Sleeping and Lsd

Lysis said:
This is the one reason why I disliked taking LSD - I always stayed up for a good 24 hours afterwards and no way could I sleep. blah

Sounds more like you got sold DOx
 
^ I don't know what DOx is, but it's been a good 12-13 years since I've done LSD. It was fun, but I like my sleep so I always hated needing 2 days to recover. If it was offered to me now, I'd probably pass on it.
 
^Thats madness.

Missing out on one of the greatest drug experiences around, just because you miss out on a nights sleep... If taking acid meant missing out on a whole week of sleep I'd still do it without hesitation.

Plus their are many drugs available that can knock you out in any case, if you can't do it naturally.

LOL I hope you're joking, but I'm guessing you're not. I've never been a psychedelics fan at all. I haven't missed out on the experience. I probably did it about half a dozen times. It was fun, but "meh" is my overall opinion on it.

I just saw this thread about sleep and it brought me back to the last time I did it and I had to go to work and couldn't freakin sleep and I was getting pissed!
 
I'm not joking...

IMO one night sleep isn't very important, I do two jobs back to back and have worked 4 shifts without sleeping in between. Maybe some people can just handle a bit of sleep deprivation better than others.
 
Day tripping is the way to go. If I'm going to dose I'll usually do it early in the morning, so that I have plenty of energy and the experience wont be as exhausting. By night time (or midnight) I'll be ready to take a long peaceful snooze.
 
^I tend to agree. Although night tripping has its advantages as well.

I really hate taking benzos after a trip, it kills all the great thoughts that are budding in my psyche. I really hate those drugs now, which is ironic because they used to be one of my drugs of choice.

But yeah, I think its important for integration of the trip to ride out the comedown. Those hours are some of the most productive thinking times I've had. Most of the time I can't sleep long after the stimulating effect of the lsd wears off because my brain is working so hard to digest everything thats just gone on...but once I'm out I usually have a great sleep.

If you're having serious trouble, you could try some melatonin and valerian root. Kava kava may also be useful.

Benzos really kill the positive afterglow of LSD.

Yeah, definitely. No better way to turn a glowing, transcendental experience into a mere drug experience. Nah, wait, you could shoot a fat bag to come down. Not that I haven't been guilty of both. But yeah, I agree compeletely...
 
I also have trouble sleeping after acid, it is the only real side effect i get from LSD. I would suggest using Kava, or ideally Seroquel. Seroquel is a sedating atypical antipsychotic which should not show up on drug tests. It is often looked down on recreationally but i find it to be a better high than benzos, as well as a better sleep aid. Without a tolerance to its effects 50-100mg orally or snorted should knock you out immediately. Since it is an antipsychotic i would assume that it will particularly help with psychadelic based stimulation, as often what keeps me up on acid is not so much stimulation as the fact that my mind is racing and i cant relax enough to sleep.
 
harsh

alright so i took a couple tabs then i smoked some bud 8 hours after which seemed to extend the trip for 8 more hours! then i tried goign to sleep and still way to many thought were stormign thorugh my head im not sure if its from all the chaos and confusion that was goign on earlier but yeaa. but this is my real concern when i smoke i get sort of a relapse or liek a flash back where my high turns into a acid trip why is this
 
i can never sleep the day after acid. its such a constant that i dont even bother trying or thinking about it after i drop, i just know that my next day is going to be spent slightly sleep deprived. honestly though, i feel great the next day even without sleep, and have worked many times like that. dont see the problem personally tbh.

never taken sleeping aids or even considered it. something about rides and tickets, and whether or not you should be there?

I have dropped at 7:30, and been able to get to sleep by 5am. I sat in bed from 3am onwards, but just felt an amphetamine type buzz in my body, and the occasional leg jerk didn't help :)
