Similar story here, and I have a lot of regrets centering around the crazy stuff I did while out of my mind.

In retrospect, I’ve come to believe that long periods of little or poor quality sleep led to much more insanity than any specific substance.

It didn’t necessarily have to be stimulants. Anything that kept me up all night getting high or prevented “real” sleep, even computers or video games to a lesser degree, could lead to this state.

Sleep is important.
