Hi Jodie

You're doing great on 26 days and off the inhalor for 8 days as well

Disturbed sleep is normal for us quitters caused by more oxygen in the blood and therefore the brain, but it doesn't last long

Love

Marg xxxxxxxxxx

I gave up on no smoking day aswell so I thought it was our 27th day today:confused:

Anyway well done you to have ditched the inhaltor. I've been having very poor nights sleep aswell and posted about that other day. I was told that cos nicotines a stimulant i should try taking the patches off a couple of hours before bed. I'm still wasking every hour which is tough when you got to be up bright and breezy with 2 kids 5 and 18 months.

Just probably body getting used to being free from all the crap we've been inhaling for years on end. Last time I quit I was so ill, I got tonsilitis and blocked lymph nodes whch made me very dizzy. Thankfully I've felt good this time round except for a sore throat, sleepless nights and increase in appetite!

I feel sooo much better not smoking though, skin clearer, teeth whiter and getting about loads better without feeling like my chests on fire.

Have to look into the insomnia thing see how I can get a better nights sleep yawn!!

Keep it up u doing great!

Hi, bible black recommends some non addictive sleeping tablets. I will hunt around and see if I can find the name for you. I used my husbands snore cure! I had found that I had spent so long waking it became a habit. His snore cure was a pot of marjoram and one of lavender. Stopped his snoring and cured my sleeping! Once I had gotten a couple of good nights under my belt I was ok. Its rubbish though. I agree.

It does get easier. I didnt use remedies. I stopped eating and drinking caffeine after 8.00pm and just drank water. This did help and reduce the amount of times I was waking (remember to go to the toilet before turning in!!!!). I am in Month 2 now and the waking problem has gone, I do wake earlier but I think this is because I am having better quality sleep.
