Absolutely you need not worry. You will be fresh as you get up from a good night's sleep.

Keep yourself busy in some activities like reading, listening to melodious music or whatever you like other than smoking.

The thinking patten (The vicious pattern of thinking) can be broken with your conscious effort and find happiness everywhere. Your continuous conscious effort will fetch results much more than you expect.

Regards !
