What is the ingredient in a cigarette that allows me to get back to sleep when?!
Question: I wake up in the middle of the night feeling restless?
Whenever I decide to skip my before bed smoke, I end up waking up a few hours later unable to sleep. Finally I will go out and take a few puffs of a cig and minutes later I'm sleeping like a baby.
Is it the nicotine that causes this relaxation in me?

I am the same way,I have to smoke a ciggy before I go to bed.Otherwise I am waking up in the middle of the night.It's the addiction and nicotine...I'm sure it's the same for any addiction ,even food,I've known people who had to eat something before they go to bed or they wake up in the middle of the night starving...addiction is just that we must feed it! :-(
Nicotine is very addictive. So probably (I'm not a smoker but know people who do smoke) the fact that you gave your body the "fix" of nicotine it was craving, was what helped you go back to sleep.
Take care.
