Sleep troubles

[Rocketpunk]

If you really want to fall asleep, get over the counter diphendramine (aka Sominex, "night time sleep aids", etc), 50 mg, gelcaps. I had a horrible time falling and staying asleep period, even before vaping. I no longer drink caffeine... if I do, I do it in tiny, tiny amounts. Just too sensitive. When I want to go to sleep, I pop two of those, and it's nighty-night in about 30 to 45 minutes. Only downside is I'm super groggy in the mornings. Ironic in that I can't touch coffee.

Dyphendramine has the opposite effect on me and I stay wide awake! Boy was I mad the middle of the night that I found that one out lol. For me it's the doxylamine succhinate helps. (Unisom or generic, also the sleep-aid found in Nyquil)

Ok - I have been fortunate - I basically found that I am sleeping better. Less waking up - other than the washroom trip because of all the water - but I just feel I am getting a more restful sleep. Maybe because I am breathing easier?

I guess what I don't understand is if a person smoked cigarettes - right up until bedtime - why is vaping different? You would have still been getting nicotine. So - my take on this would be that it is more a result of withdrawal from all the "other" stuff in cigarettes.

Yeah, experienced difficulty sleeping as well the first week or so after quitting real cigarettes. It was actually pleasant because I knew some changes were taking place in my body. I remedied it sometimes with beer, works every time LOL

I've been off cigarettes for about a year and a half and still ocassionally find myself having trouble falling asleep. I found that if I just didn't vape about an hour before bed it was ok. I'm using 36mg liquid and can really feel it if I'm just laying in bed chain vaping watching tv! NyQuil realeased a product called Zquil that works wonders! One thing I do miss about the first month quoting/starting to cape is the lucid dreams!!

When I have sleep trouble, I darken my room, put on loose comfies, turn on ambient sounds(rainfall for me), and play solitaire on my laptop. Usually within 30 minutes or less, I'm down. I have severe insomnia due to serotonin/dopamine deficiencies.
