I'm on day 8 now and I'm very proud of every second that I've managed to stay quit - I look forward to a lifetime of not being dependent on nicotine. I started by dropping my one pack a day of american spirits habit and switching over to an e-cig.. I weened myself down on that over the course of 5 weeks and then gave up the e-cig and am now entirely nicotine free.
I didnt really have any serious sleep issues while I was using the e-cig. But since I quit entirely, I have been waking up 5-6 times a night, typically about 30-45 mins after I first fall asleep and then every 1-2 hours after. Its exhausting, Im always tired and I absolutely cannot wait until things normalize.
How was YOUR sleep when you stopped using nicotine? I'd love to hear about it

Ugh sleep disturbance and lack of sleep can be torture. I take 450 mg Magnesium Citrate (mineral) and 20 mg Amitryptilline (prescription) before bed so I’m doing okay. But Champix caused me issues with sleep so I only stayed on it for 6 weeks thereabouts.
Others on this site said quitting smokes caused insomnia and sleep disturbance. Enuf sleep is a major necessity for my work so I take something. It’s a personal decision. Make sure to talk to your doc.
