1. Eat healthy foods/ Change your diet and what you are eating. Eat clean foods
2. Eat 3 hours before your sleep.
3. Sleep around the same time everyday ( Example: Monday-Sunday -wake up around 8am, sleep at 11pm)
4. Don-t drink any type of liquid that has caffeine within 7 hours before sleep. (No coffee, no sodas, and energy drinks etc).
It takes your body 7 hours for caffeine to completely get out of your system.
5. Wear socks and sleep in a somewhat warm temp room. Drink warm milk before as well. That can help. Don-t do anything that increases your heartbeat before you sleep. Don-t alcohol too. It may help knock you out, but you won-t get that REM/deep sleep.
To stop smoking, you gotta find someway to give yourself a waking call, maybe slapping yourself, go see a doctor to get test on your lungs and you will see your life expectancy and maybe that might motivate you to cut out smoking and live longer. It all starts with the will in your mind.
Cliche, but it-s true. When there is a will, there is a way. You just gotta reach down deep in yourself and analyze why you do it. The excuse -I do it because I-m addicted-, is the lamest excuse ever. You gotta look deeper and find the meaning of why you smoke. Maybe bored, maybe trying to impress strangers, makes you feel cool or good? Why does it make you good?
I-m a person that doesn-t believe in physical addiction ( drinking, smoking, drugs) Every addiction is a mental addiction. Everything starts with the mind.if you want to stop smoking then you should by medicine for it or just quit it yourself. You step up and just quit it. Just stop buying some. Just get rid of smoking in your life. and for a good night sleep stop smoking and start taking showers before you go to sleep so it will make you feel clean while you go to bed. and where blankets.Hey lisa,
I-ve tried just about every method there is out there and there is only one I can recommend - NLP! It eliminates the cravings.
Gum patches and all the other just did not cut it for me, not to mention cold turkey which was the hardest, I even tried the electric cig and it is just no match to the real thing.
Eventually a friend told me about a NLP method, check out this article:

it’s the one that got me off the cigs and smoke free for GOOD even without gaining weight! :)
Good luck kicking the habit!
J.quitting smoking is a b***h I found anything with cinnamon helps also get the patches. As for sleep try something over the counter check with the pharmacist so they can help you get something that isn-t addictiveFor me I found that going on a bike ride or taking a jog really helps. And for the smoking this is the best time to quit sense the tax just went up on them. My friend said today that the cans of tabacco he got for 25$ are going to cost 55$ tomorrow. LOL sucks for him maybe he will quit smoking. It ain-t worth that mich money!to get good sleep u must sleep in clean and comfortable clothes and in a well ventilated room..
sleeping makes u very active and ur brain works better,......
but i don-t know wat u r suppose to do to stop smoking......

Whats the best way to quit smoking right before/during cancer treatment? -
Whats the best way to quit smoking right before/during cancer treatment? -
I was recently diagnosed with hodgkins lymphoma and sometime in the near future I-ll be meeting with an oncologist and starting treatment. I want to quit smoking to help my situation, but I don-t know the best way to go about it. Quitting cold turkey would obviously be a good idea, but I honestly don-t think I-m capable of doing that. I-ve used patches successfully before, but it took a matter of months to quit that way. I-m not very familiar with nicotine gum, prescription stop-smoking aids, or anything else that may be out there. I-d like to quit a.s.a.p. to avoid becoming sicker during treatment. I-m also concerned about interactions between a stop-smoking aid and chemo/radiation therapy, if my method of quitting did need to take place while I was being treated. Any suggestions or info would mean a lot...Ask the oncologist office what they would suggest..here are some links on Hodgkins and some books for info...Stay AHEAD of any nausea with the anti-nausea pills (if given to you). Once you are nauseous, you won-t even want to look at a pill.

3 books on disease symptoms and treatments
you could also get these books on ebay or amazon or a half price book store. (last two are very similar)..
1.Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine
2.Handbook of Diseases (Lippencott)
3.Professional Guide to Diseases (Springhouse)Chantix worked well for me, but check about interactions. Your doctor will know if you can take it along with chemo.
I quit after a week on them, and haven-t had one since.
Best of luck to you with your treatment, my father was diagnosed with Stage 4b Hodgkins 1 1/2 years ago, and has been in remission after 6 months of treatments.I wish you the best of luck with you treatments!! I think kicking the habit will be a wise decision for you in the end!! I was a smoker of 20+ years and a health care provider. I tried quiting a few times, just to find myself at the mercy of Virginia Slims.... After a price hike was approved here in Colorado I decided I wanted the money more than the cigs, so I contacted my doctor who prescirbed Nicotrol Inhaler for me. It is an inhaler loaded with nicotine (not all the chemicals that are put into the tobacco to keep you addicted). Everytime I had a craving I took a puff off of the inhaler and the craving was gone. I have been cigarette free for almost three years now!! Good luck!!!Chantix worked amazingly well for me. I quit before my quit date. I really believe it to be a miracle drug.
Of course, check with your doctors for interactions first. You may want to try it even if you can only take it for a short time. It-s recommended that it be taken for 3 months. This could interfere with your upcoming procedures and medication. If that-s the case, see if you can take it for one month.
If you can-t use this, my second best recommendation is the patch. It will eliminate most of the physical cravings, although not much for the mental part. It will work if you really want to quit.
Best wishes with your treatments. Always talk to your doctor first, before trying anything, even the OTC stop smoking aids.Sorry to hear your bad news
Start believing in your self. What ever you believe about your self you are right If you believe you cant, you cant but start believing you can and just do it. I believed I cant so I could not, and then I decided my live is worth more than smoking. I start believing I can, and I stopped 5 months ago. And no, its not easy. But every time I want one I think of how valuable I am and all those people around me. And I tell my self every day if I take on Drag I will need to stop smoking all over again and that means I will just end up going throe every thing again.
My 1st day went something like this, If I can do one hour I can do 2. 1 day I can do 2 now I-m on I can do 5Months I can do 10
Snack food that I enjoy helps a lot, stay busy, don-t worry about picking up wait. Its easier to lose that extra pounds than get your life back.
All my luck and best wishes to you. I-m not going to lie to you...It is a hard roadWhats the best way to quit smoking right before/during cancer treatment? -
