my last use (black tar heroin) was monday afternoon its now friday night, i think im through the worst of the physical withdrawals. im just wondering if there is any tricks to getting to sleep. i havent slept since sunday night. im so exhausted but everytime i lay down to go to sleep, that oh so familiar restless legs comes back. then i get up and it goes away. i just want to fucking sleep, at least 4 hours or SOMETHING!!! any suggestions?? alcohol maybe??

also i am really worried about relapsing. i still want to use really bad but im forcing myself not to. If i still cant sleep for a few more days im afriad ill break down and use so i can get some fucking sleep. what do you guys do to keep clean??
 
Have you tried or are you willing to try benzo's?

Hang in there man! I can't stand the fucking RLS, I didn't have access to anything but weed, vitamins and melatonin. If you're into it at all, weed seemed to help me. Melatonin as well, but a lot of people will disagree with me... Just avoid taking diphenhydramine, it made the restlessness a lot worse for me.

Don't relapse!!!!!!!!! Then all your work so far is in vein, and you'll have to start over from square one.

You should be able to sleep in a few days if its already been since sunday. I don't know how bad you feel but maybe some light exercise, just walk around or whatever.
 
i never used benzos while WDing, but found there was absolutely no cure for RLS which always was my strongest symptom and first to appear, except smoking weed.

that was the only cure and it worked well. also get out of bed and walk around a little - this works about half of the time.
