You will need to do three basic things to try and recover from not sleeping for three days and smoking crystal meth.
Drink plenty of fluids!
Drink plenty of fluids!
- Drinking water will keep your body hydrated and should help to "cleanse" your body from three days of abuse.
- Without enough water in your system your comedown will be a lot more brutal - because when you are high, your kidneys need more water to break down the crystal meth.
- The choice of fluids is equally important - alcoholic beverages will cause you to lose more fluid than you gain. Also avoid drinking tea, coffee and fizzy drinks.
- Eating a good, healthy meal would be advisable because it will help to restore your depleted energy levels and should top up your vitamin and nutrient levels.
- Even if you are not hungry, your body will need all the fuel it can get. If you don't fancy a large meal, then plenty of snacking should be enough to increase those depleted energy levels.
- Sugary foods are not a good idea, as protein high foods will be more beneficial to your body than a quick sugar rush. Cheese, burgers, pizza, fruit, vegetables and sandwiches are all good to eat - but try to avoid cookies, candy bars and ice cream!
- This is probably the most important aspect of recovery. Although crystal meth usage makes it difficult to sleep, when you do eventually drop off make sure you get a good long sleep. This will help to make up for the complete lack of sleep in the past three days.
- If you're finding it difficult to get some decent sleep, then just a little nap will help to keep your mind more focused.
- If you still can't sleep, don't ever use sleeping pills in conjunction with crystal meth or any other hard drugs! The mixture of these powerful compounds could cause serious or even fatal effects on your heart and blood pressure. A good deal of crystal meth related deaths involve the use of sleeping pills, because of the effect the drug has on sleep!
