when will we sleep

I know this is different for everyone but I would like to hear some succes stories concerning sleep. When did your normal sleep pattern return?

 

Can’t wait to be sleeping a lot again lol!

Any day now 🤞🏻

I’m so happy for you!!

Oh no honey I’m being sarcastic x my sleep still isn’t normal and I’m 2 years out. But it’s a lot better than it was x

 

You will be fine x just take really good care of urself x

oops my bad I hope your sleep pattern returns soon. Nice to hear that things got better!

 

Thank you :-)

When will you sleep?  That's the million or maybe billion dollar question?  No one knows for sure, but Ashton says sleep returns for most in 6-12 months; some take less time, many take more time; around 18 to 24 months, or so?  It took me about 10 months to start to get about 4-5 hours most nights.  I was getting 6-8 hours most nights by 24 months off.  That doesn't mean sleep is bad and then one day it's good.  It's a all over the map until it starts to even out.  I'd read this post:  http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=235100.0  It will explain everything you ever wanted to know about Benzos and sleep rather than repeating it here.

 

Good luck!

I agree with the way. I started noticing a change around 12 months. Now, apart from the rough patches here and there I sleep 5-6 hrs a night on average. I’m still using melatonin and a tiny bit of unisom as a crutch but I’ll be off soon. My insomnia was super severe - I was 0-3 for most of the first year. So I may need longer than others  ❤️
