Side effects - Mushrooms and Sleep-Related Side Effects

[mordecai8614]

SWIM was wondering if anyone out there has experienced sleeping side-effects (long-term or short-term) after taking mushrooms??

SWIM took some mushrooms 5 nights ago. While it was not his first time, it may have been his first time taking this species (which is unknown). Anyway, prior to taking the shrooms, SWIM slept GREAT. It was never a problem falling asleep, staying asleep, and having a full nights rest. After hearing of all the sleeping disorders out there and their commonality, SWIM was kind of proud of his "sleep-life".

Since he took those shrooms though, this hasn't been the case. It's now taking an extremely long time to fall asleep, and stay asleep. For instance, tonight SWIM went to bed at 11:30 p.m.. He watched TV for about a half hour, turned it off and tried going to sleep. It took about 45 minutes of just laying there to fall asleep (very rare for SWIM). At 3:00 a.m. he woke, unable to fall back asleep. It's now 3:50 as SWIM types this.

So has anyone else felt these side-effects of mushrooms?? Could SWIM anticipate this just being a short-term effect? Do mushrooms even effect sleep, or could this be caused by something completely different (it would be quite the coincidence though).
