MDMA and Insomnia (MDMA as a sleep aid.)

People who say they have fallen asleep on MDMA don't know how to party. This is verging on the ridiculous. Just take some sleep aid man.

Haha. I think it depends on the scenario. If I'm out and about I'm obviously not going to get sleepy. If I'm home, I'll usually get pretty cozy. Have you never just drifted off into a euphoria driven slumber?
 
Are you a bit ADD/ADHD?

side note: I personally find morphine and MDMA to have wonderful synergy, so I'm not so sure you can chalk this experience all up to the E. I can't imagine E putting me to sleep, but you took what I consider to be a sub-threshold dose...
 
I never had issues sleeping after a night using. I think it was a wierd half sleep day dream wierd dreams and shit type sleep but at least its not pure frustration like other stims.

Also when i got my SSRI's they said some people take them at night because it makes them sleep, others it doesnt. It seems people are different in this respect. If im right the stimulation with MDMA is from some dopamine or mostly SNS stimulation side effects, not Serotonin release. I guess your ability to sleep might be related to your personal propensity for pereperhal stimulation or your perception thereof.

I do now remember that i always also drank a shit ton when using. That helped with the sleep no doubt.

Never. I get dirty insomnia from pretty much every drug. Even ketamine gives me trouble sleeping because of the vivid dreams I get (I have chronic nightmares). I normally go to sleep when I combine MDMA and ketamine together though, and thats only after a serious few hours tripping. Everytime I've done acid I haven't sleep for 48 hours. Last two times I did mushrooms had real trouble sleeping as well.
 
In my case the party was on the bed and I guess I just melted to zz land for a couple of hours. So many variables.


But I know there is NO way it would work as a sleep aid to get to bed for the night on.
Obvious answer is get melatonin as already mentioned.

Yeah, I shouldn't have used the word 'sleep-aid' but I'm saying it gets me going to sleep really well.
Also, melatonin doesn't do shit for me at ALL. One time I was like, just lemme take 4 because previous 1, and 2 didn't do shit. Again, stayed up for an additional 9 hours. Fuck Ambien barely works.

Exactly! I get really cozy then start getting sleepy. And yes, I usually have lucid dreams when I fall asleep rolling. The euphoria when laying in bed is so pleasant.

Would that affect it? I've had ADHD since 13, I've grew out of the hyperactivity, but I still have strong ADD.

But what if you take it not to party sometimes? I can party, but there's days I can where I like to roll alone, go skate, go to work, etc.
 
I've got on it alone before as well, that's down to personal preferance. I like to rave in my room whilst doing so. I would never take drugs and take part in physical activity like skating because of the risks, but thats your preference. I would never ever take drugs and go to work, because thats irresponsible.

If I can function just as if I was sober except for me being a little more talkative why is that irresponsible?
You can say taking your prescription Xanax is irresponsible in that case and more than half the country would be 'irresponsible'. Its all about how the user personally interacts with the drug. And for you to pass judgement is really ignorant because you should know that.

Sometimes I like to take MDMA and relax as well as rave. Depends on my mood. Oh well.
 
I'm ignorant to think taking drugs and going to work is irresponsible? The risk is less if you're working in an office cause you're not going to hurt anybody, but if you get drug tested or just found out thats you busted. So yes I think it's irresponsible. But that's your life, I aint gonna tell you what to do.

MDMA and xanax are two COMPLETELY different classes of drugs. If you are taking MDMA at a responsible rate, once a month maximum like you're supposed to, there is no way you would be taking MDMA at work, and I really doubt you'd be taking it sitting at home after work and then get so bored on the drug that you want to go to sleep.


You sound like an extreme abuser of MDMA who is now taking it in his everyday life to make himself feel better. That's called addiction, and MDMA should not be used in this fashion.




If you're taking MDMA and feeling "sober except for me being a little more talkative", that's just sad.
 
Working while under the influence is irresponsible. That doesn't mean that making tacos whilst rolling isn't way fun.
