Just started day 6...

Yesterday was so hard! I was so close last night to popping to the shop...managed to not give in and just went to bed instead.

For the last few nights I have found it really hard to get to sleep. After hours of trying, I sleep for a while then wake up - wide awake...eventually drift off again, only to be woken shortly after by the alarm. Is this common? Anyone have any suggestions? :confused: Being tired and quitting is not a good mix :(

Here's to day 6 - I hope it's easier than yesterday!!!!!!!

Hey DM

It's not everybody's bag but if you can get out and do some exercise, especially in the first few days.

Just a short run or swim.

It'll be the last thing you feel like, until you're actually doing it!! And then, boy will you sleep :D
