Sleeping after your trip.

Im assuming im not the only one who has trouble with this? I find it to be nearly impossible and I also find it to be the one of the absolute worst feelings that I can experience. Being so tired but just not being able to sleep. Just lying down makes me feel so... strange.
You definately learn alot about yourself at that point I think.

Does anyone have any ways of getting to sleep naturally? Herbal teas, meditation, smoking alot of pot? Do any of the more experienced trippers have any pointers? I really love lucy, it's just the end part, the coming down.

Maybe it's the acid I'm getting and it's not very good or something? I'm not sure, any thoughts would be appreciated...

 

Take about 20mg of Valium.. That'll make it A LOT easier to go to sleep! Always works for me..

panthenol, have you always been able to get asleep when you want to? Like, ok im going to bed, and get in bed, and go to sleep within a few minutes?

acid keeps me awake for a long while
but I am used to insomnia.. at least while lying on acid, I have the lingering waves of the acid rippling around.

so im wondering - do you feel particularly strange when lying around on acid compared to when you normally cant sleep or is it that it is strange for you to be so present for an extended period of time while lying in bed when you are meant to be asleep?

 

naturally? um, find a girl that you can love for the rest of your life, get her to take off her cloths and get under the sheets with you, staring at all the crazy ancient relics of the acid trip while touching and feeling up your girlfriend, ahhh, well, it won't necesarily get you to sleep soon but, why would you want to sleep when your tripping is what I would like to know

 

i think he means sleeping after the trip.

This can be one of my favorite times. when i get so stoned and just lay in bed thinking and listening to music. i find it really nice most of the time, but yeah can be frustrating.

 

I usually end up staying awake until the following evening after a trip. Sleep is for the weak :cheers2:

 

Sorry, I missed the 'natural' part of your question.. If i dont have any Valium on hand, I'll either smoke some herb and listen to some tunes as was already suggested. I've never had any luck this way and just wind up staying up till the next evening like relayer..

i usually just give it like 14 hours after the trip, and i can fall asleep really easily if i had a really good trip.

after a good trip i just feel so relaxed that sleeping just comes easily. but if i had an intense trip or something then it's quite alot harder.

i'd recomend just having better trips? lol

opium always put me to sleep too. smoke a bowl and your visuals will go pretty crazy for a few mins but you will be really chilled out and it's not that hard to get to sleep. problem is that it can mess with some of the after effects if you use it to get to sleep. like, it can make the awsome after effects go away completely or give you negative after effects.

so just stay awake until like 14 hours after you dosed, and then if you still can't go to sleep go watch some movies and pass out on the couch.

the main secret is just not trying to lie in bed trying to get to sleep when you obviously can't. that is what becomes extremely excruciating. just get up and do something for a few hours and come back.

 

yes, I usually trip in the morning so I have a good nights rest before and then I sleep in the wee hours of the night after most of the effects have become lament.

 

If you really need to get to sleep after acid your only option is more drugs.

Whether pot or dramamine or benzos or booze.

However this sucks balls on acid

Just enjoy the night and listen to what the silence says

 

I just stay up.

All my perceptual faculties and energetic systems are totally fried after I trip, so while I really want to sleep, I never can.

So I say might as well make the best of it, stay up and enjoy the afterglow.

 

crazy ancient relics?

 

i think what i need to do is not do it for a while and pick better times to have it. the last time i did i had it at a party and it really wasn't very cool. i mean, it was cool, but not really what i wanted to get from it...

next time i'll just try and stay up.. i usually do but sometimes i just wanna crash out and sleep for the next million years haha. might have to get some valium for emergency situations...

 

good idea

 

both times ive done it and had trouble sleeping, i played some video games

the light from the screen kind of tires u out even more, and kind of gets ur mind off the trip u just had

works for me...

 

a more natural way to fall asleep is taking melatonin when you are ready to sleep. ill take some after i watch the sun come up and sleep great.

 

umm. i noticed that i always have trouble going to sleep too, so this is my answer...stay up all night the night before you trip. ill usually stay up all night then drop around lunchtime. its so easy to goto sleep after not sleeping the night before. umm it also induces a crazier trip imho. weird dream visions.

 

i tripped last night and i worked out the key to sleeping.

we were all sitting around in my room and no one wanted to leave and go for a walk or anything we just didnt do anything but smoke weed and then there was none left in the morning to get to sleep.
But when i go for a massive journey and dont stop walking for 6 or 7 hours or go to a club and dance for 6 or 7 hours you come home completely exhausted and just gotta smoke a joint and then your out.
exercise is key. makes the trip more interesting too. imo.

 

lol, sorry but that's like, first step. Of course if you spend your whole lucy trip sitting on your butt at home getting high on weed you're gonna have a hard time sleeping. You have the energy of an atomic bomb and you're just placidly storing it.

I'm talking about having a hard time sleeping after being active for a long time as well.

Your body is tired, but your mind has just begun.

 

oh, when i have an active trip i never have trouble sleeping. I just get tired right down to my bones. and i dont even realize when i fall asleep i just look at the clock at some point and hours have gone by and i feel refreshed.
