Best Sleep Since Beginning Taper
Today has been a really good day! I got the best sleep I’ve had since before the beginning of my taper off benzos. I’ve felt really good, the sky was beautiful, and I spent the day with my family. What more could I ask for? Good sleep is the key to feeling good. You can do everything else right but if you can’t get good sleep, it’s just all shot.
I do worry that since I slept so well last night that I won’t tonight.That’s been the way it goes in recent weeks. Benzo withdrawal induced insomnia is no joke. It’s one of the reasons withdrawal is so difficult and taxing on the mind and body. I never fully realized how important sleep is until I started tapering off benzos and the insomnia hit. It’s an insomnia like no other I’ve ever experienced. But last night’s sleep was amazing and I have felt incredibly good today because of it.
It hits me at random times what I have accomplished. Getting off benzos. That is quite an accomplishment! I am fully aware that I’m not out of the woods for a while. It takes time for the brain and body to fully heal after over 20 years of heavy benzo prescription use and time to recover from the withdrawals. But I am free of benzos and I am proud of that! I hope I can help others who are going through the hell that is withdrawal. If you are going through it please leave some feedback, I’d love to hear from you!
