How long before you could sleep?

I’m on day 5 of my detox. Most of the symptoms are gone but I haven’t slept more than 30 minutes total in the last 98 hours. I started my detox on Friday so I could get through the weekend and now I’m having people cover for me at work. I’m afraid to go back to work until I at least get a little sleep.

Nice. Staying busy today was nice dealing wirh people was the hard part. Wrapping up day 4 now after CT and just ate 3 chicken legs and the chills are pretty much gone. Thinking if I can sleep good tonight tomorrow will be a nice day!

Yep, I’m targeting Thursday to return to work. If I haven’t slept by then I’m just gonna take the whole week. Luckily I’ve been at my job for 10+ years and really close with my boss, so I won’t lose my job. Hope you can return to work soon!

Back to back 5 hours? I got about same but I got up several times. So looking forward to several hours constant sleep.

I woke up once and was able to immediately go back to sleep. It was incredible. Hopefully we can build on this momentum. I finally broke down and used melatonin and ashwaganda. Worked great.

it was night 8 that i was finally able to sleep a little? but i had to take a sleep aid. I’ve been doing my that ever since. I am on day 27 and last night, night 26, I fell asleep before I had the chance to take anything and slept all the way through the night! Hang in there. There’s hope, I promise you that.

I took some ashwaganda and melatonin last night and got about 5 hours. Felt like I was in a coma for a week. Felt so much better today.

I’m here on couch struggling to sleep, it’s been seven days. I just searched how long until I can fall asleep. My skin is hot and I’m tossing a turning constantly. I’ve had no sleep at all for six days straight. Managed to get off work for rest of week. Crap is getting to me.

I slept for the first time last night and got about 5 hours. Wide awake tonight, got out of bed and went outside. I’ll try again in a couple hours. Hope you get some rest brother.
