Eli5 why do opioids make people do that “standing lean”?
In: 9
Its you fighting falling asleep. But, you are teetering on the edge of sleep since it is a drug enduced sleep so you are more actively trying to stay awake, only enough to keep standing, barely. And your eyes are closed from the euphoria and dream like state the drug also puts you in. Its called “nodding out” just like when you nod your head up and down when trying to stay awake in “normal” life. Hope that helps.
