Day 4. No pills. I really feel like I've gotten over the hump. I think the hard work is done! I did my usual evening stuff. Put the kids to bed and relaxed on the couch. I find myself over analyzing how I'm feeling still. I find I'm self assessing too early in the evening on if I feel tired or not and worrying that I'm not feeling tired at 9:00pm... I have to remind myself I never go to bed at 9:00pm so yeah, your not tired dummy.

It didn't take long to start feeling sleepy after winding down. I am still trying to stay up to at least 11:30 - 12:00am to make sure I'm tired and stay tired. I was struggling to stay awake so I packed it in at 11:30pm and went to bed. I really don't remember laying awake for long. I woke up at 1:30am and had to desperately go to the bathroom. I was wondering if this was withdrawal related until I remembered I I had salty popcorn before bed and it was probably the salt. Funny how you start second guessing everything.

I woke up before my alarm at 5:20am this morning and was very awake so it was time to get up. Slowly I've noticed I'm sleeping in a little at a time. I'm very alert and clear headed when I'm waking up so its not that bad.I feel that things are going in the right direction and my body is getting back to doing what it does.

On a side note. Today is the coldest day of the year hear. Its a balmy -34c and -43c with the windchill. Thats -29f and -45f for the U.S folks. brrrrrr!
