> I also tend to suffer from stress illnesses that didn't bother me when I smoked. Each time I quit smoking, I got something else. Each time I started back up again, all those things went away. I keep thinking I should start smoking again, as I quit when I learned I was pregnant. I think insomnia waited until I was finished nursing to hit me as the smoke-free stress illness.
Ok, this is way out there, but what about giving a med that effects nicotinic receptors a trial? You can't smoke in your sleep, but perhaps you get a rebound withdrawal effect that reduces acetylcholine more drastically than normal when you smoked and you were in the middle of your sleep. Anyhow, here is a link about galantamine:

It is a new Alzheimer's drug. When I was smoking I was much more focused and calm.
