Welcome to EX, it is not unusual for people to have sleep issues when they first quit, some CAN'T sleep and some can't STOP sleeping. I can tell you that it gets better, stay close to the site, read everything you can about this addiction. Read Allen Carr's "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking", it has helped a lot of people here. I also suggest reading blogs and commenting...become a part of the community. There are a couple of really good blogs that you might find helpful, one is by YoungAtHeartFor Our New Years' Quitters (and community member...

OK, 12 hours smoke free - where are you now? This quitting thing changes hour by hour in the beginning. You still hanging on? If so, GREAT. Let s know. If not- re-group, think about the why. And let us know that too. We're on your team. Keep talking to us.
I'm still hanging on in there lol it's currently 2 days now since I've been smoke free... It was a struggle but has gotten easier as the day went by... I find my struggle in the morning and late evening so I just go take a walk or get on YouTube or I just come on this site but now since it's raining all week long I'll just have to put my mind and heart in it... I've came too far to turn back now and I will not allow myself to go back to old ways....
That's great! Build on that. Two days is hard and each day will get a little easier and easier. Your old ways are gone. You are adopting new ways and making yourself a better you.
