Excessive Sleepiness?

[agga40s]

I have had insomnia as long as I can remember. Ever since I started vaping, I can fall asleep in no time flat, day or night. If I sit still, I have to fight falling asleep. Kinda interferes with my vaping sessions. Is this common? Does it pass? I'm sleeping 10 - 12 hours per day!

I've been vaping since 3/29, have quit analogs altogether, if that matters.

agga, that was always my biggest hurdle to overcome any time I've quit smoking. I always thought it was because of nicontine being a stimulant then cutting that off. It's happened regardless of what NRT I've used, including e-cigs. It does get better the longer you're off of them.

Some have said we only get a fraction of nicotine in e-cigs of what we were getting in analogs. I don't know, but now that I've been off of them for over 4 months, I tend to think it's also because of the other additives and not just nicotine.

Good luck and cangrats for quitting!

I noticed this too in the beginning. I thought I was imagining it! It gets better.

I'm sure if someone were to sit down and pick through the list of hundreds of chemical additives in analogs and see what effect each one has on the body (and mind) it would be shocking. It would probably be enough to make non-vaping smokers consider the possibility of maybe thinking about quitting some day.

I just started vaping a few days ago but noticed that I sleep so much better now. I am not totally off analogs but I am sure I will be soon. I just ordered a 501 and feel that once I can get that throat hit I'll throw out my pack of cigs. I also wondered how we could be so tired due to all the sugar in the e juices, lol. Sometimes I feel like a kid who ate to much candy.

Thanks for your responses, everyone. Nitewriter, I think you're right about the other stuff that's in the analogs. I know nicotine is a stimulant, but I'm still getting that, so it has to be something else that is only in the analog. At any rate, it's nice to know that it passes and I guess I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. Thanks again!
