I quit on May 12. Put the patch on the 11th before going to bed and started the 12 without smoking. So far, so good ...ñ except for the sleepiness. Lol, just like some of you mention, it is so hard staying awake, I am constantly tired and ready for a nap and to make it worse, I got a cold two days ago and that is making me even more sleepy. Does anyone know when the sleeping beauty thing will pass? I guess I should just be thankful thyat I am not having any cravings and the patches are doing their thing nicely... I only wish I was a little more alert!
