G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required).

NOPE!

Well, the body goes through a lot of changes as it deprograms itself from smoking. Nicotine may have left your system in three days, but the adventures continue for quite a while afterwards. Took me about a month and a half to poop normally, LOL. And don’t EVEN get me started on quitting and hot flashes… Mercy! It’s all a bit of a shakedown time, but things even out eventually. Take care in the meantime!

I remember my sleep being so messed up too for a while .. I was on the forum 24/7.. Thankfully it does go back to normal .. This too shall pass ..x

Hi @robin0212, yep its pretty common. I had it too. I just took an OTC sleep aid every few nights and it worked great at getting me back on my sleep schedule. Hang in there

Hi @DenaliBlues thank you for this! I hadn't thought of audio books so will give that a try. No NRT. If it persists I will see a doctor. Could be hormonal also (tmi?) And definitely need to remember no caffeine after like 10am! Good to know I'm not alone here . Sorry to here you deal with this also but sound like you've got a great tool bag!

Hi, Robin. Sleep disruptions suck! And they seem to be common when quitting - a lot of people have talked about them since I joined this forum. Just out of curiosity, are you using any NRT? As someone who has grappled with insomnia over many years, I wish there was a perfect solution that made me sleep like a baby. Sadly not. But there definitely are some things that improve the situation and keep me from tipping too far into the red zone: - Good sleep hygiene (regular bedtime routines, no screens right before bed, etc.) - No caffeine after noon (I became SUPER sensitive to caffeine after quitting smoking, learned the hard way) - Listening to somewhat boring audio books at night (to lull myself to sleep, to keep me from clawing my eyeballs out while awake, and to mask my tinnitus) - 1/2 an over the counter sleep aid (discussed with a doctor). Not melatonin, which - weirdly - gives me the zoomies. Sleep deprivation is a real health issue - physical and mental. So if your struggles persist, talk to a doctor. But don’t lose faith that it will get better. My insomnia definitely got worse for 5 or 6 weeks after I quit, but then sleep normalized again. Hang in there!

NOPE!

!!!!TWENTY !!!

*knock on all the wood* but I have had luck w sleeping since the beginning of my quit, but one thing that changed from not great sleep w smoking to good sleep without smoking was just making a conscious decision to close my mouth and nose breathe. If it doesn’t stay like that oh well, but just making a conscious decision to nose breathe. That and reading (although it’s on my iPad which is supposedly not great w screen time lol-like Denali mentioned). Good luck Robin wishing you an AC-filled relaxing New Jersey night of sleep

N.O.P.E.
