Hi MC, well I'm on day 18 and can't honestly say that I've been all that tired. Giving up smoking is obviously very stressful though and I suppose it depends on how you react to stress, it could be that that's making you tired. On the other hand smoking is a stimulant so maybe now you've stopped you're at your normal levels of relaxation and perhaps you used to use cigarettes to keep yourself awake past your getting sleepy levels, I know I did. All I can say is I do seem to be getting up later and later because I can so I suppose if I had to be up very early every day I would probably be going to bed earlier than I used to if you see what I mean. Hope this helps and well done for getting to 12 days.

A big welcome to this lovely quit site, there is loads of help and advice on here and the people are so friendly as well
There is also Emjay & Jarvo who are our lovely quit support advisers, and am sure one of them will be in touch shortly
may I ask you if your using any NRT at all ?? i ask this cos am using champix to help me quit, and am on 3 weeks now and feeling very tired, but that is a side affect of taking champix
Hope to speak soon, Pete
Hi mc
I was constantly tired for the best part of 3weeks
But after 8weeks I am starting to get a bit more life back
