Hey IDK what the best board for this would be, but I like you /ck/ and it's about putting things in your mouth that aren't penises

What would the consequences of sleeping forever? Basically just buying sleeping pills, then using them immediately when you get home from work and on weekends so you essentially don't exist. Would you go insane?

I have fucked up sleep habits, so I relatively frequently sleep immediately after getting home from work and stay asleep until the next day (with a brief waking period between 11-12, usually just long enough to drink something). I don't think I could do that multiple days in a row without pills. The most I've ever done is 2 days.
I will say that it is absolutely soul crushing to wake up and go to work, which you seemingly just left. I don't even hate my job but I don't want to only do that. I have no idea why you would WANT to completely eliminate all non-working hours.

>> No.12048100

You'll likely spend half the weekend awake buzzed out and unable to do much if you attempt that, and I'd be worried about side effects from the amounts you need to pass out for 56 hours.

I used to be addicted to sleeping pills. I was prescribed 7 Ambien (legally by one doc) as well as an array of benzos at one point. I took them constantly. Sort of like how alcoholics aren't just 24/7 asleep taking a sedative you function, you are just kinda out of it.

You get a lot of anterograde amnesia so people tell you you said and did things you don't remember at all and you get kinda used to it after a while.

Obviously it isn't good for you in many ways, but high dose sleeping pills is the best euphoria possible of any drug including heroin just because of how deeply soothing and comforting it is.

>>12048100
Nah you can get stuff done and you can mix em with uppers too.

If you took a whole bottle of sleeping pills, the modern kind, you don't die, you just go into a light coma for 2-3 days tops then wake up feeling amazingly refreshed.

sleep agents like ambien and lunesta act on the same GABA receptor as both alcohol and benzodiazepines. so it would be kind of like being drunk/drugged on those but without the effect of the drug.
it would be very unhealthy, OP. physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually unhealthy.
don't do it.

They are wayyyy more euphoric and different than either alcohol or benzos.

The first few times you take a couple its often trippy or hallucinogenic. It removes most of your inhibitions and also your ability to remember what you did later. You get an intense euphoria, hungry, horny, and eventually a bit sleepy but you can stay up. It kills any awareness of pain or discomfort, physical or emotional and gives you energy (paradoxically).

Here's a description I found of a new user to the drug (ambien):

>take 20mg on an empty stomach (two pills)
>within fifteen minutes, muscles relax so much that your body feels like a giant fluffy pillow
>you soon lose the ability to type coherent sentences on your keyboard and this becomes very funny in retrospect
>shortly therafter, you start hallucinating pretty colors
>music sounds incredible, movies are a feast for the eyes, novels are profound to the point of tears
>you wind up doing things like standing in front of a painting for an hour, opening and closing your hand, trying to catch the trees; or staring at a lamp and playing with the strands of color that drift slowly towards you
>feel very calm, happy, safe, and carefree
>eventually, come down and go off to sleepy land
>have pleasant, vivid dreams
>wake up feeling well-rested and satisfied
>look back at your computer history and laugh at all the silly shit you wrote the night before
Best three months of my life. Only blacked out once (and I was occasionally taking 50 to 60mg doses, which is just a waste) and all I did was just take a few more pills and watch a film. Never felt compelled to drive, go outside, or do anything stupid. Nothing compares to Ambien. I'm going to try to get a new prescription soon. It gave me a reason to live.

As someone who has a decent prescription to Vyvanse (for work) and sleeping pills/downers (for night), it's actually a pretty enjoyable existence provided you're not impacted by feelings of loneliness. Socially I'm worse than ever, but internet communities provide an adequate social net anyway.

What does it mean if you aren't depressed, sad, or whatever, but you still never leave your apartment or do anything with anyone, instead spending all your free time online? Not even playing games, just being on the internet. Is this more like agoraphobia or what? There's no real "fear" of leaving my apartment, it's more "why bother."

So like Ambien lasts for only 2-3 hours, it is a very brief high. Lunesta lasts maybe 4-5, less intense high spread out over longer, but once you fall asleep you generally stay asleep.

You don't feel like shit, you feel great lol.

>>12048242
Lunesta has a rather distinct metallic tang and is extremely bitter.

>>12048247
Like I did this for the better part of the decade tho. You definitely can. It wiped out a lot of unpleasant childhood memories for me. They are so much less intense now. It has its uses.

>>12048253
I used to mix Adderall and Ambien and sometimes other drugs and see if the uppers or downers would "win" e.g. if I would fall asleep or continue to get work done.

>>12048278
I got a prescription for Adderall then said I was having trouble falling asleep from it. Started from there. I didn't even really want the Adderall much, but I looked up on Erowid what Ambien did and it sounded great. It fucks up your digestion and immune system if you take it chronically at high doses.

Also you get crying jags from taking it sometimes, like intense bouts of dysphoria where you just let out all the sads at once.

>>12048304
Neither of those is as inner-peace inducing. Sure you are out of it, but only Ambien has the power to completely numb all pain, plus it makes you hungry + horny.

From a psychiatrist typically but any doctor can prescribe it. It is also sold clandestinely online.

I wouldn't recommend it if you just wanna abuse it. For it to actually work you have to use it sparingly, maybe 2-3 times a week max. I was taking 4-5 at a time then 1 when I woke up, 2-3 before any stressful event.

They are very euphoric and easy to abuse with very negative long term side effects (that don't show up with recommended infrequent use).

Ambien withdrawal is the WORST, most intense of any drugs I've experienced.

>> No.12048571

So as an example, like every 6 months or so on high-dose sedatives I would need a course of stomach antibiotics because my intestinal fauna balance would get messed up and I would have a lot of stomach discomfort and diarrhea.

Ambien acts as an acid-reducer (so does alcohol) which semi-relates into how it makes you hungry. It tells your gallbladder not to send bile I believe as well as makes you not feel full easily (far more than with Cannabis) and reduces (temporarily) acid secretion so when you STOP taking it you get severe acid reflux.

I also used to get really sick with colds and flus, way worse than they are now and it disturbed my blood pressure.

Yeah they fucking do man. You can totally take them recreationally. Alcohol and opiates are sedatives too. Do you think a heroin addict cares about taking a sedative in the morning? Why would an Ambien addict be any different. They both are euphoriants.

Opiates you have to constantly hike the dose whereas tolerance with Ambien develops fairly slowly.
