I am pleased to say that I am on day 13 & still feeling good about my quit.
Tonight I am feeling a rather down but I blame lack of sleep for that. I feel so exhausted now. I have been lucky in this quit that I have hardly had any craves, don't think about smoking at all & can never envisage ever smoking again. Totally unlike the many, many quits before! I also have never suffered from sleep deprivation like this before. Given a choice I would rather be going through what I am this time to the craves etc so guess I will & can just push through it. Going to try & get something to help with sleep tomorrow before I keel over lol.
I have an interview for a job tomorrow that I really, really want so hope I can wake enough brain cells to perform well in it.

I always have a book on tape at bedtime. Concentrating on the story takes my mind off everything else, and I usually don't hear more than ten minutes, max. Doesn't work for everyone though.
Glad to hear you're doing well in other respects though!
I used a relaxation tape at night to help me with my sleeping but I am not sure whether it did anything. The last three night my sleeping has sorted itself out. Maybe something like nytol would help.

Im feeling the same way Gaynor, although my sleep has improved somewhat. Now I seem to just wake up every 3 hours or so and then go back to sleep ... which is a pain in the butt but better than it was! Well done you! Nice to see you still going strong! And Good Luck with the Job interview!
If you can lay your hands on some Kalms, try and take a couple, if you cant slep they ill atleast relax you enough to get some rest x
Hi PK, glad ur sleep has been better. Have never suffered this badly I have to say. Mind you, have not felt so good either so maybe I should count myself lucky. I have got some night nurse as I usually find that helps, if not will try Kalms or nytol. Hope you have had a great non smoking day xxx
Hiya Joan, good to hear you are cutting down on ur patches, just go at the rate is right for you as I am sure you will. Have sucked my lozenges for all they are worth today I have to say but better that than a smoke :eek:
My last smoke was on the evening of 1-1-11. Last night, I managed to sleep for almost seven hours. Up until last night, I have been averaging 4-5 hours sleep a night....I hope it gets better.
yay kev, good for you. I am not even sure i am sleeping or not now stupid as it sounds. I know I am not awake, awake like I was for the first week but just so, so tired when I get woken by the alrms (yes plural lol). Bought new pilllows yesterday which was much nicer. Think I kept waling up to go, ummmmmm this is nice :eek: No bloody hope really lol xxx
