I think sleeping patterns may be disrupted no matter "how" you quit. I used the patch...had vivid dreams...would awake often....but then I blamed menopause for some of it....seemed like the quit brought those symptoms to the front for a spell?? A few weeks in, I couldn't sleep....then later, I couldn't get "enough" sleep! My hub quit cold turkey, he is known to be able to sleep n o matter what, and he had a spell of not sleeping well. Each individual is different. Just hang tough and remember that all these symptoms WILL finally pass.
and if I were you, I would follow the patch program to the end. I credit it at least partially with my success in quitting :)
