i've suffered from insomnia for years. it's particularly bad currently, in part due to a muscular shoulder and neck injury that gets exacerbated when i sleep poorly. i'm doing everything i can to maintain proper sleep hygiene, ie. keeping a regular schedule, getting enough exercise.. there are many factors to consider but if smoking before bed is adding to the problem then i will stop immediately because i feel desperate and all i want is to sleep through the night.
for the past 1-2 months i've been smoking a bowl before bed. it's a nice way to relax before bed and it definitely helps me fall asleep, but it does not help me stay asleep. (i wake up a lot throughout the night.) there's a lot of articles out there about cannabis being both an aid and a hinderance to a good night's sleep. apparently it increases deep sleep and reduces REM sleep. is this true? good? bad? neither? i'm curious if any experts have some scientific information to offer on the subject.
