That could be the reason!

I'm sure that your sleep pattern will recover soon, and even if it does drag on a while try to treat it (and every other symptom) as a positive thing that you are healing.

The body is a wonderful thing, but as it flushes the poison out and corrects the damage there are bound to be signs that it is happening.... but it's a good thing.

Tomorrow is indeed another day - Onwards and upwards

That sounds pretty likely, but you are going to feel that way from time to time whatever the reason.

I found that morning craving, to be the one that lingered the most. Not every day but still it was the most likely to crop up. Now, however, its all but gone.

I still have the odd random urge to smoke, that crops up. At the moment I've got congested sinuses, and used to find that smoking cleared them so I've a bit of an urge as a result. But I'll get out the Vicks instead, of course.

All the best

Hang in there Ld13..our quit days are the same i think..so i need you to hang on in there with me!!!!!!

My sleep was rubbish last night too... partly due to the ciggies..also diue to the lumpy mattress that is about to get the boot...lol.

In any case...weve come too far to go back now... so stick at it with us all.

another morning awake at 5am!!!

this time i woke up feeling upset and angry from a really surreal dream i had that my husband had cheated on me with a woman from my work!!!!! OMG it was horrible!

took me about 10 minutes of being awake to convince myself he hadnt really done it and was in fact asleep next to me

Was it him creeping home and into bed that woke you up?

Only joking of course!

I too was awakened at 5am... but it was a 2 year old deciding he was awake and so everyone else should be that did that!! Oh the joys of parenthood

I am very confident that it is the extra oxygen going to your brain that is disturbing you sleep patterns - there is a great article on quitnet about it, that because you breath in so much co as a smoker you grow about 10-20% more red blood cells... then when you stop you actually end up with too many so effectively are overdosing on oxygen. It takes a while for your body to "kill off" the cells and return the level to normal. Once it does, your sleep pattern should return to normal.

i do hope it clears up soon!!

i dont think it was him returning to bed...hmmm maybe i should ask....

[nsd_user663_3708]

I woke up thinking I was still with my ex....it was awful...think I'll go back on 30 a day....lol....

Only kidding (obviously)..... sleep getting better...still fuzzy... not really craving, just sort of curious what one would do.... except I really know what it would do...reel me back in once again and get me addicted... just keep thinking if I had a cigarette it would cost me £40,000 and make me a slave once again.... at the moment I am free from slavery..if a tiny bit dopey (no ones noticed mind you so what does that say!!!!!????)
