I'm not a huge fan of nodding, though I do take enough most nights to make me sleep easier.
Often it's a pain when you want to stay awake to enjoy the high or you want to read a book or talk to people without being ridiculously sleepy.
I'm asking for any advice/tricks people have?
I thought this thread might be helpful to others too: some people have to work, some people just dislike the nod etc...

I wonder if caffeine would work? Or would it just "dirty" the high?

From what I understand you don't get much REM sleep stage at all during a nod, so I don't know how good it would be for sleep. Like other people have said, just use less to not nod.

So it's like alcohol in that way...you get a lot of sleep, but it's really crappy quality?
 
^yeah, the quality of sleep is completely different. As a one off, opiates can help someone to get some much needed rest, but as a regular thing the amount of quality natural rest that your body/mind gets will be lessened.

Are you using it for pain management?

Is there a reason that you have to take nod-inducing doses?
 
I have to take pretty high doses to nod personally.. not sure if you are taking too much or what.

The only way I usually nod hard is if I mix it with Xanax or something like that tbh..
 
I can never understand why people attempt to avoid the nod. It's like the final crescendo of your opiate musical.

If you excuse me, I'm gonna nod myself!
 
It always helps if I stay standing up and moving. If I take a big shot and stay seated, just relaxing, there's really no helping it. This is only for larger than normal shots.

You can avoid it all together if you just dose accordingly and save the big banger for night time or when you don't have anything pressing to do you need to be alert for.
 
^Ha yeah! I've had many times where if I stopped moving at all, I'd start nodding.....

There was the phase of rear-ending people at stop lights, man that sucked!

Coffee helps, believe it or not.....Other drugs, but that's not really a good option....splash water on your face....Have someone on hand to slap you every time you get that "gleam" in your eye!
 
It can literally save somebody from an OD keeping them up and moving. When somebody takes too much and is right on the edge, sitting down can be the difference between dropping and not.

You can help yourself that way too. There's always a much better chance of falling out if you do a fat shot and then just sit down/chill or even worse, lay down.
