Hey Rsj,
Before I got off of opiates, I could sleep all I wanted, anywhere I wanted, anytime I wanted. To use a term another member here coined, I was a "sleep whore" too!! I LOVED my sleep!! But, like you, I discovered that I could function at a very high level with very little sleep. I didn’t like the fact that I was only getting a few hours of sleep a night, but it didn’t seem to affect me negatively…..other than my crappy attitude about it.
Believe it or not, it gets better…..it takes for-effin’-ever, but it gets better. I easily sleep over 8 hours a night now. I honestly NEVER thought I would see 8 hours of sleep a night again once I quit opiates, but here I am!!
Keep being patient, you’re doing great.
