Nowadays if I have a poor nights sleep I really feel it the next day. I had a lot of work stuff on my mind and I woke up at 4 and couldn’t get back to sleep.
A few years ago I would have drank whiskey until I passed out again. Like I did every night.
It’s so nice that this is the exception to the rule. I know I’ll sleep like a cat on a sunny windowsill tonight.
If you’re new to sobriety and your body hasn’t gone through the process of re-regulation, don’t give up. Take a melatonin or ask your doctor about trazodone. Healthy sleep will return.
