Insomnia

[Thumblewort]

Hello everyone.
On April 5th of this year, I showed Skoal the door. It was 9 years of intimacy but, let's just say, it was getting toxic.
The first couple of days were a challenge but all that's fine.
The one lingering thing - and that's why I'm writing - is inefficient sleep.
Before I chewed and even during the period when I did chew, I slept like a baby. 8 - 9 hours of refreshing sleep.
Now, though I'm tired all the time and fall asleep the moment my head hits the pillow, I will wake up less than an hour later and continue to do so throughout the night. This began shortly after I quit.
My question is whether 7 months of this is unusual.
I've done a ton of tests with my doctor. He's ruled out everything else. We're both at wit's end.
From what I've read on this site and elsewhere, though, the withdrawal symptoms only last a few months.
Anyone else with a similar experience?
Thanks.

If you posted roll you might get some insight. It's the price of admission.
