I was awake till 4 in the morning the first 5 nights, started taking those nightol thingy's as a temporary solution. I feel like my body is tired by my mind isn't, probably something to do with the nicotine not being about to stimulate my massive brain
Thing is, even when I was only getting 4-5 hours kip, I still didn't feel as tired as when I was getting 8 hours and smokin fags
well done on 9 days so far . And the fact youve been out with people to the pub tells me you have strong will power when required , youre doing great.
I also had trouble sleeping for a while, id say first 2 weeks i had very staggery sleep patterns and alot of times i woke up sweaty with mad dreams going on in my head. This all settled down and soon i was sleeping like a baby ( stupid expression as anyone with a wee one will know) .
your halfway through your 2nd week which means you have encountered all that stopping smoking can throw at you . Your normal sleeping pattern will return but everyone is different just stick with it,its not going to go on forever .
Sorry but it is comforting to know other people are suffering with sleep problems. I haven't been using NRT so I didn't think my sleep would be affected but since stopping, I have had trouble getting to sleep. I thought smoking was a stimulant which stopped you from sleeping but to me its NOT smoking that is keeping me awake!
I'm not worried cos I know it will pass and a couple of lost hours sleeping is miles better than being a smoker! In fact I feel much better in the morning now than when I did when I was smoking (and I'm only on day 5) despite the fact I've had a couple of hours less sleep!
