Has anyone tried taking sleeping pills and then just going outside in freezing temperatures to die?

Yes, that's the downside. looks like it would take -30 to -50 degrees to be successful with any degree of certainty.Frostbite and subsequent amputations in case of failure are enough to dissuade me from this idea.
People freeze to death in much higher temperatures, I just saw a case iun the news, it is usually people who get very drunk and get lost and pass out. BUt, as you said, if rescued then there could be a lot of damage iwthout ctb.Yes, that's the downside. looks like it would take -30 to -50 degrees to be successful with any degree of certainty.
If people fall through the ice and can't get out they die pretty quickly, but it's a miserabble way to go- you would likely screm for help, unless you are trapped under the ice, and might be rescued with damage. The apin level would be excrutiating for as long as this would take, the farthest things from peaceful.Not freezing to death per se but I have considered walking out onto thin ice in the hope that the cold shock would kill me.
Sleeping pills won't work if you're really coldHas anyone tried taking sleeping pills and then just going outside in freezing temperatures to die?
I was thinking about this, too. Years ago, I was out drinking with a buddy. I had a bit too much, and on our way home, I slipped and fell on the icy sidewalk. I was so drunk that I actually started to fall asleep. I felt so cozy and peaceful as I drifted off, but then my friend kept yelling at me to get up. It wasn't until he gave me a good kick that I finally got up and continued the journey home. After that incident, I often thought this would be a pain-free way to go.Has anyone tried taking sleeping pills and then just going outside in freezing temperatures to die?

All I'd have to do is go to a secluded area, maybe drive up north. Then park my car in a quiet spot, get boozed up, and fall asleep. To protect from frostbite, I'd wear thick gloves and socks. In fact, I recall reading that when you're drunk, your blood vessels dilate, releasing heat. I imagine this would make you feel warm.
I tried searching for info on hypothermia as a suicide method, but of course, Google cockblocks you on such particulars.
I know what you mean. It's not my preferred method either, more like a daydream on cold winter nights.Not preferable for me, as the pain from numbing would be too unbearable.
I've thought about this too.. but was put off by the idea of my extremities going manky with frostbite way before I died..Has anyone tried taking sleeping pills and then just going outside in freezing temperatures to die?
Its too cold and painful , your SI will kick in but in temperature around freezing point , you will slowly freeze and die , not that bad.I tried this this last winter with the temp like 30 blow f and I couldn't last a minute. unbearable.
