As of other answers no out of the box solution for it. But you still can access it using Middleware in constructor.

So here is another hack

public function __construct(){
    //No session access from constructor work arround
    $this->middleware(function ($request, $next){
        $user_id = session('user_id');
        return $next($request);
    });

}
