Insomnia

Recovery

Thanks - genetics might be a factor. My dad was a boxer in his younger years. My key is to get a 3-5 mile hike in daily, limit sugar and red meat. If I saw weight gain as a side effect that would be a red flag :triangular_flag_on_post:. I can’t answer if it’s the drug or behavior, that would be a good question for the “experts”.

See a doctor and find a recovery sleep aid to help you. Trust a medical professional more than a blog.

Thanks for that tip. I posted this inquiry mostly out of curiosity & desire to be part of a ‘community’. Not seeing advice on here.

I was prescribed trazodone last year but use melatonin a few nights a month. If I’m true ky restless I call a friend.

Insomnia will last a couple of weeks but if you get up on time and go to bed on time every day your body will go back to its circadian rhythm try to do meditations when you go to sleep that helped me a lot put your earphones in they have cool ones on YouTube that are 3-D check those out they helped me a lot

I'm 2 days, And I haven't Slept either night. My whole body feels like a truck hit it. I know in the past it took me a good 30 days before I started sleeping normally

I remember my sleep improving at about 5 months sober. Remember we used things to relax and fall asleep. YouTube has some really good sleep meditations that work really good

I went about a month of great sleep and some new events in my life has me struggling a bit with my emotional sobriety. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I pray and thank God for holding me close. When it's morning I ask God to help me stay sober today and thank him for the struggle because today will be easier than yesterday and tomorrow will be easier than today.
