I hear you loud and clear. I had a horrible night's sleep last night. I have a cold so I don't know if that counts. But my sleep hasn't been great this past week. And as for doing things, well other than go to work(part time), I throw the dishes in the dishwasher, make the meals, except for last night(it seems I slept through that!). My whole schedule is out of whack. If I feel down, I lay on the loveseat(with the fan on, because I'm hot too), watch tv, and pamper myself a bit. After all, this is hard enough without added pressure. I think that is why my previous quits haven't lasted. I was forever telling myself, "get on with in", "I should be doing this or that". So I would start up again, and yes, my house would be tidier, but was I any happier, NO way. so now I'm trying to enlist help from my family. This time round, I come first. So don't be too hard on yourself, Pink. What you are experiencing is normal. Be good to yourself. You deserve it!

Hi Pinktexas, I know where you're coming from, the first couple weeks I had a hard time sleeping too. Give it a few more days and if you still can't sleep it might be time to see a doctor. Good luck and good night [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/12/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,042 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $145.04 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 3

Pinktexas, it's normal to feel down when you quit smoking, you see you are giving up a habit that you had for so many years, so you're in mourning. Take care of yourself, protect your quit, you come first, after a while it gets better ride with it. You have already done 8 days wow that's great and I'm sure you feel better than you did on day one or 2 you see it's getting betteer already. Chin up you can do it. :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 97 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,461 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $388 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

PinkTexas, it does get better, I hope you get a good night sleep, lack of sleep does not help with emotions. Take care :)Marie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 99 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,499 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $396 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 24 [B]Seconds:[/B] 36

May not be the most conventional and recommended sleep aid....But I find a nice little toddy right before bed a great help. I never really drank before, but hubby makes me a Jack and coke and I go nite-nite. I don't do that everynight, just whenever I find it hard to GO to sleep. Once I am asleep, I am fine!

I'm raising my hand! Pink: I can't remember which member it was that bought the book, but if you continue to have trouble sleeping, borrow it---War and Peace.

pinktexas ... I went through the same thing when I first quit. I use Melatonin, like Healer recommended. Worked great and no OTC sleep aid hangover the next day.
