Psilocybin and insomnia

I was wondering if anybody else has the same phenomena I do, but once I drop my mush I can't really sleep for upwards of 12 hours afterwards. Even if I feel completely baseline again, I still can't get any shuteye, I toss and turn all evening in 1/2 hour bouts of sleep and I feel terribly restless. Sleeping while still high is right out of the question. I've never really seen this listed as a side-effect of psilocybin, but I was wondering if i was alone in this. it happens every time, without fail.

nah, i sleep like a baby when I comedown, but I always smoke a blunt, so that might have something to do with it.

I have this problem. It reminds me exactly of the insomnia I get when I tried SSRIs for depression. Probably something to do with both chemicals screwing with your seratonin system.
-------------------- "A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations... Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed... The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..." President Dwight Eisenhower, 1953

sometimes i wonder if anyone has the same "problem" i have.. i have fallen asleep during the peak of mushroom trips, only on very intense trips, on more than one occasion. i find it very difficult to stay awake if i close my eyes and keep to myself.
psyloc(yb)in makes me very drowsy.

I felt like falling asleep during the comeup. I felt completely exhausted, so I just closed my eyes and cuddled up. When the trip was over, I couldn't sleep to save my life.

I fell asleep on a strong LSA trip. Approximately 1000 morning glory seeds. Cold water filtration method for some murky water. I drank it and started Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I woke up a few hours later asleep on the floor and tired as fuck.

I generally trip at night, then I get this insomnia exactly as you describe it after coming down. I just think of it as part of the trip though. You come down and have a lot to think about, so you contemplate for a while, maybe do some writing. Trip nights are pretty much the only nights where I stay up to see the sunrise, then it's a new day. Time to start applying whatever you learned on the trip. (this is directed toward lowercase, not strongbad. bah quick reply.)

I have this problem. Keep some benzos, ambien, or diphenhydramine around. Pop on your way down and you can fall asleep before you are completely down (i like this cuz i hate the tail, and love CEVs serenading me as i drift off). Took an ambien during a peak once and was knocked out.

like someone else mentioned, I would recommend smoking some good ol' mary during the comedown. I do tend to stay up all night even after my trips tho, but I do that on normal days anyway. I think the reason you may be staying up all night is because after the trip everything just seems so interesting. Maybe you see things in a new way and when u go to sleep u put all this new found interest in life and other stuff aside. At least i feel thats the reason why i tend to stay up all night after a trip.
