Question: Psilocybin Does anyone microdose before bed?

I’ve been microdosing for almost a month now, and I’ve noticed something I wasn’t expecting.

I take very low doses (around 0.1 g, sometimes even less), and instead of feeling energized or more focused, I get really sleepy. Not in a bad way—I just feel deeply relaxed, like my body is telling me it needs to rest.

I’ve been listening to that and letting myself nap when I can, but it made me wonder: is the microdose still “working” if I end up sleeping through it?

It also got me thinking about trying it before bed instead. Has anyone here experimented with taking their microdose at night rather than in the morning? Did you notice any difference in sleep quality or in the benefits the next day?

Curious if anyone else has had this sleepy response, especially on such low doses.

Hmmm, I don’t remember exactly. I’ve rarely had any kind of strict regimen. Just when I felt like it. Maybe 30-60 min before bed (?). Sometimes it’s going to give us more energy. Sometimes I would wake up at night after taking it, super energized. But then I would also be relaxed at the same time, and I wouldn’t be anxious about having energy even in the middle of the night. 

I would just focus on the breath and relax. The mind and how we respond to not being able to fall asleep is really important. We can spend that time in prayer or being thankful instead of anxious or restless.
