Day 10 - To Nap Or Not To Nap???

[Quietlylistening]

Okay I'm on day 10 - Congatulations to meeeee!  ONLY it has also been 10 nights of little to no sleep.  I know its to be expected AND I know I have to hang in there BUT...  I feel like I should be getting close to the point where I should be getting more than 1 1/2 - 2 hrs sleep per night and it ain't happening.  On days 2 - 5  I would come home from work and immediately fall asleep for a couple hours - figuring I would catch some zzz's whenever I could. But then I remembered "back in the days of yore/clean" if I slept during the day, I wouldn't sleep good at night. I've been trying to stay awake during the day, hoping to sleep better/longer at night. It's been futile. Should I go back to sleeping in the afternoon or try to persevere and stay awake.   SORRY for babbling - been doing that alot lately...

what do u do during the day?  staying busy helps alot..exercise helps alot too
there r otc things u can take for sleep///plus rx meds u can get from ur dr if sleep remains an issue for much longer....the health pages r full of great info...making a plan to make this Do-able..if half the battle..hope u r seeking the support u need....u gotta reach out and do everything u can do to make this possible if it is truly what u want...sadly, over 80% relapse before the 90 day mark...gets better but life long cleandom is hard to acheive..takes alot of work

keep hanging in there...educate urself on what u can do to put the odds in ur favor

congrats on 10 days..it is awesome to get 10 days!

Thanks for the reply. Did you just suddenly sleep thru the night or did 2 hours turn into 4 hours - then 6 then 7 ????

Hi and concrats on 10 days. I had the same problem at day ten and it seemed like around day 15 my sleep patterns got back to normal. I tried not to sleep during the day so I would
sleep better at night. Also I did take a sleep aid that helped, but stopped as soon as I got my first good night of sleep.Also it seemed like excercise helped.
Hang in there it will get better.
