Effects - How Does Kratom Affect Your Sleep?

[BigB-Baby]

SWIM finds that it helps him fall asleep easily, he has anxiety and usually takes about an hour to fall asleep, but SWIM wakes up sore in the morning, or at least this morning. However SWIM does remember being very physically active in sleep and waking up with heart beating very fast, and very strongly several times. SWIM does not know if he moves in his sleep, but Kratom does seem to have an effect on the vividness of his dreams.... What are others' experiences?\

It's strange but the doc has used this as a pick-me-up, and as a sleep aid...it's like when he's on it feels like he could just as easily go to sleep as he could stay wide awake.

SWIM finds if the Kratom is strong, just like opiates SWIM stays awake, however at the right dose SWIM gets a nice sleep.
SWIM doesnt use Thai strains as they could certainly make it difficult to sleep but Bali/Indo strains are nicely sedating for SWIM.

SWIM agrees.
SWIM falls asleep very quick with the right dose. Sleep seems to be very deep and very long. SWIM had insomnia, which he couldn't live with anymore. Kratom solved this problem for SWIM. Even two days after kratom sleep is inproved for him.
SWIM noticed slight increased heartbeat too sometimes.
Dreaming seems to be intensified, but SWIM finds the most interesting effect on dreaming before he goes to sleep.

SWIM had a few capsules last night and found sleep pretty easily 5-6 hours after taking it

kratom wakes swim up.. and makes swim sleep hard and not wake up easy... not good for sleep

Kratom makes SWIM sleep very well when he has taken large doses however SWIM recently pushed his limit 10g+ Bali/Indo felt some nausea but it went away, next morning though SWIM had a bad headache but felt like his sleep was great. SWIM recomends SWIY to take the most they can before nausea for a good sleep. It worked really well for SWIM

Swim just started trying a 'super powder' kratom a few days ago. Swim hasn't had any issues sleeping on kratom but hasn't been taking more than maybe 4 grams in an evening. Swim has noticed he sleeps very restfully and starts dreaming before falling asleep. Swim doesn't notice feeling worn out any moreso in the morning than before, actually has been feeling better since alcohol consumption has been reduced. Swim also likes it with a bit of kava and blue lotus.

Swim is glad to be sleeping well because swim had been consuming a fair amount of alcohol every evening for the past few years and had trouble sleeping if not having a few drinks.

Kratom helps swim sleep, it also helps him be active. He can basically decide....

For sleep, it definitely makes swim's dreams more vivid. I think it may cause his mind to be a little overactive in sleep, which doesn't amount to very good rest, but it is comfortable. The only thing I have noticed about sleeping with kratom that is worth mentioning is that it makes it very, very hard to get up in the morning. Swim could sleep in for a long time if he took kratom before bed. It takes a lot more effort to wake up. Really, when he gets up, a dose of kratom will then widen his eyes and get him ready to go to work . Its very versatile. Opiates have always been this way for swim too, but he is no longer using opiates, benzos, or alcohol.

Yes Kratom does help with sleep, unless the dosage is large, in which case one might have meditative rest, possibly with short small episodes of sleep, but keep getting interrupted by the effects of the Kratom.

Sleep can go on for much longer than usual, with 10-12 hours of sleep being possible.

Dreams can be particularily weird and immersive...sometimes they can be so weird that it can be like a nightmare.

Waking up can be like coming out of a coma....it takes time to clear the cobwebs. Even making a strong cup of coffee might not be enough. I know some who needed to wake up and made a cup and drank it only to fall asleep even after the caffeine.

[enianen]

I know a guy tried kratom.
He said he fell asleep for two hours. if taken in small amounts, kratom is supposed to be more stimulant-like, and higher amounts are more relaxing

Where would swim get kratom capsules?
or did swim just make the capsules himself?

[RX420]

in swiyours opionion what is the best kratom for a good opioid noddy buzz??? swim knows they all can differ, but is their a strain that is more known to be more sedating and buzzy????

[Synchronium]

Kratom doesn't put SWIM to sleep, but when he goes to bed, it's the best night's sleep he's had all week.

[Voodoostarr]

Kratom helps swim sleep through the entire night and not wake up tossing and turning. Swim thinks it a more restful sleep.
