking. I will not give up but I feel like I need to prepare myself for long nights from now on. With wine it used to be - asleep withing seconds, walking up 1 time to pee like a zombie, again asleep in seconds and then morning came. Now the night is lasting forever... and since I had these issues before I started drinking, I am so scared that this is my destiny. I guess I have to keep telling myself that this kind of sleep is still better than 8 hours of calm sleep after wine.

I was never able to sleep at all for the first couple of nights - just lay there...so you're ahead of the curve there FlynAB..

things got progressively better for me tho - hope they will for you too
