A little experiment: can I sleep without drugs?

Tonight I'm gonna try to sleep without the help of any sedatives. No benzos, no zopiclone, no seroquel, and not even a puff of weed. I can't remember the last time I've had a natural non-drug-induced sleep, but maybe tonight I can finally pull it off. It's worth a try, I suppose. But if I seem grumpy and overtired tomorrow, you can probably assume that my experiment wasn't a resounding success.

 

That's good sweet P, let me know how it works out.

 

Don't forget about the terrible insomnia that occurs after we stop our drugs. It may take about a week without anything (I know... BLEH!) in order to really see if you can sleep without drugs

 

I seriously can't remember what natural sleep feels like. I always take something to get me to sleep because i can't sleep without something even if it's just some weed.

Good luck to ya and let me know how this goes.

 

Ok, my experiment didn't exactly work out to plan! After staying awake for hours, I got up at about 3am and went for a walk around the neighbourhood. I was then stopped by a passing patrol car for "acting suspiciously", and had my details taken before I was finally allowed to return home. Honestly, I think it would have just been easier to take a sleeping pill lol.

 

I had that happen to me too. I couldn;t sleep and went out to meet a male friend at a local food chain. He walked me part way home (since my now ex was abusive didnt walk me al lthe way). Just cause I hugged my friend on a street corner at 2am, cops stopped us assuming I was a whore.....I was like.....really? wtf? have you seen what I am wearing? LOL I should have just taken a sleeping pill that night too....

 

^ OMG that's terrible! Fortunately prostitution is legal in NZ, so it would be perfectly safe for me to hug someone on a street corner hehe. But apparently going for a walk after dark automatically makes you look suspicious.

 

OOookay. Weird police.
They even stopped my 55yr old mom walking the dog once.

In Ontario, if you don't have at least $5 in your pocket, apparently they can stop you for something..... i can;t recall the legal term right now. Sometimes my province sucks balls LOL

I tried the no pills for 3 days and It was hell. I was riddled with anger and anxiety it was outrageous.

PV seemed to help until I got home though.

2 days later my doc randomly piss tested me. Eh Well, I had fun with my bru LOL
