Sure can. : Hey Arthur. The withdrawal from quitting smoking can make one anxious, sleepless and jittery for a little while. That being said, I'm glad you quit!!

Well done!: Bravo on your progress quitting smoking. You are right, trouble falling asleep can happen when you stop smoking. You are giving up an important habit; try to find a healthier one that can help take it's place and space in your life. Focus on family, activities, hobbies.
