A big problem with LSD it that it can last an insanely long amount of time. The first time I took it I was tripping 16 hours later.

True, my first full trip was similar. That's also why I recommend taking a small dosage the first time (hell most times); my 1/4 hit trips last around 6-8 hours. I also found I could sleep without trouble on that dosage as well, another major issue if you take a full hit (you tend to not be able to sleep at all that night).

I find I can't sleep while I'm affected by the drug, but when I am able to sleep again, I know the drug's worn off. I also try to plan accordingly and drop earlier in the day

Do you know what the dose was? If it was a tab, what did it taste like? Did you swallow or leave it under the tongue?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Research Chemicals that are sold as LSD. They can have wildly different effects and durations, and are much less 'known' compared to LSD.

My first trip was 10 or 11 hours and that was on ~200ug.
