Does Nicorette Gum Causes Sleep Disturbance?

Hi I quit smoking 10 days ago. I have quit many times but I have no choice this time so I am actually doing not too bad BUT I am waking up every hour during the night and I am getting exhausted. I chew no more than 4 nicorettes a day and stop using them by 4 pm and this had helped somewhat. I have a low tolerance for all medications. Is the nicorrette gum causing my sleep disturbance and if so what can I do to get through my day with no quit smoking aid?
