OTOH, If I have one coffee any time after noon, I can't sleep that night.
I know ... I'm weird
Thank you Delores, now I don't feel so weird
I can easily go to sleep after vaping and used to vape if I had to get up in the middle of the night (not so much anymore).
Stress can affect sleep in some fortunate individuals. Some are hardy and push on through.
Really sleep disorders of the less virulent "I have a sleep disorder" came about thanks to there invention of the light bulb and all that came thereafter, especially smartphones and computers and things that emit blue light more. The blue spectrum in light going through our eyes tells us to stay awake, darkness causes the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. So too many folks with too many lights one.
One of the times I slept best (to be fair it was pre diagnosis) was when I spent 2 weeks living in a cave (and yes, given our society PAYING for the privilege) and we went to sleep when it was dark, and got up when it was light. There was lots of other stuff we did but to be frank (ugh, apart from the whole "no toothbrush her is a twig" deal) in many ways, I have never felt better.
Candles are not TERRIBLE they are okay but BLUE light is murder on you bran's shut down system. I BOUGHT a blue light to use at night when I was working a night shift. It worked. The occasional times I forgot to turn it on, I was dozing off.
You can get blue light filter goggles AND they do sort of, well, work. Or shut of the electronics at about 6 pm. Or take melatonin. OR just be a night owl,.
Etc.

I know there is alot of humor in this thread we all need a good laugh. If you are not sleeping well it shouldn't be taken lightly it effects your entire health. I encourage you to have a sleep study and have a professional help you it will change your life. If you have trouble sleeping and have health problems a good night sleep is the first step in how the body heals itself. Your AMA doctor may not tell you this, if they heal you they got to go out and drum up business, lol
Ok, I'm through back to the regularly scheduled thread.

I'll vape until I go to sleep, but I don't really think about it.. i.e., 'well I'm about to fall asleep in 10 seconds, so I better get one last puff in!' I go to bed early around 8ish and wake up at 3:30am. Nicotine doesn't affect my sleep. I get excited for the morning vape nic rush though.
I vape until I'm ready to go to bed. I take a mod with me and keep it on my nightstand. When I go to bed, I'll read on my tablet until I'm my eyes and brain are to go to sleep, which generally doesn't take very long; rarely more than 15-30 minutes. I don't usually vape during that time.
I don't usually vape when I wake up to go to the bathroom, but sometimes if I can't get back to sleep, I find one or two small hits actually help; go figure.
This is pretty much how I was with smoking too.

Yes, I vape before sleeping, and if I wake up in the middle of the night. But, I have to watch the amount. A little is relaxing, too much will keep me awake.
Too much nicotine can make it hard to deep sleep (look up lucid dreaming with the nic patch).
Also, too little can bug you with cravings, that's when you get dreams about smoking even though you've not smoked for a decade.

When I tried the patch (before trying vaping) a friend warned me about that... said take the patch off before bed or I would have crazy dreams. Personally, I do have trouble sleeping when I vape before bed (physically tired but my mind is fully awake) Normally, I sleep very well (once worked night shift... had to sleep during the day, can sleep through anything now)
My ideal vaping routine would be: high nic in the morning, medium nic all day and low nic before bed. That reminds me... gotta go vape
Yes, right after I turn off the light I have a few puffs and then when I wake up in the middle of the night to use the restroom I have a puff and finally first thing when I wake up I have a puff.
Last thing at night, first thing in the morning. I have been known to occasionally wake up in the middle of the night with my vape still in my hand.
