If it is was at night time when the rest of the world was sleeping I would likely watch TV or read. :smitten:

I had about 5 weeks of terrible insomnia.  The only option was, as benzos-R said, read or watch TV or do SOMETHING.  Lying in bed and having your mind turn circles over and over is not helpful.  Even without the benzos, such behavior is negative and habit forming and won't serve you well in recovery or life in general.  If you can't sleep, accept it and do something with the time.  Yes, it sucks, it is horrible.  I had to continue working while going through this and it was nasty even though I was a short term user and able to complete a rapid taper.  Anyway, you CAN do this!!!!
