Vaping causing sleep problems

[NickClark]

I'm sorry if a thread has already been posted about this or if this isn't the right place to post this, but here goes:

Ever since I started vaping a lot more than normal, I've been having trouble sleeping, today especially. I've noticed that if I vape while I'm in bed, I can not sleep. I have to literally force my eyes shut and that makes it impossible to fall asleep.

I have currently been awake for over 24 hours and I'm wondering if this is common amongst fellow vapers.

I use 18mg nicotine juice and I'm not for sure if the nicotine is the reason or not. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!

A lot pf people switch to very low or no nic for the evening. I vape at 3mg, so not a problem for me.

I would suggest lowering your nic level in the evenings when getting ready for bed. Even the patch if worn overnight can cause sleeplessness and/or REALLY bad dreams. a long time ago when I used the patch to try to quit, I didn't realize that and had some horrible nightmares.

I have just the opposite effect as does my wife we vape a e pipe and find it most relaxing and we a lot of times dose off right on the couch after a good vape.
I don't think its the vaping keeping you awake not knowing what else is going on in your life but might I suggest a e pipe with a soothing flavor such as Custards Revenge
or one of the pipe sauces out there JMO.

Right after a couple of weeks I figured out I needed to go to 0 nic after dinner.
Seems I would have difficulty sleeping and when I did...the dreams were bizarre !
There are many threads here re sleep and nic...most are probably in Health, Safety an E-Smoking
(try searching with : lucid dreams)

Quite odd too...always had that extra cigarette or two before jumping into bed before.

Yep, nicotine can do that. If I vape too much before bed I have trouble, even with a sleeping pill!

Try a lower nic at night as mentioned, I think you will find that will help.

When people with this problem smoked cigarettes, did they have the same results when smoking before going to bed? Vaping allegedly delivers less nicotine than smoking.

Call me crazy, but I enjoy the crazy nicotine dreams.

Vaping delivers nicotine less efficiently, but new vapers often use higher levels of juice that they may not need. It's a juggling game to find out what works best for each individual. I actually never have a problem with sleeping even when vaping right up until bedtime. I use 12 mg juice, but even back when I first started and was using 24 mg juice I didn't have a problem sleeping when vaping at night. However, SOME people might.

You're a big Stephen King and M. Night Shamalan (spell?) fan too right? hahahaha

For me, I've been better at not inappropriately just passing out when it gets late. I've been attributing that to actually breathing clean air all day and not living in a semi-functional cigarette haze... But it could be nicotine!

When I first started I found it difficult to fall asleep but this remedied itself in time. I must admit I have reduced my nic intake from 18 to 6mg over time because my delivery methods got better.

I also enjoy a good nic trip every once in a while. Some of the craziest most vivid dreams I've ever had

lol so hard at your avatar

When I used to smoke, I'd light one up when I was very tired...it helped me stay awake. Some people experience that effect from nicotine. Lower your nic, and it should help.

 

[misterholidayhouse]

There is no doubt for me. I have to stop vaping about an hour and a half before I go to bed or I'll be up for hours. I didn't have this problem with cigarettes as much but they also kept me up coughing and wheezing.. Don't miss those days. I do notice it is easier to go a couple hours without vaping than it ever was with cigs.

 

[WharfRat1976]

You are OD- ING on nicotine. Not too complex bruh.

 

[tomsa34]

I literally usually fall asleep with my mod on my chest or on my night stand, I never sleep very well even when I am totally beat. I wake up briefly every hour or so, take a puff off the mod and fall back to sleep. Rinse and repeat

Just switch to 12mg if you are using a tank. 6mg if you are using an RDA. I don't make any ejuice adjustments for later in the day.
Others are correct you are just too high on your nic level.
