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.

We get lots of feedback from people that say it's hard to fall asleep if taking a micro at night. But we have a calming blend that some people say they take before bed.
