    For your info this is not my first reboot. I had a 7months streak prior to this but had never felt this kind of withdrawals. ( PMO less than 10 times within a year).

    Im on day 35 of my reboot and i cant sleep. I will be sleeping at 10pm waking up at 12am just to sleep again 6am. I couldn't stop my racing heart and my started to feel physical movement in my brain which is not painful just annoying. While im writing this my head started aching fml.

    I can deal with other withdrawals no problem but not INSOMNIA. If i dont sleep well, everything turns ugly.

    Most people workout, feel tired and sleep better. Not in my case, if i used up my energy im more susceptible to relapse. Im eating well and just sufficient. No caffeine or sugar.

    Any idea what can i do to improve my sleep? Have been dealing with this for weeks now.
     
  2. I'm just throwing this out there: but has anything else been going on in your life that may be an underlying cause? Something that is contributing to making your withdrawal symptoms much worse? Other health issues? Relationship issues? Family issues? Work issues? Financial issues? Life decisions? Maybe the insomnia, headache and racing heart are the result of another kind of stress in your life that's being magnified by the additional stress of your reboot. Best to you, take care.

    Addiction takes a huge shit on sleep patterns. Flatline too. Hold on and be as patient as you can.

    You made a point there. I think its most likely due to the stress from unemployment. I quit my job right before the pandemic till now. And now im stuck in dilemma on whether to find a job from different sector or stick to the old one which is kinda messed up.

    But these few days were much better for me. I meditate before i sleep. Works quite well till now.

    But during my early rebooting days with longer streaks, i felt nothing like this. Probably due to some other stressors i guess.
