I often awake between two and three a m. Previously I would smoke a cigarette and go back to sleep. Now I am looking for another distraction that will relax me and keep me on point.
@mz2wonderful70 Smoking disrupts sleep, so I wonder if that's why you were waking up to begin with? Reasons for not sleeping are complicated. I always wake up and I quit 6 years ago,
When the weather was nice I would go out on the deck some nights to have a smoke. To be honest, I don't remember doing anything for the cravings at night when I woke up. Have you tried doing some deep breathing exercises and there are mediation videos on YouTube that might distract you.
Hello @mz2wonderful70! If the problem persist, definitely reach out and ask your physician. Your body is getting use to not having the nicotine, so hang in there!
