Difficulty sleeping on H

I think just about any opiate makes it difficult to sleep, at least in my expierience. But yes anytime I have done heroin I have wound up sleepless and with a raw face.
 
you dont "sleep" on H. you just sort of nod off for 8 hours. its hard to explain, but for me, you toss and turn all night, never really fully get into a sleep, but randomly have dreams and wake up and fall back asleep.... but the entire night your never fully unconciouse...its weird... usually by like 5 in the morning ill look at hte clock and be like "fuck im still not asleep yet".... then maybe ill sleep for real for a few hours and wake up, feeling like i just had the best 10 hour sleep of my life. its strange to say the least
 
when i go to sleep i try not to go on high doses of H cause then its a bit tough to get to sleep,
but on lower doses or a couple of hours after
using its not difficult to fall asleep and i usually never wake up in the middle of the night (except if i gotta piss ).
and i find it nice cause if im stressed out i usually cant get much sleep throughout the night but on H i can sleep as long as i wanna and im rested.
 
whne i go to bed on not so high doses of H it actually helps me sleep pretty good. if i take high doses i get the nod for a couple hours thing and not really sleep. but if i just take not so much im in for a good night sleep.
 
I suppose a small "starter" dose- like 1 bump's worth- could make you sleep ok. I just found this real relaxed, floaty body state on 3 bumps yet there was this, like, total body buzz going on. I couldn't complete sentences and was on the nod for about 5 hours straight and I found myself drifting in and out of consciousness but not really sleeping. Hmmmm.....interesting. This is all so new for me. It's encouraging to hear others experiences as well. Peace.
 
all the times i do h, weather big or small amounts, i nod off the wake up till im like okay and give up on trying to stay up, then i knock out for a good 8 hours.
 
i've never really messed around with H but Im a big fan of Oxycotin. Whenever I end up doing Oxy's I have a very hard time sleeping, I have to agree that I end up in the lightest state of sleep, I will toss and turn all night and not really sleep but I kinda dream and then wake up wondering why im still not falling asleep, its weird :-/ I usually don't do OC unless I have some sort of anti-anxiety like xannax or kolonopin (sp?).. samething goes for when i do glass
 
I think it happens when you take lethal dosages. When I take too much hydromorphone or fentanyl or something like that (I mean strong opiates/opioids) I can't sleep.
 
The only times I've ever slept on heroin is when I've shot up too much and wake up several hours later thinking "damn, I wasted that high" and I would shoot up again and wake up another few hours later.
It's only really cool when you have a lot of heroin and you do it for 2 or 3 days straight and only ever move to go to the bathroom or shoot up some more before you pass out.
 
^^ I have done similar things (tho I think I had some benzo help). It still wasn't cool, built up tolerance, had a nasty sober next week and wasted all those highs. I mean fuck I could have taken some benadryl and lost that much time.
I usually have no problems sleeping and the same is true on H. For me it is the magical wonder drug that does anything I want it to do. It will keep me up if I need to work, wake me up in the morning, put me to bed if that is what I want. Make me horny, make me immune to sexual feelings. How can one drug do so many wonderfull things.
How can one drug be so fucking expensive.
 
I have problems sleeping on H if i've just got back on it, i wake during the night regulary sitting upright.This happens for a few days. But once your addicted I cant sleep without it. Most opiates are the same be it Morphine, Codiene,H, or Methadone.
 
Yep, I have troubles falling asleep on opiates. Like people above have said, you toss and turn for a few hours kinda having small dreams and then waking up again, never really sure whether you slept or not. Not really a bad kinda insomnia, like you might get with meth however. I really don't mind it. You just lie in bed feeling all cozy, relaxed, and sleepy, but not falling asleep.
 
Usually heroin would put me into that half-sleep hypnogogic dreamy state you spoke of earlier.
However, some times, especially after a higher dose, my falling to sleep would be interrupted by the odd waking up gasping for air after you've realised you've forgotten to breathe for over 30 seconds.
Scary stuff.
 
i also have difficulty trying to sleep after taking H(or any OPIATES) that day or night...like tonight, for example, its 4 in the morning here in my lil' town and yet im kinda high from the H still, and im quite sleepy but i guarantee you if i tried to go to sleep right now it would take me a few hours to get to sleep....either that or i might not get to sleep at all...thats what happened to me last night, i did H and it kept me up all night long...never managed to get to sleep... thats bad cuz i cant sleep during the day either....
i have heard or i read somewhere that taking OPIATES and then sleeping prevents one from entering the REM period of sleep, where you are fully at rest and in the dream state...i believe i read this in a health mag and was written by a doc so it probably had some merit to it...then again, i have fucked up little dreams when i manage to sleep off the OPIATES so that says it right there that im entering some form of deep sleep....fuck, i dunno, im not a doc...
