finally slept

[belladonna87]

I finally slept last night, though for only five hours or so. Eating kind of felt a bit strange. I can't make my mind up whether or not to go to work high, I don't remember the last time I went clean. I'd fail a random drug test even if I didn't touch ice today. Maybe I should just go back to sleep, and start again.

I barely sleep anymore and the funny thing is I use opiates. Yet, I believe the insomnia is coming from my celexa I'm taking....I want to get off of it but my doctor says I can't just stop taking it. I did sleep a lot today though I woke up at 2pm and then whet back to sleep after being up for a couple of hours....only waking up now. I would still be sleeping if it wasn't so hot in this house.

Lack of sleep is one of the worst aspects of stimulants. If there is anyway you can use during the day and sleep each night, you'll be doing your body a big favor, even with daily use.

That is probably the only reason why I don't use meth anymore. I enjoy my sleep way to much.

Yeh as bad as the lack of sleep is from meth thats something thats fairly easy to control.

There was times when I stayed up 6 days straight on meth and besides the hallucinations/paranoid delusions you get that shit will break your body down physically real fast. But the positive side is all you have to do is not dose when you want sleep. The meth wears off, you crash, and sleep for days.

Opiates however are far worse imo when it comes to sleep. Not as far as keeping you up when you're high (which they do for many people) but in regards to withdrawals. I remember coming off pods For 8 days straight I must have only slept an hour or 2 at most. I'd lay in my bed in a state of fatigue that made me feel like I just swalled 50 thousand somas... but still could not sleep. That is true miserable hell. And although I got some sleep on day 8, for the following 2 weeks I was sleeping at most 1-3 hours a night.

When you are that depressed, and that anxious, and that physically ill already, ON TOP of not sleeping for weeks at a time, that shit will fuck with your head unbelievably. Not getting sleep makes my blood pressure go up, worsens wds, worsens your emotions, your joints start to crack and ache, your vision starts to blur, your nerves start to "misfire", your body bloats with water, your motor coordination degrades, ability to talk, walk, and think effectively.

I think a lot of people can deal with physical pain, some people can deal with anxiety and depression, but a lack of sleep becomes a catlyst for so much other shit and thats really hell on earth. You wind up dealing with like 40 different problems all at once and that shit will cause stress more than anything I can think of.

Regardless of the drug that causes it, its pretty much one of the only symptoms that genuinely scare me the most. You lose the ability to shut your body off and control one of the most fundamental and essential functions of health. At least when you can't sleep on meth you're too high most of the time to really care. But not getting sleep in wds... I really can't think of anything worse.

Either way, it fucking blows. I feel for you, really. Just got done going through the shit myself.

Yeah, sleeping is one of the hardest thing to do for me, and for all of us I guess. It's so unbelievable hard to sleep, even when we're so tired that we can't function any more properly during the day. But when we finally get enough sleep, it can change our lives in my opinion.

It can help the depression and anxiety, because when we don't sleep it makes things much worse in my opinion.

The worst thing is though for me, and I guess for many people, that we lie in the bed for hours trying to sleep, and when we actually do fall asleep we have to wake up in a couple of hours for work/school/ect. It's like an evil circle.

You get used to it , you sortof build a tolerance to it and know what to expect if u decide to do days over . I think the first night is crucial once u past there your bound to push another IMO. In emergency situations I will use gravel/benadryl with k+weed+alcohol that usually does the trick. Some sex doesnt hurt either. But IMO good eating habits really make the difference if I don't eat Im more prone to not sleeping. Hygiene too I.e showers&brushing teeth . I've been able to sleep in the same day recently but I think my tolerance is too high I'm not getting euphoria . Im in need of a break -.-

Good to hear! We shall talk later. I will email you from work :D

I remember W/Dring from Oxys last year.. I went C/T and I slept the first few days I going through W/Ds but thats because I was taking alot of clonapin, but once I was through the worst of it. The insomnia set in for a few weeks I didn't sleep but more than a hour or 2 at night and those hours were bad.
I starting taking all kinds of stuff to make me sleep nothing worked. Trazadone , Seriquil and Ambien. Nothing worked. Then I started eating like a pig lots of cereal and milk right before bed then I slept like 4 hours straight I still remember it. Now Im back on the shit going to try and jump off soon and am not looking forward to the lack of sleep. The W/Ds don't bother me as much as the lack of sleep the days and weeks afterwards.

lol cereal will do that broken pinky, ive noticed myself nodding out after eating a big ass bowl of coco puffs. like 3-4 bowls worth lol.

hey bella, glad you could finally get some sleep. the longer you stay up on meth/ice or crack/coke, to more your mind wants to deteriorate. for example, when i was up for almost 2 weeks on meth i was bugged out of my fucking mind!
shadow people, hell i was digging a hole, my place was trashed.
i then passed out and slept nearly 2 days straight. woke up and saw the kind of shit i was doing. oh man talk about coming to!
