Day 4 well 3 and a half
The whole quitting thing is going well I think, the cravings aren't too bad the patches and the gum take the edge and the brain can take care of the rest.
However and its a big however, the lack of sleep is becoming a large problem.
At the moment I am not able to get to sleep until 4 or 5am and thats starting to take its toll after 3 days.
Did anyone else have this problem? Any answers out there would be great I would love to get some more sleep, oh and on that the dreams are very strange and realistic.

Hey Tom.
I had the same thing and really struggled for sleep for a 3-4 days after qutting. I got to a point where I was so tired and frustrated I considered smoking again just so I could get some sleep.
This should settle down shortly but I believe there are some natural remedies you can get from the chemist if you think you might need it.
Or else you can see your GP for something to help you sleep if are concerned.

MMMMMMMM...Just woke up from a nap...o ...so...tired...yep I can so relate to no sleep....have started taking St Johns Wort magnesium,vitamin c & fish oil.... for just over 1 week & have had the best nights sleeps lately now I think I am on catch up sleeptime....lol....you are doing well..go with the flow...One Day At A Time.
Sorry forgot to add. My dreams since quitting have gotten a whole lot more vivid than before and I have some really far out sort of ones. I wake up thinking wtf was that all about??? Aliens, talking chipmunks, flesh eating goldfish appearing in the bath, that sort of thing.
Also, I am still having the odd dream about smoking too. I wake up feeling guilty that I have had a smoke until I realise it was just a dream.
Quite normal I'm afraid:)
Hi Tom, I am the opposite, I am sleeping a lot better now that I am not smoking, strange I know. Are you taking your patch off at night, I have heard from some people that when they left it on they had bad nightmares and also had problems sleeping? Good luck, hang in there.
