Shit man, I hate that. I just wait it out personally. Also, having sex helps, but if you don't have that convenient, even jerkin' it. And hey, if it doesn't work, at least you had fun trying.

It's a choice between weed and alcohol if you're desperate. Weed can just make the trip kick in harder, but some people find it helps them sleep. Either use one of tho

never really been a problem. My wife really struggles with this, and it makes things worse when I can just fall asleep. Even with my mind running like crazy I can pretty much remove myself from my body and enter a very sleep-like trance. If I am tripping hard, I can stay in that trance all night and wake up full rested while never having really "slept".
Meditation practice and heavy concentration to tune out the noise in your head can greatly help. Ever since I started getting into meditation, sleep at the end of a trip has never been a problem. First shut down the body, then eventually the mind will follow.
When you lay there and toss and turn, and think about how you arent sleeping, it doesnt help you get to sleep. For some reason my wife thinks that if she tosses and turns enough she will fall asleep (or maybe ill just knock her out)...that doesnt work, but simply put you just need to "trick" yourself into falling asleep. Once you figure it out, its not a problem to do again.

this is the most important time of your personal journey. you need to be interested though you are weary, something lasting can emerge, or at the very least you can attend the passage of time and the mystery of consciousness, glancing at this very emptiness most avoid with cringing. the treasure of the moment

This guy speaks the truth but if you're stubborn and really are desperate to go to sleep, neck some hypnotic benzos. 20mg of diazepam should do the trick.

I don't fight it and just stay up. You could take a hot shower then lay in bed. That usually helps.

i listen to music, forget about sleeping, its easier to sleep if you forget you weant to, you know? draw, go outside and look once more at the night sky, if you cant sleep may aswell accept it till you can i guess.

pop in one of your favorite movies, and ponder the deeper meanings. if your still awake after that, try another. i love to fall asleep to stargate, Chronicles of riddick, or Harry potter series.
(i know, i know, HARRY POTTER?????) well, fantasy movies seem to keep my trip up! and they are just fun!

I'm kind of annoyed by that feeling too. On my first acid trip everyone went of to sleep and I was by myself, and I didn't think I was still tripping. I was though, and almost went into a bad trip 8 hours into the damn thing. Turned on music, that just bothered me, couldn't sit still, couldn't close my eyes. I ended up walking out the door in my boxers and walking around my friends neighborhood... must have been a strange sight, some dude out walking around with huge pupils at 3 am in 40 degree weather in his damn boxers.

i find i am usually quite annoyed in the day time while doing normal things as well, often in the daytime I even feel tired. even more tired than at night in bed. the difference is in the daytime, i am conditioned to react to all this input, duties, driving, ritual behavior in public places...
at night, lying down, no ritual is necessary, i am finally free to be annoyed any way I like.

i have started using LSD a lot during the day... i feel like i can pull more out of the experience because I'm not tired the next day and i don't get frustrated with not being able to sleep. it makes the experience easier to integrate for me. gives me more of an after glow

I have this sometimes when I had a mushroomtrip. I just grab a book or I listen to my MP3 player. Just try to focus your thoughts on something else, on one certain thing. This will make your mind relax, at least it helped with me...

I can usually fall asleep pretty easily on lsd, and shrooms. I fully agree with gopenguins; ever since i began meditating, sleep after the trip is over is no problem. Just try laying in bed, with all your lights off, and try focusing heavily on your body sensations and just let your head clear - try not to move much. Soon enough, you're body will be lifted, and your head will soon follow, into a deep wonderous sleep

Yesterday I tripped on 500 MGS. I went to bed at 6 am. I've had some really hard time with lsa before. I loaded up 4 up episodes of family guy, hoping it might help. I couldn't keep my eyes open after 10 minutes. So I thought I was going to fall asleep, but one minute I was totally awake, but eyes were still closed. I was really disappointed about it. So I opened my eyes. Iwas surprised seeing it's white outside, I got up and watched the clock. It was 1.30 PM. I had no feeling of getting any sleep, but I wasn't tired at all.
I LSA The trip is just so easy to understand. It just floods you with understanding and love.

Drink some beers or take some shots. Always worked for me when I was younger and had to go to school the next day.

melatonin works, marijuana works but sometimes can heighten the trip. I reccomend waiting it out until you feel tired.

Never fails me.
Its handy to have some around, particularly if you're gonna get spun for a few days. I tripped for 3 days in a row .. I can never sleep on acid .. I just kept on redosing once the physical energy came back with minimal sleep in between (mental energy isn't too much of a problem as I always feel mentally energized afterwards). By the third day I ate 5 tabs and not much happened, and once I was relatively sobre (and my brain completely sieve like) and could not sleep for shit 4x5mg Diazepam knocked me out for like 16 hours
