lol, it can get pretty lonely at 4am and you are allowed to rant.
Glad you got more sleep.  Sleep when you can.  
We can't fight it because it makes it worse.
You are doing great girl.

They say sleep is the last thing to fall into place, I know it's tough, on day 14 I am still not sleeping that great and I love my sleep. I am working off of 5 hours broken sleep and it's not easy but things could be worse. As everyone told me if your laying in bed and tossing n turning try to get up n read a book  or watch tv until u feel tired again then try going back to sleep. It will get better, I know I am not that far ahead of you but we have a lot of people with a lot more clean time tellin us it gets better :) Hang in there! You are doing great!

Ohhhh honey i wish i wasnt the first to answer this because you know how long i suffered with the sleep issue! Haha i know the sleep thing is sooooo tough but it does get better!  Now even though mine took alot longer, it finally came back semi normal. I sleep without any help, for a solid 6 hours a night! Now 3 months ago i would have been pissed at that but my body is perfectly rested and 6 is enough for me.

Just stay strong, ur doing great!! Congrats on day 11(right)!!
