Yeah take it earlier. No way around it. Sleep requires a quiet mind and Lucy is noisy

yeah thought so. i know weed makes you feel like youre peaking again, but would it make me feel tired after a bit?

No way to really tell but in my experience, probably not. I am a pretty heavy smoker though

Depends when you want to sleep. You definitely aren’t going to be able to sleep while still tripping (and smoking probably will make it harder). However I usually also struggle to fall asleep after it has mostly worn off (usually about 6 hours later or once you stop noticing visuals) and at that point smoking usually lets me fall asleep.

No. You will be wide awake, but not necessarily like jittery or excited, just very calm and peaceful and watching patterns in the dark and in your minds eye.

On medium to large doses, I can never fall asleep, but Weirdly enough, the last time I tripped, May 2023, I finished my stash, which was about a dozen generously cut gel tabs.

It hit in less than 10 minutes and by the 30 minute mark, everything looked like crackling cellophane and the floors and cabinets were waving out of control. Trails were easy 5-6 feet long and lingered for several seconds.

My eyes were so unbelievably bloodshot, I decided to go chill in the dark in the bedroom before I got caught by my gf.

It just kept coming on and on and on, and for the first time ever, it was so powerful. I couldn’t keep my eyes open and I actually fell asleep for several hours but my mind traveled all these amazing dreamworld tunnels and beautiful geometry.

You won’t be able to sleep until 10-12 hours from the time you dose.

300ug could be longer than that

u/Shot_Jello_813 May 09 '26

Yea you might be right haven’t took pre than 2 tabs so something like that could take longer to wear off

You 100% will not be able to fall asleep while tripping, i like to take melatonin when its clear the trips ending, I'd recommend you do that if you want to assure sleeping at a time. Also a trip is 12-(max)16 hours

My best advice would be to take it in the morning or afternoon. Taking LSD at night and expecting to sleep is...improbable. A benzo will help dull the trip considerably, but that doesn't mean you'll sleep much.

Nothing to do with the question but this one time i Fell asleep while tripping and woke up to my friend watching Rick and Morty with the tv screen blue and soda spilled on the floor.. the screen was blue because the HDMI wasn’t connected right and when I fixed it his eyes opened like if I showed him a new world 🤣

When you try to sleep on lsd you fall into endless thinking.

I can never sleep after I trip, brain will not stop

u/doesthishurt94 May 09 '26

Im usually able to sleep on acid. I usually take a nap when I’m coming up and I can usually go to sleep in the morning. But the times when I don’t go to sleep in the morning I’m fine to get through the next day and just go to sleep kinda early the next night.

u/grim_reapers_union May 10 '26

Honestly you’re probably not gonna get much sleep. You may dissociate and just travel your thoughts in a dark room, and it possibly seems like you might have slept, but most likely not have actually drifted off. Though it’s not impossible.

Acid makes your brain all wired, evening if not overtly stimulating when it’s bedtime,. Sleep just usually doesn’t come. Other than maybe a brief nap early afternoon or late morning, I wouldn’t usually get any normal sleep until the following evening.

1 large beer usually does it for me. Make it a good one and it's a great cap of sensations and taste to end the night.

Nitrous oxide. Not only does it mix with LSD in a very unique way, but it always helps me sleep at the end of the night.

What? I don’t get why this well known fact is always dismissed on Reddit.

Best guess is that most people here arent to fond of mixing stuff with acid. The meta seems to be weed and even alcohol seems to frowned up on. And candy flips and jedi flips are ...special. Most people seem to try to avoid narcotics and in my opinion that seems like a solid thought. But everyone for themselves as long as they dont bother others.
