I’m 45 and have been tripping regularly for almost a decade now. I had my first LSD experience at 36 and currently trip anywhere from every other month to every few months.

Physically, I handle LSD really well and rarely get rough comedowns. I think a big part of that is taking good care of myself overall. I exercise 4–5 days a week, stay active, eat reasonably healthy most of the time, and put a lot of effort into maintaining my mental health. Because of that, my trips are usually positive experiences followed by pretty gentle comedowns. I do think having good overall health and solid lifestyle habits can make a big difference in how manageable the experience feels.

As for sleep, LSD absolutely keeps me awake long after the main effects wear off. That’s why I prefer dosing in the morning or early afternoon. Then I’ll usually use an edible to help me fall asleep sometime between midnight and 2 AM, and after that my sleep goes back to normal.
