Poor sleep when switching from analogue to vape?

[GeneBean]

Hi there.

It's been 3 days since I've smoked and I've been vaping instead. vaping 24mg liquid, probably as often as I'd smoke. Used to smoke 20 a day.

My sleep has been noticeably affected. It's been broken and this morning I've woken up at stupid o'clock. Did anyone else experience this and if so when can I expect a normal return to my sleep?

Between mood issues, poor sleep, weird dreams, and the constant want of a smoke, the first month was pretty rough for me. But, the first 2 are issues I always have, quitting just exacerbated the problems for a while. I found the quit smoking effects lasted about a month, but dropped off really quick after that.

I was the exact opposite. I slept very well off the bat. No more wheezing and hacking up a lung in the middle of the night. Sure, I wake up early (always have), but the sleep I'm getting is much more restful. Although, as I get older (I'm in my 50s), I do appreciate nap opportunities more and more.

24 mg nic kept me up sometimes till 5am. I switch now to a lower nic
after 3, then no nic juice after 9pm, and sleep much much MUCH better.

Yeah. I had that, too.

Funny thing is, I smoked and vaped for several weeks as I made the transition. The sleeping problems didn't show up until I had finally put'em down and then all of the sudden, I was staring at a dark ceiling for 3-5 hours a night.

It does pass, and in fact you're more likely to wake up at dumb o'clock when it does. My wife no longer complains about my snoring and I haven't slept like this since I was a teenager.

Had the same issue when I first began vaping along with some pretty weird dreams. Vets suggested I lower my evening Nic level...problem solved. Try some 18 mg at night.

Ain't that the truth. Us older dudes need our rest. Even with college football on last night, I was still bodily compelled to hit the sack before 10:00 pm and still slept until 6:30. And, it doesn't matter what time I turn in, I absolutely will be wide awake by 6:30.

Same thing happened to me when I started vaping. I had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. It lasted about 2 weeks or so then my sleeping pattern went back to normal. I started vaping at 24mg and I'm still at 24mg.

ETA: I stop vaping about 2 hours before going to bed.

Cool thanks for the help.

I used to have my last smoke about an hour before I went to bed but because the flavours are so damn tasty and addictive I'm vaping until I hit the sack, will try and stop vaping an hour before I hit the hay.

This article talks about sleeplessness and has some INCREDIBLY useful facts. You're sleeping issues probably stem from either quitting smoking or to much nicotine. It's normal for sleep rhythms to be disrupted after quitting smoking. It's also normal for people to overestimate how much nicotine they need to fill the void left from quitting analogs. I smoked over 1 1/2 pad and started at 24mg. Within a few days I got shaky and couldn't sleep for very long. After I stepped down, everything was fine.

Yep,,,,,,,,,I couldn't vape like a chimney at night until I switched to a lower nic at night (Nick at night,,,,,,,get it?? LOL)

I'm not kidding about the sleep issues though,,,,,,,they sucked.
