Hey Tony, first of all congrats bud. You have already gotten through the hardest part which was going through the withdrawel without giving in and taking something, you should be patting yourself on the back for that. As far as the sleep goes, yes that is very common. When I went to rehab I didnt get a good night sleep until about 4 days before I left. It will unfortunately take a while for your body to get used to falling asleep without anything. But it will get there. If not getting sleep starts effecting your daily life, you can try an all natural sleep aid, but make sure it is ALL NATURAL. Stay strong and I wish you the best.. You got this!!!
