sleep

i am seem to be having poor sleep again lately itll take me agaes to switch off.
i think it is the cocaine that has done it to me as i used to be able to sleep like a log and now im forever having trouble sleeping and if i do get to sleep straight away i wake up loads during the night and have the most in depth dreams. is it the coke? anyone else experience this?

i wonder if it will go away in time, im over three weeks clean now, i would have thought my sleep would have got better but hey, maybe there is something i can take but i find nytol and all those sleep tablets are useless.

if any one has any ideas i would very much appreciate it. i have to get to work now so speak to you all a bit later.

xx
