Hey everyone, The weather here in TN is ugly. I am 10 days clean today. I feel pretty good. No luck with the sleep, but I am trying to be patient. Man If I could just get 4 hours of sleep I would feel like a new man. Well I have to be going I hope all of you guys have a great day and happy holidays..

Yea!!!! 10 days!!! congratulations!!!
I love TN--youre so lucky to live there.
The sleep deprivation reminds me of having a baby. I remember saying, "if i could just get 4 hours of sleep i would feel like a new person"--- you reminded me of that!! Have a great day!!!

Hi Travis.....
Your almost where you we last time. Great job. Maybe sit and watch a boring movie and close your eyes. I rememeber I did that once and fell asleep for 10 minutes. I was so happy that I even did that so I know what you mean.

10 days is great!! congrats, dont get too worked up over sleep deprevation. it will return to normal. it is all just part of the process. try some meletonin or sleepy time tea, warm milk, a hot relaxing bath with lavender oil. even if you cant sleep just lay in bed anyway and try to rest. try meditation as well and talk to god if your a believer. soon you will be sleeping like a baby. keep at it. your over the toughest part.

Good for you!!! Keep up the good work...Love S
Thanks for the support. It means everything. I do feel pretty good today. Sleep is the worst part of the w/ds. Many people just focus on the first 3 or 4 days because of the physical pain, but for me its the sleep.

Travis,
Hang in there, the sleep will come believe it or not. I believe for me it came about day ten or 11. I know it sounds awfully long but when it came, it was the sleep of angels.
I always thought; one more oxycontin or one more oxycodone will help because of the pain in my head/hip/ etc. But the truth is, the natural sleep was something I'd missed entirely. You will be amazed.
A hint that may help you is to take a warm bath and burn a lavendar candle before bed. Sounds new agey but is so peaceful.
You're not alone.

You guys are great, really. Your support has made so much of a difference. Just knowing that I can come here when things are going bad and have someone to talk to means alot. Thanks.

Sleep came day 18 for me. Man i was soo upset over the insomnia. Im sure it will come back but im sleeping better. I just pray every night and then go to bed. Try tylenol pm tonight. It did work for me day 10. I woke up groggy but its a trade off.
