Trouble Sleeping In Recovery..

Hellow, all its me sorry to post again but I was just curious and never said anything but when i was sober for those 6 months and recently i started again, i have trouble sleeping, falling asleep and staying asleep it is so annoying!!!

i do not dare take anything tos cared, tryed teas, baths, oh just about everything.lol
I was just curious has anyone experienced this problem , if so what did u do and does it ever go away?? thanks for your time Jazzy..:)
Jasmine,
I think everyone experiences this trouble (with sleep) during recovery. I sure have. I feel like I'm a walking zombie:o) due to lack of sleep. They say it gets better as time passes. I hope it passes quickly!!!

Have a great day!

Love,
Marie
Thanks, i guess there is some light at the end of the tunnel, lol..:)
It makes me so mad that my husband falls asleep on a dime, ahhhh.(hehe!)
thanks hun, how r u doing today?? i am having a little anxiety , but i know that it will pass...
I'm doing OK - could be better after I received some "bad news" last night. But I'll get over that. We all need to focus more on recovery than other issues here. I'm glad things seem to be going your way these days. You stay focused and keep up the good work. May good things continue to come your way!!!

Love,
Marie
Hello Jasmine,

When I got off OxyContin I didnt sleep for like 10 days. I felt so wierd. So tired but still couldn't sleep.............

I refused to take any other addictive drug like atican, zanax, valium.

What I DID do was go to a health food store and bought "Sleepy Time Tea." One cup/bag didnt really do anything. But when I had 2 cups/2bags a night I slept very well. The only kinda downfall if any was that I was even a bit sleepy the next day still, but that eventually went away.

It worked wonders for me!
I swear i must respond to every post back, lol, tahnks kiwi rain thats a great idea i will try it and maria i am sorry to hear u got bad news i hope it gets better :) i am here 4-u if needed.ok... thanks friends, jazzy
That is part of it. I hated the insomnia. You are right on about not taking anything.
Hang in there. It probably won't be that bad this time because you weren't out that long.
I hope you have a beter day

Heya Jas,

It was just a thought. I mean its up to you right. But it helped me and I know how much it sucks not to sleep.

I truely hope you are doing well and having a amazing day today!

Every morning I make coffee and come to my computer to read everyones posts and updates. I do follow yours closely. So please continue to post and keep us updated.

We all care alot about you and your well being. Stay strong, keep your head up and try to smile :)

Bye for now girl.
Hey Jasmine I am fine thanks for asking hope you are hanging in for sleep try some benadryl.......don't do the OTC sleep aids same med as benadryl (anti-histamine) extremely higher price.
Hey LittleBeach I hope you are well today, also.......I would trade my girls for yours but alas mine don't know how to clean up after themselves either and they are teenagers. I found a trick to get them to help if you are interested let me know.
Take Care..........

Dear Jazzy.......

I know how you feel because I have been there too many times myself....I find myself not sleeping at night and when I am able to sleep it is time to go to work :)
What I did find is that exercise does help.......If you able to, try starting an exercise prrogram.......or some yoga an hour or two before it is time for you to go to sleep at night........Your body will need the rest post exercise and hopefully you will be able to relax/sleep.......Just a thought and I certainly hope you find an answer.....

God Bless............Rus
Thanks all of you, you all me so much to me!! {hugs}}}} to all, luv jasmine!
I agree with the Benadryl. I give it to my son everyday. When we started he got it ever 6 hours to help him relax then less and less. He was taking just 1 last week, but said he felt hangover. Maybe that will help.
Hi, i tryed Bendryl and it makes me feel spacey in the morning is all but it knocks me out that is for sure:).. also when i was in rehab detoxing they gave me trazadone to help me sleep, i felt so drunk on it, however it is non addicting & its safe , i can get some i have refills from a previous doc, one of many, haha and refill it so maybe i will do that , thanks for the feed back all, luv jasmine
Yep- Traz or Ben will work and are non-addicitive.
WEll, hello there Jaz, just thought i would drop a line real quick. I have to go to the eye doctor, i lost my glasses and im having horrible headaches. Anyway i just wantd to see how you were doing and say that im very happy you and your mom got back togeather. Thanksgiving always means more when you have family to eat and be togeather with.

Sorry i havent been writeing much, but i have been real buissy at work. The withdrawls dont seem so bad when i keep buissy.


Your friend,
