Why Did I Fall Asleep in the Middle of the Day while on Mushrooms?

11 posts in this topic

I took 5 grams of mushrooms at 10:30 in the morning.  I had slept well the night before.  It started off as a really good trip that I still remember well.  I was awake for at least an hour.  Last thing I remember was I was in kind of a manic state and wanted to see how jogging would feel.  I wasn’t feeling tired at all, but my sitter said I immediately laid down and fell asleep

I woke up about 3 hours later in kind of a dissociated fugue state.  I had an experience I would describe as “coming into existence”.  It felt timeless, I had no past and no motivations.  I eventually remembered the year, month, day of the week, and the fact I had taken a drug.  I came to know that I had a past, vaguely sensed what it was, but felt that it was unimportant.  On the walk home my identity gradually came back to me, but I was saying things without feeling like it was me that was saying them

This experience was valuable in its own way, but I feel like I would’ve had an ego death if I had stayed awake.  Has anyone else fallen asleep like this?  I thought on 5 grams you could still stay awake and remember it.  I’m wondering if it was the high dose that caused me to fall asleep.  Do you think I would stay awake if I took slightly less?  My previous trip was 3.5 grams and was fairly mild for that dosage, which is why I wanted to try a full 5 for stronger effects.

I have "fallen asleep" on high level mushrooms (6g+). You did have an ego death, and such a strong one that "you" went completely offline. Say thanks to the mushroom and eat some again in a couple weeks.

@halfknots You think I wasn’t actually asleep?  That’s possible, but there was a solid 3 hours that I have no memory of.  I guess I remember having no ego and my ego coming back, but I don’t remember an experience of losing or transcending it

Tryptamines, mushrooms especially, do have a sedative quality. You can let the experience be what it is, no seeking or questioning required, and continue to explore.

@halfknots Ah ok, that makes sense.  I didn’t know mushrooms were a sedative, because in my 3.5 gram trip I was manic for 5 hours.  I appreciate my experience for what it was though, I just feel like I missed out on potentially the best part.  I’ll try 4 grams next time to see if I can remember it better

@Thought Art Was it on a high dose that you passed out?  Do you think lower doses are a way to avoid this?

Did you consumed dried shrooms? I ate 10 gr dried with 1 fresh lemon and %100 dark chocolate. Trip last almost 20 hours. I dont think it is because you have had high dosage. How many shroom trips have you done before and what were the dosages?

Ahaha, I simply meant I got tired and fell asleep. It was a low dose. I don’t think it was bad. Mushrooms can be weird. This was an extremely body heavy trip.

Do with fresh lemon and dark chocolate. It might Stay you awake. Stay in darkness and silence in your room. Don’t go out.
