    Bedtime Snusing?

    Hi Everyone!

    Just received an order of strong Snus...I was out of Snus and I got a bunch of sterk and xtra sterks with some reg portions!
    I'm liking the Onyx so far (lowest nic I have hehe).
    Anyways, on to my questions...

    I am wondering if there is a general consensus as to what type of snus helps you to sleep. Before snus I would always smoke a cigarette before going to sleep and it seemed to help a lot.
    I've been snusing for about a month. Mostly regular portions or general minis before bed.

    Just want to get your views and your experiences with different snus before bedtime...
    Please fellow members, share the knowledge

    I'm new to snus, but a long time tobaccophile. I prefer a strong, natural tasting tobacco to mellow me out at night. Other flavors or lower doses tend to make me alert rather than acting as a nightcap.

        Hey what's up fellow FC'er!
        With the snus and snuff I'm about to sell my whole supply of E-cigs now...Provari, pro-tank, wta e-liquids and 12mg juice collection. Never thought I'd do that!

          I always snus before sleeping, and usually discard the portion (or rarely, loose) when it's time to brush my teeth. I tend to avoid stronger variants right before though, as it makes my dreams way too crazy. A regular white portion usually does the trick.

          The few times I've fallen asleep with a snus in, I have not had any problem. However, I don't like doing it as you wake up with a bad taste in your mouth.

            I usually brush my teeth and throw in a thunder frosted. The flavor stays more mild because of the mint taste from my toothpaste already. When I'm ready for bed I take it out set it on top of the can and when I wake up in the morning I get a new portion and take the dry one to the bathroom to flush down the toilet.

              I love to sleep with snus because of the dreams, but on the other hand I am always sort of scared of choking with the portion while sleeping. I usually do not sleep on my back, but I think the risk is still there.

              I remember one of the senior Snuson members writing about an unpleasant experience after breathing in a portion in his sleep.

                Yup, I remember that!
                Got scared for a lil' while but thought I either wake up with it still in the same place/ or I somehow woke up during the night to spit it out...
                One time I woke up and had to check the time on my phone, to realize I had one of my Snus stuck to my screen LOL

                  If you are in it for the dreams, they are pretty crazy/vivid with nicotine patches (I only ever tried it with the strongest ones). I used to go to sleep with them on, and sometimes would have to wake up and take them off before going back to sleep.


                  To OP:
                  I have never tried sleeping with Snus in, but I find it does not keep me up no matter which kind I use before bed (i.e. I have always had trouble sleeping anyway; once I started snusing, my trouble sleeping did not increase/decrease, and I do it right before going to sleep). Last night, I tried Gen Onyx, 2 portions, it was not very strong, so after a half an hour or so I spit them out, and put in an Oden's Extreme Vanilla. That did nothing for me either, so after like 15-20 minutes I spit it out and threw in 2 Thunder Coola. I did not like the taste of those(was my first time trying the Onyx, Oden's Vanilla, and Thunder Coola) so I took them out and put in 2 portions of General Classic Mint. I finally just keep in the Gen Classic mint in, even though I do not really like them. But my point is, I had all of those, and still went to sleep about the same time I normally do.
                  Obviously people react differently to nicotine, so I would recommend looking at it like caffeine. They are both stimulants, so you should try not to take either for up to several hours before going to sleep.

                    I enjoy snussing so much better if i sleep with a snus in... it is messy though... you have to wash your lips with a damp tissue when you wake up though.

                      Snussing really relaxes me... when i snus in bed in puts me off into dream land. Next thing i know i've woken up with snus on my face.

                        Using all that snus would make me super speedy, and probably make me sick hehe
                        P.S: You should try the Odens Extreme, Thunder and Skruf Xtra Stark (the originals)...Quite the nic hit
