nodding off
A term used to describe the high of heroin.. it is often mistaken as being very tired (which
works out well for the user!), but it is more like "
nodding" in and out of semi-consciousness. That's really the best way to describe it. It's like a series of times where the user will fall asleep for 30 seconds -
a few minutes out of nowhere, and then suddenly snap into wakefulness again. They often are in very uncomfortable positions, too. (because they were not really planning or expecting to be sleeping!)..the term can also sometimes be heard with opiate-based pills, but generally it is specific for being high on heroin.

verb:
nod off is what happens when your eyes and brain disobey you, and begin entering
hibernation mode even though you know you should be up and awake. Nodding off happens most often when you sit in a comfortable seat in the back of the room during boring classes with droning old professors. Some people are gifted with
the screensaver mode, which they can turn on to cover up the fact that they have nodded off
