Insomnia?

[Shiryo]

Anyone get an insomniac effect from vaping? Past week or so I been going to bed a few hours past my usual, already late, 3-4am bed time... I usually vape in my last hours of the night so i'm wondering if that's the cause?

I know nicotine somewhat keeps you awake so maybe i'm answering my own question. Just wondering if anyone has been in the same boat. I would search but I really need to get bed (laying in bed right now) as I have to wake up in 3 hours and the ECF Droid app doesn't have a search function.

I've noticed this, too. I'm 100% certain that I'm getting a lot more nicotine than I used to from analogs, and I'm 90% certain that it's affecting my sleep.

I'm going to try to find some no-nic juice for evening vaping.

That'll probably subside. I suspect it's more from going off cigarettes than getting on vaping.

I have to use a lower mg nic in the evenings or it keeps me up as well. Nicotine is a stimulant so it's like drinking coffee at bedtime.

Same for me so I tend to vape lower nic before bed.
Found another thread that broaches the subject: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nicotine/178056-insomnia-nicotine.html

If i vape a lot before i go to bed then it will take me about an hour to fall asleep. I try to to stay off my pv about an before i go to bed.

I remember being involved in a discussion much like this one a long time ago. I had the same type of problem.

I had to lower my nic to 8-12 after about 6 pm. One of the things I have found is that I don't want to go to bed because I want to keep vaping!

Yeah, but it also gives you a reason to get up in the morning!

Nicotine does keep me up. But when I actually do fall asleep, I occasionally get those crazy vivid dreams like I've never had before. LOVE THEM.

I end up sleeping less at night now that I'm vaping. My afternoon nap has has changed from about an hour to about two.

Insomniac here, too, with 'nic' too high before bed. After about 6pm, I move toward anywhere from 0 to 6mg nic. That helps!

I'll agree with the others, drop the nic levels at night. I'm dropping from an 18 to a 12, and noticing a large difference just in that. Thinking of going lower still in the before-bed comfort-vaping hour.

I started vaping about 3 months ago at 24mg and had no problems sleeping initially. In the past month my sleeping habbits have changed and I was finding myself still up at 2-3am, only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I recently switched to 16mg and am feeling much better, although I still am up later than before I started vaping. I've only been at 16mg for 2 weeks and am already considering going lower in nic, especially in the evening.

I've always been an insomniac and vaping hasn't changed a thing for me. Although, I do sleep few hours more then I used too. Guess that's a good thing. Can't go on 2 hours of sleep anymore. Finally caught up to me.

Maybe I should get some low or zero nic to vape before bedtime. I get ~3 hrs at night & ~2 hrs in the afternoon during the week. But on the weekends I'll get 6 or 7 at night (hooray for sleeping in!), and don't usually take an afternoon nap.

God I hate getting older... until I hit ~40 I was good w/ just 3-4 hrs a night.

 

[Andy Thatcher]

Not much change for me.

I work till midnight and can be on call. Have the pleasure of having a 3 and 5 year holds so normally awake by 7. Sleep in on the weekends when I can but that rarely works out lol

Nope vaping has made no difference.

 

[ChinMullet]

Well, this thread explains my last week of insomnia. I've been vaping a lot before bed, and suspected it might be the cause.

 

[Shiryo]

Still been having issues... Go to bed at 5-6am and goto class a couple hours later, get home and keep sleeping. I went back to bed at 2pm and woke up around 6 :/

I seem to just want to stay up and vape. Nothing to do with the actual stuff im vaping, im just having fun lol. Seriously though if you just quit smoking its really more because of that. It can also be your nic level, it may be too high. All these are variables, once adjusted correctly - you will go back to a normal rhythm.
