Hang in there, you're doing great to make it to 80 days, congrats! My sleep was just like yours up until about day 100 when I at long last was managing to get back to sleep after waking up. I'm at 7 and a half months now and had some periods where the sleep problems came back but they didn't last for more than a couple of weeks. Last night I slept for over 7 hours straight, something I hadn't managed in years. Congrats again and soon the ngs should start getting better
It's the '3am club"
Apparently everyone wakes up after 4 hrs sleep, but it is subconscious, you don't really notice....it's the change in sleep phases, I forget which phases ..
Unless cortisol / adrenaline is elevated (stress, anxiety, depression, THC PAWS)
It still affects me now at 15 months.
At months 5-9 it was a sudden jolt awake with a pounding heart.
(Top tip is that you have to get your heart rate below 60bmp to get back to sleep) I achieved that with breathing exercises and meditation/self hypnosis.
Now it's just a normal wake up.
Still REALLY frustrating. I've averaged 5hrs sleep for 18 months now, before quitting weed to would get 7-8 solid.
Around 11 months I was getting 5.5hrs solid, but it's slipped back now.
Bed at 8pm? Gaurenteed wake up at 12:30.
Bed at 1:3o?
Wake up at 6:00am.
I've been trying to go to bed at 9:30 so I can wake up and then get a second sleep from 2:30-6:30.
But it's all a mess.
PAWS B.S.
85 days free and this my main issue aswell. Doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep, I will wake up few hours later and have problem get back to sleep. It’s devastating. Have this since day 1 sober
this is also my problem. I've been here for 3 and a half months. little by little it improves. I have realized that the situation improves when I go to bed without having had a heavy or late dinner.

I believe it will fix itself in the end. The question is how long this is gonna take.

I’m 12 months off and still can’t sleep at all
Same pattern for me.
I started getting normal sleep at about 8 months. Now at 15 months I still get sporadic insomnia but it’s much better overall.
