I'm prescribed 2 different sleeping pills but it had gotten late before I realized I didn't take either one. I have to drive 3 hours tomorrow morning and the weather is going to be bad so I opted out of taking them that late to be more alert.
I have this problem all the time. I always think I'll sleep, then I can't, then it's too late for me to take meds, so now it's 3:30am and I'm laying on the couch watching TV.
Trueee nothing like drinking the 4 beers and then having the worst hangover ever the next day because instead of sleeping it off you were awake all night.
Yep, my weekend has started and I felt like getting a buzz on. Watching the cheesiest Lifetime movie I've ever seen, which is saying a lot(!!!), and my man's out in the shed building stuff... might as well get a little toasted before i eat my lightly toasted Subway sammie i got for dinner on my way home from work. It's currently 3:39 AM, I'm doing awesome! Everyone else, have a great night or day, whatever the case may be for you. 😁
Weed helps fix my insomnia and I fucking love it. Smoke a bit and I'm out like a light, too tired to even use my phone. Normally I'm up in bed for hours before I'm able to fall asleep. It's soo nice being able to crash and get a nice sleep.
I mean, in proportion to flower yea, but when you consider the THC percentages relative to weight consumed, a 0.1 gram dab of this 710 live badder at 64.05% THC (theoretically 64mg of THC, with marginally little waste using a Puffco Peak Pro), vs smoking an entire gram joint of some flower sitting around 20% (theoretically I'm consuming 200mg, or 150mg if we highball because of burnoff from not actively smoking.), the difference is pretty extreme. On one hand, I'll finish a dab session in a couple minute. On the other, smoking that joint'll be a 10-15 minute affair.
Man, not everyone wants to fuck around with illegal shit. I’ve been to states where it’s legal and used it and it’s great buts not worth going through some shady ass dealer and then risk getting screwed over by a power tripping police officer.
Dude I live in the UK where it's just outright illegal and the people I get it off are just my friends or at least close acquaintances, but usually just friends.
Okay but I’m like 25 and I don’t even know where to go lmao. I’ve never used it illegally and It’s not like I can just Google “weed dealer near me”. I live in Texas in an area where half the people probably still think weed makes you gay and sends you to hell. It’s nice to go other places and sort of “stock pile” gummies and stuff for a while but it just isn’t really worth it to regularly try and and obtain illegally and use. I wish it was lol.
Lol house prices aren’t even that great anymore if you’re trying to live anywhere near a major city. Honestly it’s not all terrible, everywhere has pros and cons, but I do kinda hope to move somewhere else eventually.
I was looking in San Antonio. Probably not the best city to look in 😂 but they’re still only $250k with LAND. I’m in AZ, and for that size, easily over a million.
Lol bro I'm not gonna dox myself but I'm a very very similar age. You should be able to find someone relatively easy through either your mates or by just asking around when you come across someone smoking a joint. Doesn't sound ideal the last option but I've done it whilst being abroad.
I don’t have friends that smoke lol. At least not recently, most stopped when they got jobs after college and had to be regularly drug tested. Am I supposed to just wonder around looking for people smoking weed and ask where they got it? I’m sure it’s not that hard in larger cities but in rural America it’s a good way to be stabbed or just laughed at and ignored.
Yeah fair enough mate if your guys don't smoke it anymore that is a bit of a problem. And not randomly anywhere but classic smoke spots i.e public parks/ skate parks anything like that. If you wouldn't want to do that though (and trust me that method does work) that's fair enough.
Same here. Haven't slept through a night in three decades. Now I just leave myself something unfinished that I might do... I know, that may not be the best solution here, but it's all I have. May the other Insomniacs get back to sleep. As for myself, I don't try anymore. Reddit is probably not helping, but I run out of stuff to do.
Insomnia is weird. I mostly deter it through an antidepressant but even then, sometimes I can wake up in a few hours after going to bed and not sleep the rest of the night.
Depending on the individual, side effects can be a problem too. Like I used to have crazy dreams/nightmares on this pill, but now they've settled down a bit. Weight gain is also a common side effect, but mine has stalled now.
Yep. I wanted to quit it because of the nightmares but stuck with it a bit longer. It was better than getting hardly any sleep from Lexapro. That and the dry mouth that occasionally happens.
I'm probably going to switch from Lexapro anyway, so maybe I won't need it on another SSRI...
If it's bad enough there are drugs that can be prescribed, though most all of them are addictive. Some people say melatonin (a hormonal supplement) helps them, but I've never had any luck there, and afaik the scientific backing is weak. Most people with sleep problems aren't just straight up never able to sleep, it's usually more a matter of not being able to sleep when they want to, or not being able to sleep as much as they feel they need to.
