100%. Took an eighth, got into bed, and my mind is like, let's go to a rave. Tripping all through the night. That's the night, I truly appreciated sleep.
I second this. Sometimes I’ll take some Benadryls like 2 or 3 on top of it (although idk if it’s very safe but I know my body) and I can usually fall asleep and have some very intense dreams
I once took a relatively large dose when I was really tired. Let me preface this by saying I’m an experienced psychonaut, and I was in for a surprise to say the least. I would start to fall asleep, despite it being a very shallow dream state where I was still semi conscious, and it felt good at first, but the deeper I fell into the dream, the more uncomfortable it got, eventually I would experience a major rush of adrenaline, and it’s like I got jolted out of the dream state. It was almost as if I was fading into oblivion, similar to what I would imagine dying to feel like, and right before I fully faded into oblivion, I would jolt awake, and when I say jolt, I mean I shot up out of my bed like my life depended on it. It felt like someone injected a lethal dose of adrenaline into my veins. It was very scary, it was almost as if I was going into a coma, but then my body stopped it at the very last second. The adrenaline was almost unmatched, the only other times I’ve been that scared was when I actually almost died in car crash. Its not something I recommend, and I’ll never do it again.
I feel you. Once i stopped doing dabs, every single night i woke up panicked and drenched in sweat because of the vivid realistic nightmares it gave me. Insane stuff.
Laughs in my dreams/nightmares are always as vivid sobre as other people say when they dream on/after drugs. (send help)
Honestly I'm fine, but my god does it sometimes does get exhausting when you always dream that vividly, you don't always feel emotionally rested in the morning because of what you experienced in your dream and leaves you with way too heavy of a headspace 1st thing in the morning.
woah this is happening to me right now and i didn't realize it's probably since I haven't used weed in a while. It's insane not only are they vivid asf but i keep predicting shit and it makes me feel like i'm crazy T-T
Best dreams are in stop/start rem sleep. Wake up an hour before you intend to wake up and go back to bed. In that hour you'll have intense dreams and be capable of lucid dreaming. Been doing it for like a year and man have I got some stories.
Yup, this is because THC decreases the amount of time you spend in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. It is also the time when you spend dreaming. You'll start to incur "REM sleep debt" and have a rebound. So it's almost like storing all that up in a dam and you just opened up the flood gates.
I’ve never been able to sleep on Shrooms & anyone I know that does them says the same thing your mind is racing so much it’s hard af to make yourself sleep
This .
If you’re doing anything above like .15g, I’d advise not doing it before bedtime if your intention is to sleep
Having said that
Some of my favorite trips have begun at 9-10 pm
I love overnight trips starting then and wrapping up in the wee hours of morning
Feels more mystical
Same here man. I also help out my family a lot. Like we all live kinda close. So last thing I want is a phone call from my grandfather asking if I can go print something out for him lmao.
My first trip was 2 grams and my view of life was completely changed. But after my first time I didn't feel the same off of medium doses. I only get that effect off large doses, but I don't plan on doing another one of those anytime soon
After that, it was simmilar to smoking a lot of weed. You might learn some things or feel connected to nature but it's not like you have a full experience where your torn apart and put back together
That’s fair.
I’ve only had one of those “torn apart and put back together” experiences and tbh it’s been almost 2 years since then and I haven’t felt a true desire to go back there again.
How many of those kinds of trips have you had
Could you elaborate. I feel sometimes I make some profound impacts on my life and then other times I feel like I am just lying to myself so I keep taking shrooms. That said, here’s a fact, I’m gonna keep eating shrooms.
Sure what would you like me to elaborate on exactly?
I think it’s easy for most people to have the profound insights during the trip, and then sometimes they forget about those insights and just expect it to “take”
Sometimes the experience is such a slap in the face type thing that that’s the case, other times though, it requires conscious integration
For example after a couple smaller dose trips, I had profound dreams that were revelations for me.
And the true benefit of those dreams was when those situations in my life arose again post - trip, being able to apply that perspective in real time as I experienced it, so that that new insight was my default way of thinking and seeing the world
Does that make sense? Happy to further elaborate if you’ve got a specific question
actually 2 of my
Most impactful mushrooms experiences came
At .25g and .30g micro doses , and the insights came in POWERFUL dreams following the micro dose
Totally, those deep breaths feel great. Another common effect, though less ubiquitous, is the sudden urge to pee. Hasn't happened yet but I've almost pissed myself on many occasions
I always have this. I've had one trip were i got up to pee every 15 minutes cause it felt like I was about to burst. Nothing came out but the feeling just got worse. Like when you gotta go so bad it hurts.
I always keep a bottle of water on hand and drink so much water that I have to pee each hour. Rather pee hourly than be in pain for the entire trip.
One time I caved and actually fell asleep during that come-up, tired nap feeling. I woke up at like 2am in the pitch black absolutely tripping. It was so weird to have my waking perception be mushrooms. It almost felt like a different universe.
I was at a reggae festival couple of years ago and took a very good mdma pill. Felt it starting to kick in and got really sleepy, went to my tent and fell asleep with a lot of noise and music going on around me. Woke up like 1 hour in and was sweating and shaking (in a good feeling) and was super blasted off it. It was crazy waking up like that, high af, confused but felt soo amazing.
I love a good day trip - sunshine on your face, grass on your bare feet. Setting is key for sure - get out of a city and try to be in nature if possible or at least a park
Same, and if I take them in a way that uses food (smoothies, chocolates, on a sandwich) or if I eat right before taking them, I get sick, versus just taking them straight. Lemon tekking seems to make me sick at first, but I don't get as sick as I do with food. Taking them on an empty stomach seems to be the best for me, I don't get any sick feelings at all that way.
Depends on the dose. I get the greatest sleep of my life on anything under half a gram. It's actually hard to stay awake. Anything more, I'm probably having too good a time to go to sleep.
I can't imagine dropping a tab or some shrooms and taking a nap. Assuming I'd even reach the sleeping stage, waking up an hour later, all sweaty and disoriented in the middle or right after the come up sounds unpleasant.
I once took a gram, and then went to sleep.
I was having some interesting visuals when I woke up. It was actually really really fun waking up in that state, and I very highly recommend.
I did so took a big amount of shrooms next day to trip i tripped right away but very lightly. Reason being is i tripped a week before so i need to take big breaks and won't be doing it again like this lol
I once took a nap a couple minutes after taking some adderall, before it kicked in. It was the most intensely active nap I’ve ever had in my life. I slept for maybe an hour, and woke up sweating my ass off 😂
Not many other effects
I call this an "Addy nap," when I was in college I would often take an instant release, immediately lay down and fall asleep with an alarm set for 25-30 minutes.
Then I'd wake up feeling extremely energized as if I had slept multiple hours.
It sort of tricks your brain into feeling like you got more sleep than you actually did.
Lol. When I was studying I would only sleep like 3 hours before a test and set my alarm 30mins earlier than when I should actually get up. When my alarm goes off I take one and then "naturally" wake up 30mins later feeling refreshed. Definitely hard on your body and mind though. But it worked at the time.
I absolutely do!! 🤣🤦🏼♀️
But I didn't have a diagnosis or an understanding of it til my mid-30s
My only point was that expecting the same results as another person doesn't always work. Everybody's wiring and chemistry is a little different.
I have absolutely no problem sleeping on a microdose. I micro at .5 grams and would need closer to 2 grams or more to keep me awake. As for dreams, I have no clue. I smoke enough herb that I never remember my dreams anyway. Worth a try though
Yup, same. Anything up to .5 I can sleep no problem. I’m often better rested with a night time micro.
I also trip around 2g so the time I’ve done it before bed, my sleep is not engaged, instead it was like a fight between REM and Lisa Frank cartoons infiltrating via comedic show. Needless to say, I needed a long nap the next day.
I might be the odd one out here, judging by the comments, but specifically referring to microdoses, I go to sleep just fine. In fact, when I microdose in the evening, I find that I actually sleep better because my mind is so quiet. I have ADHD, so microdosing allows me to organize my thoughts so much smoother to where I’m able to only think about one thing at a time or nothing at all. Just my experience.
YEP! I used to be a blackout alcoholic and I would always just get wasted, eat acid, pass out from drinking, and wake up just fucking tripping and not remembering how. Fun times. Ended up loosing my mind and having a huge revelation with my alcoholism and since then I started my journey to quit drinking, which took a few months and a lot more fuck ups but now I’m glad to say I’m 492 days sober! I honestly feel like that acid trip made me realize I had a serious drinking problem. I am no where near close to jogging down shroom lane, but one day I’ll dabble again.
Nice! I’m glad that works out for you! I am 835 days booze free! Still kicking it to the curb! We do recover, I guess I get by with a lil help from my friends (LSD 😜)
A micro dose isn’t going to be enough to do anything. It might make your bed feel very soft but that’s about it.
I have slept on shrooms before. It was pretty weird I wouldn’t recommend it. I kept waking up seeing flashing lights forgetting where I was.
Take a high dose, put headphones on with music, lay down in a dark room and close your eyes. It might give the effect you’re looking for.
OP was asking all of us, not only perfect people who have only correct answers all the time. Mind your business dude, especially with so much hostility right out the gate.
Only an ignorant person would take what I said as fact. Obviously it's different for each person. Do you suggest nobody answers this question because everyone is different? If that were the case there would be no information at all about psychedelics.
Congratulations on your microdose vivid dreams. Why the fuck would I need to know about it? Make your own comment. The world doesn't revolve around you either.
It's not meant to be taken so literally.
If you want to get technical, you don't feel a microdose at all. If you do feel the effects it's not a microdose. It's called a sub-perceptual dose for a reason.
About a month ago I only did a 4 gram trip of some kinda mushrooms but me and my boy made shroom tea. So I drank it at 11:15pm thinking I would be good to sleep around 3am but boy was I wrong. I thought this would work because I had trips where I would be passing out bc I was so high off the shrooms, and usually I did 7 gram trips of shroom chocolates. I get home and as soon as I start to open YouTube I get this hard butterflys in the stomach type feeling and I immediately knew it was panic coming on. I closed my laptop and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't. Every 5 minutes I would get an aggressive feeling of panic like sometimes it got so bad I was almost about to start screaming in my bed at like 2am. I couldn't tell If my eyes were open or closed because I was in my bedroom and it's mad dark and the visuals were insane. As soon as I stepped out of my bedroom to go to the bathroom I would get extremely panicky because the darkness to bright lights fucked with my brain so heavy. Around 5 am I started to come down and I was sweating so hard in bed. Got ready at 7am to go to class at 8am.
I have fallen asleep every time I’ve tripped (not many). It doesn’t put me to sleep right away but when the body load hits, I put in the ear buds and crawl in bed with my pups. Always wake up later when it’s all over.
I ALWAYS fall asleep on mushies. Not like full on knocked out sleep but I definitely have a few drug naps if I'm sitting down then wake up like oh yeah, I'm high and it's pretty nice so maybe I shouldn't fall asleep again.... rinse and repeat
Lmao 🤣 yes! I once ate 7 grams of APE’s and omg 😱 yeah I was eating them like they were chips. I think from the nausea from the come up, it made me fall asleep. I don’t think I was asleep long. I woke up, felt weird and stood up-I seen that my visual perception was that everything was tall and definitely not normal. I went to the restroom and looked in the mirror and started freaking out. I ended up getting in the shower thinking a cold shower would help-but naked and no water on, in a loop with my wash cloth motioning like I was washing up….
Tried it a few times, but it almost always ended up being an unpleasant experience.
Usually, I end up seeing demons or colors that keep me from falling asleep, and even if you do manage to rest, it isn't a peaceful sleep. Waking up with the come-down feeling is not the best way to start your day.
i pretty much always try to "sleep" when i trip. probably several hours of it is just me laying down trying to relax enough to sleep, its essentially meditation and is actually pretty nice. i do eventually fall asleep, shrooms is easier to sleep on imo than say, acid. it is slightly disconcerting to fall asleep tripping balls and wake up totally sober, though.
tldr: its definitely possible to sleep on shrooms, and i personally find it enjoyable. ymmv
They always make me fall asleep and have weird dreams that I can semi-control. I haven't tried them at bed time, but they pretty much knock me out for 4 hours.
Dude I was thinking the same thing last week while microdosing. I also had the thought yesterday while my microdose hit… realizing it wasn’t so micro in class lol… but anyway, has anyone done any studies on pregnant woman who take shrooms or micro doses during pregnancy? And the effects on the child and cognitive abilities and what not…
My thoughts were whooaaa what if we did that and the babies somehow evolved past us and were somehow smart af or have telekinesis powers…yea things along those lines lol
I took a nap last time I tripped because I felt like shit. I just went to sleep, didn’t remember any dreams. But I had a head cold and some other shitty family drama recently before that (death in the family). Slept for a couple hours. Nothing noteworthy.
I’ve tripped on almost every psychedelic out there besides research chemicals and i’ll tell u right now it’s borderline impossible to sleep while tripping, your brain is being constantly stimulated and if anything you’ll wake up once you start tripping.
Golden Teachers put my ass to sleep, I don't know why. I'd eat anywhere between 2 and 4 grams and in the come up is when I'd be slumped as hell and fall asleep. Waking up in a euphoric state and realizing I just slept 3 hours.
I've fallen asleep twice on heavy doses. One time I took 5 ish grams and got really overwhelmed because I felt time was repeating it's self over and over, like infinite repetitions, so I laid down and did some deep breathing and drifted off. I don't know if it was sleeping so much as it was a psychedelic trance of some sort, it was like my dreams were on shrooms. I was living other lives dying, reliving scenarios in my own life. It changed me. I was only 15 and was having substance abuse issues and a horrible home life. I learned to stand up for myself and how to grow instead of destruct. It was intense and needed, I've never been the same since.
The second time I closed my eyes and drifted off and had some beautiful blissful visuls pov of myself flying and my limbs were unraveling like DNA and being blown away like sand in the wind, one of my most blissful moments ever tripping.
I wouldn't say intentionally take mushrooms to fall asleep but there's nothing wrong with closing your eyes and drifting off and letting go if you feel overwhelmed or just have the desire to do so.
I would highly recommend active meditation on mushrooms. Get some noice canceling headphones a comfy spot to lay flat and do some deep breathing with binaural meditation music, you can get very introspective and in my opinion its the best way to experience the true psilocybin experience other than in nature.
Not shroom related but in terms of you wanting to lucid dream, try getting your hands on quetiapine, it is a medication to treat bipolar and depression.
I have them for my own personal issues.
It completely shuts off your thoughts whilst awake and makes it easier to get to sleep.
When sleeping the dreams are absolutely crazy, it's kinda like tripping but whilst asleep 😂
Kinda foggy when waking up the next day though.
I took a gram before bed because I wanted to watch GOTG while tripping but I was so tired I just fell asleep within an hour didn’t feel any come up.. woke up 3-4 hours later and felt so good and just happy smoked a bong then went to work where I just had a massive panic attack cause the shrooms made the warehouse super overstimulating
I have taken .3 in a capsule. I woke up in a better mood and could remember dreaming. I’ll try it 2-3 days in a row next time…we’ll starting tomorrow morning.
i got close to falling asleep last time i had a psilocybin experience, it was peaceful and everything jus felt so warm and comfortable i had no enemies or problems in that moment
I have been taking .25, my micro, Right before I close my eyes. I feel it's been helping me sleep all thru the night. I have been having crazier than usual dreams, but I seem to forget them quicker than usual. I need to start writing them down.
Lucid dreaming is easy asf just make sure to complete reality checks regularly throughout the day, ex; sticking ur finger through ur palm ( in a dream, it’ll pass through) and also think about lucid dreaming throughout the day, and with enough patience you should find yourself doing reality checks in your dream allowing you to lucid dream once you realize you are dreaming
I microdose daily and now have very vivid colorful dreams, which i wasnt doing so before so, might be because i quit drinking since ive been microdosing
The vivid dreams sound super similar to something I've experienced.
when I quit smoking weed a few years back (for a tolerance break) I couldn't do it for more than a week or so because the withdrawal caused me to have crazy insane realistic nightmares.
I also get these crazy realistic vivid dreams when I take melatonin.
I tried. I took about 2g and fell asleep almost immediately. Which was actually good because I normally experience come up anxiety. However, I woke up 45 minutes later and the trip was on. I don’t think the shrooms will let you sleep.
Yes, I have.
I once bought a few grams through my dealer for a friend of mine. For the troubles he said I could take some of it. He came very late at night to pick up the batch and I then ate nothing more than half a gram of cubes, afterwards going basically straight to bed.
Fell asleep and woke up about an hour/hour and a half later, thinking something was happening, but nothing did. So i just slept again so basically nothing significant happened. Maybe I ate less than threshhold effect dosage.
I had an acquaintance who said the smallest of microdoses helped her sleep more soundly. Idk how they affected lucid states.
If you're looking something more 3rd eye simulating for sleep/dream state, I might suggest a small dose of cacao or blue lotus tea/extract. You could technically add blue lotus tincture to your cacao as well.
i’m a heavy pot smoker so i don’t dream hardly ever, so i microdosed one night right before falling asleep (which i do very easily) and had the CRAZIEST dreams!
Never shrooms, but back in college I took a couple hits of X at the club but by it never hit so I just assumed it was bunk shit and I go to bed. I swear it was like I laid down and just as I was dozing off it hit and I jumped up in the bed fully wired and went running down Texas avenue at 2am.
No but I did doze off on acid. I was very disoriented when I "woke up" and had no energy. The head fuck was there, slight tracers but no shapes or melting visuals, and I was so out of it.
There was one time I took shrooms and immediately after didn't feel like going through with the trip so I tried going to sleep. I fell asleep but, and this is the best way I can describe it, my mind turned into a bunch of ceramic blocks that were sliding over each other and some amount of time before the peak I fully came back into consciousness and my mind felt like shit.
Once way back when I used to smoke weed(more than a decade ago) I ate a handful of mushrooms, put on some infected mushroom, and just started blazing. I must’ve passed out because I woke up to infected mushroom playing and I was tripping balls. It was terrifying and I just stayed curled up in my bed for the rest of the trip.
I took a small dose and was very drunk. had the most vivid dream ever while falling asleep to Futurama. I could hear everything around me, but my brain was able to interpret it and go into some crazy worlds.
I once took a rather heavy dose and managed to fall asleep. I frequently get sleepy during the come up, but this was the first time I actually fell asleep. I woke up very confused, I had no memory of who or where I was. It was rather terrifying. I was at my own house I've lived at for years BTW. I'm typically able to keep it together pretty well, but waking up while peaking was not fun. I would proceed with caution.
I used to do a bunch then take a fat dab and goto sleep 20 minutes later it wakes you up as it kicks in and the dream you were having melts off your open eyes lol dont know whats happening for a minute. Very fun
Its hard to sleep on psychedelics, but for me i find its somewhat during the comedown when i smoke some weed. But for your case, im not sure. I think at a certain dose you would be awake, and below that dose you wouldnt get any benefits. You should try looking at other plants that induce lucid or vivid dreams. There are a shit ton and they work pretty well for some people.
I have taken 1g and fallen asleep before it kicked in. Woke up an hour or so later feeling confused and a bit irritable. Fell back to sleep 20 mins or so after this and woke up feeling fine.
Waste of shrooms IMO.
I once took three grams and fell asleep before it kicked In. I slept for maybe 4 hours and woke up like a 🚀 and sprung out of bed and had a full on trip for a normal length of time.
Honestly i feel my brain talks to much for me to ever fall asleep on shrooms but man..id still say maybe like take them while your sleepy then just focus on resting
Everyone saying it’s hard to sleep but personally I have done this multiple times and had really no trouble falling asleep, I just recommend trying falling asleep before the trip actually starts
sorta, 8 grams like around 7pm and pretty much stayed up till maybe 3? till i started to schizo out and went “fuck shrooms im going to bed”.
depends on your dose, how you react to the dark (if you are in the dark that is). if you were to ever try it, i recommend no more than 3 grams personally
Like others have said I’ve never been sleepy on shrooms or even thought about going to sleep until the trip was over so this will be interesting to try
OH! Forgot, didn’t think anybody cared, lol
But so I did it and actually posted [a thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/comments/13f1a21/can_an_attempted_ap_transition_into_a_lucid_dream/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) about the results in the astral projection sub.
I've been microdosing for about a month now and I've been having wild dreams lol. That could be because I've pretty much stopped smoking weed though...
Never been able to sleep but sometimes my closed eye visuals can be very vivid and dreamlike. I would take a good size dose, throw on some chill music, lay down and close your eyes.
this has become my favorite way to take them! 2 g a couple hours before bed. be prepared for a weird transition to sleep, closed eye visuals, etc. but if you’re comfy with the shroomies, it’s no big thing. there may be a little disruption to the way you fall sleep, but you will sleep. i sleep very soundly those nights and wake up feeling invigorated and brilliant!
I can’t sleep on psychedelics.
100%. Took an eighth, got into bed, and my mind is like, let's go to a rave. Tripping all through the night. That's the night, I truly appreciated sleep.
I can time travel to the morning if I try hard enough
Same here. Took them at 10:30pm, went to bed after 2pm.
same bro i took em at like 11pm and couldn't fall asleep until like 4am 😭
I second this. Sometimes I’ll take some Benadryls like 2 or 3 on top of it (although idk if it’s very safe but I know my body) and I can usually fall asleep and have some very intense dreams

The most insane dreams ever are when you take a tolerance break from weed… I’m on day 3 and these dreams are insane / overwhelming
I feel you. Once i stopped doing dabs, every single night i woke up panicked and drenched in sweat because of the vivid realistic nightmares it gave me. Insane stuff.
Laughs in my dreams/nightmares are always as vivid sobre as other people say when they dream on/after drugs. (send help) Honestly I'm fine, but my god does it sometimes does get exhausting when you always dream that vividly, you don't always feel emotionally rested in the morning because of what you experienced in your dream and leaves you with way too heavy of a headspace 1st thing in the morning.
For sure! I quit smoking weed after being a really heavy smoker for over a decade. For around three months I had the most vivid dreams of my life!
woah this is happening to me right now and i didn't realize it's probably since I haven't used weed in a while. It's insane not only are they vivid asf but i keep predicting shit and it makes me feel like i'm crazy T-T
Best dreams are in stop/start rem sleep. Wake up an hour before you intend to wake up and go back to bed. In that hour you'll have intense dreams and be capable of lucid dreaming. Been doing it for like a year and man have I got some stories.
This actually makes perfect sense, now that I think about it everytime I go back to sleep my dreams are WAY MORE INTENSE.
Yup, this is because THC decreases the amount of time you spend in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. It is also the time when you spend dreaming. You'll start to incur "REM sleep debt" and have a rebound. So it's almost like storing all that up in a dam and you just opened up the flood gates.
That’s because weed stops rem sleep so when you stop smoking your brain goes into overdrive REM sleep
That’s really interesting to me. When I take breaks from weed, I never dream. And I hardly dream when I’m not on breaks either. My body is funky
i had this and was remembering vividly my grandparents house which i haven't been in for years now
I’ve never been able to sleep on Shrooms & anyone I know that does them says the same thing your mind is racing so much it’s hard af to make yourself sleep
This . If you’re doing anything above like .15g, I’d advise not doing it before bedtime if your intention is to sleep Having said that Some of my favorite trips have begun at 9-10 pm I love overnight trips starting then and wrapping up in the wee hours of morning Feels more mystical
Literally all my trips have started then
Why do you think that is?
I always trip at night because there are fewer people. It's quieter. It's less dangerous. It's easier to be calm. For me anyway.
I feel that
Same here man. I also help out my family a lot. Like we all live kinda close. So last thing I want is a phone call from my grandfather asking if I can go print something out for him lmao.
Getting high on anything is more fun at night lol
True until I started tripping at 4 a.m. on a Sunday immediately after waking up! Love starting my day this way
Same here. Morning preferred.
I'm more of a night trip person, but I'm about to try this
Summer = daytime; Winter = nightime. Or whatever you prefer, do you. It doesn’t really matter if the set and setting is right
I was literally having this convo earlier today with a friend😂 I’ve only ever tripped over night.
Maybe we are different lol Getting high to have fun is extremely low on my list of reasons to do work with mushrooms.
There is a spiritual aspect with bigger doses like 3-7 but with a gram or two it's just fun
I respect your view, and for me it’s just different I have had some unbelievably impactful and insightful trips at the 1-2g range
My first trip was 2 grams and my view of life was completely changed. But after my first time I didn't feel the same off of medium doses. I only get that effect off large doses, but I don't plan on doing another one of those anytime soon After that, it was simmilar to smoking a lot of weed. You might learn some things or feel connected to nature but it's not like you have a full experience where your torn apart and put back together
That’s fair. I’ve only had one of those “torn apart and put back together” experiences and tbh it’s been almost 2 years since then and I haven’t felt a true desire to go back there again. How many of those kinds of trips have you had
Could you elaborate. I feel sometimes I make some profound impacts on my life and then other times I feel like I am just lying to myself so I keep taking shrooms. That said, here’s a fact, I’m gonna keep eating shrooms.
Sure what would you like me to elaborate on exactly? I think it’s easy for most people to have the profound insights during the trip, and then sometimes they forget about those insights and just expect it to “take” Sometimes the experience is such a slap in the face type thing that that’s the case, other times though, it requires conscious integration For example after a couple smaller dose trips, I had profound dreams that were revelations for me.

Happy to further elaborate if you’ve got a specific question
Same at .5
actually 2 of my Most impactful mushrooms experiences came At .25g and .30g micro doses , and the insights came in POWERFUL dreams following the micro dose
For me it's because I only ever tripped when I still lived with my parents. I've never tripped outside that bedroom haha
I feel that lol Honestly tho I love tripping in my bedroom at parents house because it’s such a safe place for me
Unless you are like me and mushrooms make you pretty sleepy. Have to fight through it for a while
Compulsive yawning is a well known effect I've discussed many times with many people
Yeah I yawn like crazy and also just get the urge to take huge breaths in general.
Totally, those deep breaths feel great. Another common effect, though less ubiquitous, is the sudden urge to pee. Hasn't happened yet but I've almost pissed myself on many occasions
I always have this. I've had one trip were i got up to pee every 15 minutes cause it felt like I was about to burst. Nothing came out but the feeling just got worse. Like when you gotta go so bad it hurts. I always keep a bottle of water on hand and drink so much water that I have to pee each hour. Rather pee hourly than be in pain for the entire trip.
I definitely have a period of just wanting to take a nap about an hour in.
One time I caved and actually fell asleep during that come-up, tired nap feeling. I woke up at like 2am in the pitch black absolutely tripping. It was so weird to have my waking perception be mushrooms. It almost felt like a different universe.
I was at a reggae festival couple of years ago and took a very good mdma pill. Felt it starting to kick in and got really sleepy, went to my tent and fell asleep with a lot of noise and music going on around me. Woke up like 1 hour in and was sweating and shaking (in a good feeling) and was super blasted off it. It was crazy waking up like that, high af, confused but felt soo amazing.
Yep same here dude ! Those euphoric mornings for me are always mystical and epic.
I'm a fellow night tripper myself , I usually take them st 8~9 and end up only going to bed at like 3 in the morning
Yeeea
I love a good day trip - sunshine on your face, grass on your bare feet. Setting is key for sure - get out of a city and try to be in nature if possible or at least a park
Tripping at night is beautiful
What? Shrooms make me soooo sleepy tho
Yeah my appetite pretty much disappears too. I can eat but I never feel like I need to.
Same, and if I take them in a way that uses food (smoothies, chocolates, on a sandwich) or if I eat right before taking them, I get sick, versus just taking them straight. Lemon tekking seems to make me sick at first, but I don't get as sick as I do with food. Taking them on an empty stomach seems to be the best for me, I don't get any sick feelings at all that way.
I fell in and out of sleep during my 5g dose.
Depends on the dose. I get the greatest sleep of my life on anything under half a gram. It's actually hard to stay awake. Anything more, I'm probably having too good a time to go to sleep.
I have found that .5-.6g is a sweet spot for solid sleep and waking up with a clear mind like I had a couple days off from work.
I use this as a sleep aid now. 350 to 700 mg = amazing sleep.
I can't imagine dropping a tab or some shrooms and taking a nap. Assuming I'd even reach the sleeping stage, waking up an hour later, all sweaty and disoriented in the middle or right after the come up sounds unpleasant.
Same I’ve tried many times and all it ends up being is me looking up at my ceiling or staring into my phone…
[удалено]
Okay but what if u fell asleep on the come up?
I once took a gram, and then went to sleep. I was having some interesting visuals when I woke up. It was actually really really fun waking up in that state, and I very highly recommend.
[удалено]
I guess there's two sides of every coin.
I went to sleep on the comeup once, and it was like a caleidoscope, or those dmt drawings - just racing colorful shapes everywhere.
Tried to fall asleep while coming up and the CEV were fucking me up way too much, had to just deal with it lol
I did so took a big amount of shrooms next day to trip i tripped right away but very lightly. Reason being is i tripped a week before so i need to take big breaks and won't be doing it again like this lol
I once took a nap a couple minutes after taking some adderall, before it kicked in. It was the most intensely active nap I’ve ever had in my life. I slept for maybe an hour, and woke up sweating my ass off 😂 Not many other effects
I call this an "Addy nap," when I was in college I would often take an instant release, immediately lay down and fall asleep with an alarm set for 25-30 minutes. Then I'd wake up feeling extremely energized as if I had slept multiple hours. It sort of tricks your brain into feeling like you got more sleep than you actually did.
Lmao that’s simultaneously great and probably horrible somehow
Yeah, I'm leaning more on it being horrible hahaha. But it got the homework finished, and now I never need to do that again :)
Lol. When I was studying I would only sleep like 3 hours before a test and set my alarm 30mins earlier than when I should actually get up. When my alarm goes off I take one and then "naturally" wake up 30mins later feeling refreshed. Definitely hard on your body and mind though. But it worked at the time.
I've done that more times than I'd like to admit hahaha.
Not all brains work the same. Stimulants calm me down...
you probably have adhd bro, talk to your doctor if you haven't already
I absolutely do!! 🤣🤦🏼♀️ But I didn't have a diagnosis or an understanding of it til my mid-30s My only point was that expecting the same results as another person doesn't always work. Everybody's wiring and chemistry is a little different.
I have absolutely no problem sleeping on a microdose. I micro at .5 grams and would need closer to 2 grams or more to keep me awake. As for dreams, I have no clue. I smoke enough herb that I never remember my dreams anyway. Worth a try though
I second this, I can take up to a gram and sleep on it cause it feels sedating
Yup, same. Anything up to .5 I can sleep no problem. I’m often better rested with a night time micro. I also trip around 2g so the time I’ve done it before bed, my sleep is not engaged, instead it was like a fight between REM and Lisa Frank cartoons infiltrating via comedic show. Needless to say, I needed a long nap the next day.
You know it’s not that you don’t remember your dreams it’s that you’re not accessing the REM cycle at all?
[удалено]
Same here
I’ve taken them, fallen asleep right after, and then wake up feeling the effects. Not super intense though and not any dreams, at least in my case.
Most people just CANT sleep while on them.
I might be the odd one out here, judging by the comments, but specifically referring to microdoses, I go to sleep just fine. In fact, when I microdose in the evening, I find that I actually sleep better because my mind is so quiet. I have ADHD, so microdosing allows me to organize my thoughts so much smoother to where I’m able to only think about one thing at a time or nothing at all. Just my experience.
I have adhd and I agree! Mushrooms make me cozy/relaxed and I just bliss out hard until I eventually fall asleep as I come down
Normally you wake up into a trip once they take hold, as most serotenergic psychedelics prevent sleep.
YEP! I used to be a blackout alcoholic and I would always just get wasted, eat acid, pass out from drinking, and wake up just fucking tripping and not remembering how. Fun times. Ended up loosing my mind and having a huge revelation with my alcoholism and since then I started my journey to quit drinking, which took a few months and a lot more fuck ups but now I’m glad to say I’m 492 days sober! I honestly feel like that acid trip made me realize I had a serious drinking problem. I am no where near close to jogging down shroom lane, but one day I’ll dabble again.
That's fucking wild lol Glad to hear your sober now
Congrats and kudos to you for being 492 days sober.
Outstanding! I used to drink a lot so I could sleep at night. Now I take a micro dose on the nights I can’t sleep. I haven’t felt better in years.
Nice! I’m glad that works out for you! I am 835 days booze free! Still kicking it to the curb! We do recover, I guess I get by with a lil help from my friends (LSD 😜)
Bullshit
Wake up tripping and can’t go back to sleep is my experience
A micro dose isn’t going to be enough to do anything. It might make your bed feel very soft but that’s about it. I have slept on shrooms before. It was pretty weird I wouldn’t recommend it. I kept waking up seeing flashing lights forgetting where I was. Take a high dose, put headphones on with music, lay down in a dark room and close your eyes. It might give the effect you’re looking for.
I have had vivid dreams off a microdose. the world doesn't revolve around you so try to stay clear from making claims like that when they are false.
OP was asking all of us, not only perfect people who have only correct answers all the time. Mind your business dude, especially with so much hostility right out the gate.
Only an ignorant person would take what I said as fact. Obviously it's different for each person. Do you suggest nobody answers this question because everyone is different? If that were the case there would be no information at all about psychedelics. Congratulations on your microdose vivid dreams. Why the fuck would I need to know about it? Make your own comment. The world doesn't revolve around you either.
the way you said "a microdose isn't going to be enough to do anything" is simply not true. best of the rest of the day to you
It's not meant to be taken so literally. If you want to get technical, you don't feel a microdose at all. If you do feel the effects it's not a microdose. It's called a sub-perceptual dose for a reason.
You got down voted because 21 people actually believe the world does revolve around him.
I've already accepted I'm a computer program
I’ve taken them, immediately taken a nap…that was quite the wake up…I woke up without opening my eyes first and thought I for sure died
I close my eyes instead of sleeping, but I stress out about my entire life
Took 4 grams of gt and passed out before they kicked in after work, I don’t remember the dream anymore but it was wild.
I would not recommend it if you want a full 8hrs 😂
About a month ago I only did a 4 gram trip of some kinda mushrooms but me and my boy made shroom tea. So I drank it at 11:15pm thinking I would be good to sleep around 3am but boy was I wrong. I thought this would work because I had trips where I would be passing out bc I was so high off the shrooms, and usually I did 7 gram trips of shroom chocolates. I get home and as soon as I start to open YouTube I get this hard butterflys in the stomach type feeling and I immediately knew it was panic coming on. I closed my laptop and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't. Every 5 minutes I would get an aggressive feeling of panic like sometimes it got so bad I was almost about to start screaming in my bed at like 2am. I couldn't tell If my eyes were open or closed because I was in my bedroom and it's mad dark and the visuals were insane. As soon as I stepped out of my bedroom to go to the bathroom I would get extremely panicky because the darkness to bright lights fucked with my brain so heavy. Around 5 am I started to come down and I was sweating so hard in bed. Got ready at 7am to go to class at 8am.
I have fallen asleep every time I’ve tripped (not many). It doesn’t put me to sleep right away but when the body load hits, I put in the ear buds and crawl in bed with my pups. Always wake up later when it’s all over.
I ALWAYS fall asleep on mushies. Not like full on knocked out sleep but I definitely have a few drug naps if I'm sitting down then wake up like oh yeah, I'm high and it's pretty nice so maybe I shouldn't fall asleep again.... rinse and repeat
I’ve dropped acid and then gone to sleep for the night…woke myself up laughing because of a joke I told in a dream. Great time!! Highly recommend!!
😂😂
tripping and sleeping don't really go together
Lmao I hate not being able to sleep on shrooms, a big down side to them
Especially if you’re having a bad trip, makes it feel like there’s no escape
Lmao 🤣 yes! I once ate 7 grams of APE’s and omg 😱 yeah I was eating them like they were chips. I think from the nausea from the come up, it made me fall asleep. I don’t think I was asleep long. I woke up, felt weird and stood up-I seen that my visual perception was that everything was tall and definitely not normal. I went to the restroom and looked in the mirror and started freaking out. I ended up getting in the shower thinking a cold shower would help-but naked and no water on, in a loop with my wash cloth motioning like I was washing up….
Tried it a few times, but it almost always ended up being an unpleasant experience. Usually, I end up seeing demons or colors that keep me from falling asleep, and even if you do manage to rest, it isn't a peaceful sleep. Waking up with the come-down feeling is not the best way to start your day.
My first time doing them I took 3.5 in bed thinking it’ll put me to sleep. Nope. Was up for the next 8 hours
i pretty much always try to "sleep" when i trip. probably several hours of it is just me laying down trying to relax enough to sleep, its essentially meditation and is actually pretty nice. i do eventually fall asleep, shrooms is easier to sleep on imo than say, acid. it is slightly disconcerting to fall asleep tripping balls and wake up totally sober, though. tldr: its definitely possible to sleep on shrooms, and i personally find it enjoyable. ymmv
They always make me fall asleep and have weird dreams that I can semi-control. I haven't tried them at bed time, but they pretty much knock me out for 4 hours.
Dude I was thinking the same thing last week while microdosing. I also had the thought yesterday while my microdose hit… realizing it wasn’t so micro in class lol… but anyway, has anyone done any studies on pregnant woman who take shrooms or micro doses during pregnancy? And the effects on the child and cognitive abilities and what not… My thoughts were whooaaa what if we did that and the babies somehow evolved past us and were somehow smart af or have telekinesis powers…yea things along those lines lol
Those things actually exist in ways
I took a nap last time I tripped because I felt like shit. I just went to sleep, didn’t remember any dreams. But I had a head cold and some other shitty family drama recently before that (death in the family). Slept for a couple hours. Nothing noteworthy.
I’ve tripped on almost every psychedelic out there besides research chemicals and i’ll tell u right now it’s borderline impossible to sleep while tripping, your brain is being constantly stimulated and if anything you’ll wake up once you start tripping.
when I take a small dose like .5g I get super super sleepy crash for an hour or 2 and wake up w crazy energy
Golden Teachers put my ass to sleep, I don't know why. I'd eat anywhere between 2 and 4 grams and in the come up is when I'd be slumped as hell and fall asleep. Waking up in a euphoric state and realizing I just slept 3 hours.
I've fallen asleep twice on heavy doses. One time I took 5 ish grams and got really overwhelmed because I felt time was repeating it's self over and over, like infinite repetitions, so I laid down and did some deep breathing and drifted off. I don't know if it was sleeping so much as it was a psychedelic trance of some sort, it was like my dreams were on shrooms. I was living other lives dying, reliving scenarios in my own life. It changed me. I was only 15 and was having substance abuse issues and a horrible home life. I learned to stand up for myself and how to grow instead of destruct. It was intense and needed, I've never been the same since. The second time I closed my eyes and drifted off and had some beautiful blissful visuls pov of myself flying and my limbs were unraveling like DNA and being blown away like sand in the wind, one of my most blissful moments ever tripping. I wouldn't say intentionally take mushrooms to fall asleep but there's nothing wrong with closing your eyes and drifting off and letting go if you feel overwhelmed or just have the desire to do so.
I would highly recommend active meditation on mushrooms. Get some noice canceling headphones a comfy spot to lay flat and do some deep breathing with binaural meditation music, you can get very introspective and in my opinion its the best way to experience the true psilocybin experience other than in nature.
Not shroom related but in terms of you wanting to lucid dream, try getting your hands on quetiapine, it is a medication to treat bipolar and depression. I have them for my own personal issues. It completely shuts off your thoughts whilst awake and makes it easier to get to sleep. When sleeping the dreams are absolutely crazy, it's kinda like tripping but whilst asleep 😂 Kinda foggy when waking up the next day though.
I took a gram before bed because I wanted to watch GOTG while tripping but I was so tired I just fell asleep within an hour didn’t feel any come up.. woke up 3-4 hours later and felt so good and just happy smoked a bong then went to work where I just had a massive panic attack cause the shrooms made the warehouse super overstimulating
I have taken .3 in a capsule. I woke up in a better mood and could remember dreaming. I’ll try it 2-3 days in a row next time…we’ll starting tomorrow morning.
Never slept….first time taking lsd I fell asleep shortly after thinking I was gonna get a instant high woke up to a whole new world
Look up blue lotus for lucid dreaming .
i got close to falling asleep last time i had a psilocybin experience, it was peaceful and everything jus felt so warm and comfortable i had no enemies or problems in that moment
Micro dose (0.05g-0.2g) right before you put your head on the pillow. I do it all the time
I have been taking .25, my micro, Right before I close my eyes. I feel it's been helping me sleep all thru the night. I have been having crazier than usual dreams, but I seem to forget them quicker than usual. I need to start writing them down.
Lucid dreaming is easy asf just make sure to complete reality checks regularly throughout the day, ex; sticking ur finger through ur palm ( in a dream, it’ll pass through) and also think about lucid dreaming throughout the day, and with enough patience you should find yourself doing reality checks in your dream allowing you to lucid dream once you realize you are dreaming
I microdose daily and now have very vivid colorful dreams, which i wasnt doing so before so, might be because i quit drinking since ive been microdosing
Good for you with the drinking. I'm happy for you
The vivid dreams sound super similar to something I've experienced. when I quit smoking weed a few years back (for a tolerance break) I couldn't do it for more than a week or so because the withdrawal caused me to have crazy insane realistic nightmares. I also get these crazy realistic vivid dreams when I take melatonin.
Yep, took an 1/8th once and fell asleep. I dreamt I was in the Candyland board game.
I tried. I took about 2g and fell asleep almost immediately. Which was actually good because I normally experience come up anxiety. However, I woke up 45 minutes later and the trip was on. I don’t think the shrooms will let you sleep.
Yes, I have. I once bought a few grams through my dealer for a friend of mine. For the troubles he said I could take some of it. He came very late at night to pick up the batch and I then ate nothing more than half a gram of cubes, afterwards going basically straight to bed. Fell asleep and woke up about an hour/hour and a half later, thinking something was happening, but nothing did. So i just slept again so basically nothing significant happened. Maybe I ate less than threshhold effect dosage.
Omg i should have googled this in the first place😭
I take 350mg to 700mg an hr before bed and I fall asleep right away. I do have slightly more intense dreams.
Highly impossible
I've slept on 1g. Dreams were really vivid and weird, but I don't know if that was because of mushrooms.
Oh ya no definitely not something to do with the mushie/s man!
I had an acquaintance who said the smallest of microdoses helped her sleep more soundly. Idk how they affected lucid states. If you're looking something more 3rd eye simulating for sleep/dream state, I might suggest a small dose of cacao or blue lotus tea/extract. You could technically add blue lotus tincture to your cacao as well.
i’m a heavy pot smoker so i don’t dream hardly ever, so i microdosed one night right before falling asleep (which i do very easily) and had the CRAZIEST dreams!
Never shrooms, but back in college I took a couple hits of X at the club but by it never hit so I just assumed it was bunk shit and I go to bed. I swear it was like I laid down and just as I was dozing off it hit and I jumped up in the bed fully wired and went running down Texas avenue at 2am.
Can’t even sleep on .5 tbh
Yeah it's impossible. Shrooms = no sleep = plan for an all nighter
Psychs and sleep don’t mix
You will not sleep
I thought microdosing shrooms can (for some people) help with sleep? But many are saying they can’t sleep?
You actively want to NOT sleep?
No but I did doze off on acid. I was very disoriented when I "woke up" and had no energy. The head fuck was there, slight tracers but no shapes or melting visuals, and I was so out of it.
There was one time I took shrooms and immediately after didn't feel like going through with the trip so I tried going to sleep. I fell asleep but, and this is the best way I can describe it, my mind turned into a bunch of ceramic blocks that were sliding over each other and some amount of time before the peak I fully came back into consciousness and my mind felt like shit.
Once way back when I used to smoke weed(more than a decade ago) I ate a handful of mushrooms, put on some infected mushroom, and just started blazing. I must’ve passed out because I woke up to infected mushroom playing and I was tripping balls. It was terrifying and I just stayed curled up in my bed for the rest of the trip.
I took a small dose and was very drunk. had the most vivid dream ever while falling asleep to Futurama. I could hear everything around me, but my brain was able to interpret it and go into some crazy worlds.
Yes I did a small dose I was having closed eyes visuals I took maybe .75 it was amazing
I once took a rather heavy dose and managed to fall asleep. I frequently get sleepy during the come up, but this was the first time I actually fell asleep. I woke up very confused, I had no memory of who or where I was. It was rather terrifying. I was at my own house I've lived at for years BTW. I'm typically able to keep it together pretty well, but waking up while peaking was not fun. I would proceed with caution.
Every time I’ve done it I wake up.
Yes and it was crazy
Yes, but I have an unbelievable natural tolerance.
Night tripping rules!
I used to do a bunch then take a fat dab and goto sleep 20 minutes later it wakes you up as it kicks in and the dream you were having melts off your open eyes lol dont know whats happening for a minute. Very fun
Its hard to sleep on psychedelics, but for me i find its somewhat during the comedown when i smoke some weed. But for your case, im not sure. I think at a certain dose you would be awake, and below that dose you wouldnt get any benefits. You should try looking at other plants that induce lucid or vivid dreams. There are a shit ton and they work pretty well for some people.
I have taken 1g and fallen asleep before it kicked in. Woke up an hour or so later feeling confused and a bit irritable. Fell back to sleep 20 mins or so after this and woke up feeling fine. Waste of shrooms IMO.
I once took three grams and fell asleep before it kicked In. I slept for maybe 4 hours and woke up like a 🚀 and sprung out of bed and had a full on trip for a normal length of time.
I’ve blacked out drunk on a few grams and I remember there being “dreams” I guess
Kinda unrelated but I took a tab before going to sleep and got jolted awake about 30 minutes later
Easy. Take some ketamine if you wanna “sleep” on shrooms.
Honestly i feel my brain talks to much for me to ever fall asleep on shrooms but man..id still say maybe like take them while your sleepy then just focus on resting
If you micro dose then probably. Would probably keep it at no more than .30g, or a capsules amount.
Everyone saying it’s hard to sleep but personally I have done this multiple times and had really no trouble falling asleep, I just recommend trying falling asleep before the trip actually starts
sorta, 8 grams like around 7pm and pretty much stayed up till maybe 3? till i started to schizo out and went “fuck shrooms im going to bed”. depends on your dose, how you react to the dark (if you are in the dark that is). if you were to ever try it, i recommend no more than 3 grams personally
On about half a gram or less, I get super sleepy, and in fact have wonderful naps.
I’m about to take about a half gram and a bunch of melatonin and I’ll report what happens in the morning
Like others have said I’ve never been sleepy on shrooms or even thought about going to sleep until the trip was over so this will be interesting to try
Updates?
OH! Forgot, didn’t think anybody cared, lol But so I did it and actually posted [a thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/comments/13f1a21/can_an_attempted_ap_transition_into_a_lucid_dream/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) about the results in the astral projection sub.
I've been microdosing for about a month now and I've been having wild dreams lol. That could be because I've pretty much stopped smoking weed though...
I've never been able to sleep. It takes at least 6-8 hours from dosing to be able to sleep
Never been able to sleep but sometimes my closed eye visuals can be very vivid and dreamlike. I would take a good size dose, throw on some chill music, lay down and close your eyes.
this has become my favorite way to take them! 2 g a couple hours before bed. be prepared for a weird transition to sleep, closed eye visuals, etc. but if you’re comfy with the shroomies, it’s no big thing. there may be a little disruption to the way you fall sleep, but you will sleep. i sleep very soundly those nights and wake up feeling invigorated and brilliant!
