Night 3 but so… tired

I’m counting nights sober instead of days, lol, so tonight would be my night 3. But I’m so… exhausted feeling, is this normal? But then it’s taking me an hour or more to fall asleep at night, but that’s due to the change in routine, not drinking before bed… aside from time, what can help this?

Your hormone levels are going to take a while to become normal again. Things that helped me wind down, and still do, are a hot shower, melatonin and magnesium supplements, and journaling/reading.

Thank you, what about the fatigue during the day? It being a weekend, I am sitting here staring longingly at the bedroom, feeling like I could, and want to, just go back to bed and sleep all day. But then I wouldn’t sleep tonight…

I should probably do the opposite, right? Get up and moving around or at least do something mentally engaging?
