almost every time i use opiates heavily, mainly with heroin, the next day i'll get home from work and sleep for like 12+ hours

is this common with anyone else?
 
meh, I used to think that it was the opiates, but now, in hindsight, I know that it was a number of other factors that contributed to my marathon sleeping sessions -- namely, chronic fatigue syndrome.

I had a bad, bad, ridiculously bad -- terrible even -- case of mono. It was nightmarish, and the cherry on top of that shit sundae was an equally bad case of chronic fatigue, not uncommon after a bad case of mono.

Now, almost two years later, I've recovered somewhat and the chronic fatigue has gone away. But, at the time, I would sleep for 14 hours and wake up feeling exhausted. I still use the same amount of opiates if not more opiates now than before, and I don't experience the same fatigue as I did then.

But it would make sense that opiate abuse would contribute to one's sleepiness. However, in my experience, coming down off of stimulants resulted in more marathon sleeping sessions than with opiates.
 
it may have to do with me staying up late nodding out than getting up early for work and busting my ass doing repetitive manual labor for 8 hours

i can't nap, if i fall asleep i'm in it for the long run, and always wake up extra tired after those 12+ hour sleeping sessions

and yeah coming down off stims results in very long naps and binge eating, of course, you've fuckin been awake for three days
 
Nah man you're not the only one...I binged on heroin and oxy the past few days myself. Then last night I slept 12 hours and I got up 20 minutes before work. Took more oxy to get through the shift then I came home and took the last bit of it. Now i'm just craving more lol :!
 
Ive done the mono thing. Winter of 2010 i had mono, strep, and a dope habit to deal with. All i did was cop dope, sleep, use, eat, smoke cigs. I had pay coming in regardless so money wasnt an issue. My mono lasted 2 fucking months. So i slept about 2/3 of that time. Couldnt bear to get out of bed really except to cop dope. Oddly when i was really high the mono wasnt so bad and my coughing ceased from my strep. Heroin: the ultimate cough medicine.
 
I can relate.

Sometimes after a few days of binging, you get the best sleep imaginable...though sometimes it comes in massive amounts, ha. Funny how when you do have it, you can sleep seemingly endlessly, but you're without it and sleep...sleep doesn't exist.
 
without fail, the day after doing heroin, opana, etc. I feel very lethargic and it takes a lot of effort to do normally simple things. the exception being with pods where the high goes into the next day, so it's not such an abrupt "comedown."
 
It happens to me. I sleep all day after using opiates, and then make up for it with insomnia over the next couple of days when kicking.
