sleep.....

I am so sleepy all the time.
why do I want to sleep all the time? Just makes no sense. I thought it was only something that would pass but now I feel like it is a problem. I know I am sleeping wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much! Guess maybe I should call the dr and see if I can go to him and see if maybe there is something wrong that is causing me to sleep all the time. I have been awake all day but its only because I have forced myself to stay awake.
Urges have been light today and when I have one it goes fairly quick!
Well.......since I have been up all day I will go on to bed I will post more tomorrow.

One day at a time......

It might be worth talking to you doc about being so sleepy. That kind of thing can be so many things, whether part of quitting or the Chantix or not sleeping well at night or depression if that applies or about 750 others ;) I do hope you get a good night's sleep and feel more refreshed in the morning.

Great to hear that the urges were fairly light and didn't last long. Those kind of days are really awesome, and there are more coming your way. I'm so happy for you, Tabatha!

Good advice from Maggie there. I am also having sleep disturbances - I suspect mine are from the Chantix, but really, who knows. I know the nicotine is out of our systems by now, but I kind of expect my body and brain to be out of whack for awhile yet.

Hang in there Ms. Tabatha!

Consulting with your doctor is always the best option.

Sleep disturbances ARE connected with both quitting smoking and, it seems, with taking Chantix as well. I remember I slept for 16 hours several weeks ago. In my book, that's outrageous. And I wasn't even tired really.

I'm glad you're staying strong, though. Whatever you're experiencing is likely to pass, and you will not regret fighting it out!

Oh, I WISH I could sleep for 16 hours. :) I've done that a few times after getting home from traveling. It felt soooo luxurious. But I can see how it could feel disturbing, too!
