CO method: What’s preventing you from waking up in the middle of your attempt?

[kambroov]

From what I understand, you're supposed to bring the charcoal into the sealed room, and go to sleep. But there's nothing stopping you from waking up. If you wake up, you might be left with brain damage, if you were close to death.

Plenty of sleeping tablets I expect.

But I think once your unconscious you will slip quietly into peaceful death.

From anecdotal evidence, people who take sleeping pills tend to fail in this method, for some reason.

I would fail then, as that's how I'd do it. I'm sure someone will advise you better friend.

I don't think you just go to sleep. If It's the level of CO that causes you to fall unconscious how will you wakeup unless it is removed or the level some how drops considerably? @Praestat_Mori any insight?

Would SI do it? Or would you be unconscious very early?
just curious x

That does make logical sense. However, if that's the case, how come there's people who get brain damage from this method? That means they woke up even after losing consciousness.
There's been quite a few posts on this forum of people who attempted this method saying that they woke up even after losing consciousness.

I have tried this method a couple of times - I found the headache to be the hardest to overcome

Why don't you go to sleep? Then you don't have to deal with any symptoms.

I can't advice you much but falling asleep is not the first step. You just need to be in the enclosed space and breath the CO, that is what causes your unconsciousness leading to death.

Headaches during the attempt? What went wrong if I might ask?

That sounds awful. Scrap that method.

 

[Painfu.Ll.suffering]

Aren't u just describing a failed attempt? Are there so many failures with this method?

I thought if you reach a high concentration everything should work out fine.. But this is just from the threads i read the last days

Concetrations of 8k+ ppm should be lethal within a few minutes, unconsciousness within 1-3 minutes I'd say, according to info I have from the CO megathread. However in the megathread I recall a recent post from a user who obviously survived high concentrations over many hours for an unknown reason.

I'm so glad I found this thread. Thank you all for contributing to it. The charcoal grill method may not be as easy or peaceful as SN, nowhere near N, but it doesn't sound too bad and it's one that won't be so easily taken away from us. I feel pretty safe that it won't be hard to source charcoal...

It'd say some bodies are stronger some are weaker - being unconscious doesn't mean someone is dead, SI is working 200% to keep the body alive in such a case imo.

Because of insufficient and non-lethal concentration of CO.

That means they woke up even after losing consciousness.

CO can escape the area, so its concentration can decrease.
