About this time every night I start sucking-in as much vapor as I can - alternating between freebase and salt: not enough to get nic-sik, but enough to start feeling like a nap.
Almost every night without fail, doing this little end-of day dose-up promotes dreams that’re so much more involved and intense than smoking ever did and I’ll often be woken up by these dreams, reach out, have another hit then return to sleep and have another dream.
These dreams never keep me awake, just wake me up a few moments before I go back under again.
The gum, lozenges aand patches from the supermarket used to do the same thing but I get more control with a vaporizer
Nicotine causes a release of the hormone epinephrine, which acts as a stimulant on the nervous system. I mix at 3.5% and sometimes have trouble falling asleep. But a quick hit or 2 of some OG Kush is a great remedy.
jinx_d, sleep issues can suck. Good sleep is vastly underrated. I loved Warren Zevon’s music, but never agreed with his “I’ll sleep when I die” line.
As someone with sleep issues, there are times I struggle. And as a person in recovery (long term), there are many medications and “aids” that I can’t take. Finding natural tools that work for me has been a journey and a challenge.
Nothing worse than getting NO skeep all night, then the next day that horrid fuzzy feeling you get.
And every hour that fuzziness seems to double until you get to the afternoon and get that second wind (or first really) which is probably just all the coffee finally starting to stack and do something.
Yeah I hate not getting sleep.
Then you end up panicking while you’re laying in bed that you won’t sleep again, which stops you sleeping …look at the clock it’s 3:00AM “FUCK! Three hours and the sun will be up! :(”
i am sure you know, but turning off all screens hour or so before bed can make a large difference. before the internet, i would fall asleep in my chair watching TV.
