I was having trouble with night sweats before I quit and I chalked it pre menopausal symptoms. My doctor presecribed some medication that was supposed to help - it didn't. But, now after 100 days smoke free, I am not having the night sweats anymore. I think the body goes through a really big adjustment period, metabolically, when we quit. Give it some time. It will probably get better. If not...see your doctor.
It's a choice!

By taking the patch off just before bed, your dreams should be less vivid.
Make sure your slap it on first thing in the morning :)

Love,
Congrats on your 10 days! When you first quit or cut down, you may find it difficult to sleep as long as you used to. Two things can cause this are:
As a smoker your sleep may have been interrupted by constant coughing and/or difficulty breathing. When you stop smoking, your body gets healthier and the sleep you get is more restful. So if you wake up suddenly at 5:00 a.m., you may think you are a victim of insomnia. You're probably not! Your body has probably had all the sleep it needs.
Smoking drains your body's energy. When you quit smoking you regain this energy. You may need fewer hours of sleep.
How long will this last?
The first few weeks after quitting.
Tips to help:
Try making sure you have a regular sleeping schedule. If you wake up in the middle of the night do some light stretches, or read a book to help you get to sleep.
If you have a symptom that persists or seems worse than you expected, you should immediately consult a doctor. It�s possible that your smoking has been masking symptoms of some illness, and when you stop smoking the symptoms abruptly become noticeable.
Keep Strong,
Josie
