If I take over a dozen of sleeping pills while being exposed to -30 temperature, will it be painful to die? Or will I just fall asleep and never wake up?

I hear getting to the point of being hypothermic generally doesn't feel great, haha.

I'd drink alcohol it makes you feel warm

Ive had hypothermia a few times, i used to be a drinker so collapsing in a hedge in the middle of winter used to be a occupational hazard.

If you don't mind getting cold, then with a few drinks, they tell your body you are warm regardless then it has never for me been unpleasant.

Also will depend on the sleeping pills, modern ones only work for 3-4hrs at the most

This is my idea as well. Getting to a place with -30C is getting harder already now with spring coming up.

It seems like the perfect method. You just need to find a place where nobody will find you.

Which pills do you have in mind? You can source many on the usual deepweb markets but I don't know much about sleeping pills.

I've read that if you submerge your body in even 10°C water you can die in about 3 hours, that would seem much less painful than exposing to -30 weather. but do I like this hypothermia way of dying.

Hate to be a wet blanket here but this is one of the last methods I'd consider using.
  1. Takes a long time to die, which increases chance of being found
  2. Emergency medicine providers are pretty good at reviving people who die in this way from what I understand
  3. You will have a lot of shitty damage done if you fail (lost fingers, toes, even arms or legs and facial feeling) thanks to frostbite
  4. When was the last time you stood outside for longer than a few seconds on a cold day? It sucks
I think hanging is a much better option.

I have Zolpidem Tartrate. The doctor told me that it's not a strong sleeping pill, but so far one tablet put me into deep sleep, so I think a dozen may do the trick.

I live quite far north so -30 is not uncommon here, though I usually have jackets on. I am thinking of taking the pills before hand then head into the wilderness to lie down. I am quite sure that my body won't be found for at least a week.

I read in the Final Exit that hanging is very painful and has a relatively low chance of success. The author says that, for most cases, either the equipment can't support the weight or the body involuntarily reacts to free oneself for air. I don't have first hand experience so I am not quite sure how my body will react to not having air.

First of all–I guess what's ultimately important is that we both have a method that's reliable and that we can make use of, regardless of what it is. That being said, I definitely take issue with that characterization of partial hanging as it does not match my experience or the experience of several others that come to mind here.

  1. Pain: hanging is not painful once you get it dialed in and can even be oddly pleasurable. You should go numb (the pleasant part) then unconscious within 15 seconds max if everything is set up properly, and there should be little to no pain. If you feel pain, you're doing it wrong
  2. Support: to ensure the security of the rope and anchor point is fairly simple. One way is to use materials that are rated for a much greater weight than what you'll be applying. In my method of hanging, I apply less than 160 lb of body weight, while I use materials that are rated as reliable for 400lb and greater. Sure these could technically break, but they're virtually new and this is more than enough assurance for me. The paranoid person could perform any number of trials with approximate weight and length of time as a real hanging in order to see whether their setup holds water
  3. Involuntary reactions: after watching a decent amount of hanging videos, I think most people would be persuaded this isn't a major concern. I'd originally pictured wild spasms but what I see in the videos are much more like tiny spasms completely lacking the strength or coordination needed to get someone up and out of the noose

Thanks for the explanation. What would you suggest to hang oneself to? I don't think anything on the ceiling where I live can support average human weight. The only thing I can think of is a big tree, but then it's only feasible in the summer here.

Personally I use a doorway resistance band anchor like this, but a doorway pull-up bar like this is another good option. There are more possibilities I can share if neither of those are options for you

Ambien (zolpidem) only works for a few hours.

Try my chosen method when I decide to sleep for good,
10 Phenergan
10 Codeine
10 Diazepam and lay down in the cold, by the time hypothermia kicks in you'll be none the wiser.

Do you think a few hours is enough to freeze to death? Or does it take longer to die this way?

I think it takes awhile to actually die, longer than a few hours. You'd better go somewhere where no one can find you. You don't want to end up like this.

It is rare for an overdose of modern sedatives that are widely prescribed to be fatal in itself. They put you to sleep but you eventually wake up. Benzodiazepines and z-drugs like Zopiclone are examples of drugs that probably won't kill you. Taking large amounts of alcohol with them may work.

Old fashioned sedatives like Pentobarbital that would kill you are difficult to get hold of for this reason.

I don't like the sound of doing it in -30C cold. It may help to cause death but may result in awful frost bite if you survive.
