Ok so i just came across something amazing . And yes mods this should be a blog post but i also have a question so HA ! (sorry i love you guys . Thanks for making bluelight great and not full of trollz and ignorant people )

But yeah moving on . ..

So lately ive discovered this amazing new thing .

I have always wondered how to cure that horrible burnout feeling you get with weed and also how to get that "first time of the day" high back , cause every time you smoke after that first one just isnt as nice .

Well the answer to getting rid of the burnout feeling and to get your first day back is to take a 20-30 minute NAP !

its amazing . You blaze and it feels so much nicer . Your not burnout or anything .
To make it even better , you could have a cup of tea (or anything with caffeine after) and without that or not you still feel alert , your memory is amazing and your just generally in a good mood ! Its amazing .

I can now blaze all day , come home , nap , wake up and totally be ready for my work shift !


But yeah enough with that .
I was wondering if anyone else experiences this as well ?
And i was also wondering if someone could maybe educate this 17 year old kid (ME !) on why this happens ? Like the scientific , neuro , whatever reasons behind it ?


Thanks guys .
=D
 
Wow im gonna try it . Never tried it before . Lets see what happens ....


And it probably just resets your brain . Your melatonin levels are high and your brain gets refreshed ? I dunno .
Prolly some more educated guys on here other than me :P lol
 
well you could try it !

Only takes 20mins out of your day .

If it becomes a common fact us stoners will become more productive and probably improve the quality of the things we do
:P
(for some of course :P )

I don't mind trying, but it takes me 20 minutes just to get to sleep.
 
yup usually when I have class at 9 am I come back, blaze a couple bowls, then pass back out until the afternoon. I feel better than I would if I didn't take a nap, but not 100%. Still a little tired (and sometimes still a little high).
 
First CD discovered nutrients earlier in the week, and now napping!

I'm so proud to be part of such a revolutionary era in CD history.



on-topic: I don't smoke weed and go to sleep just so I can more efficiently smoke more weed, I go to sleep when I'm tired.

I lol'd. "resets your brain". classic.

If you want the neuroscience behind it, I will give you a very, very simple and brief rundown.

You smoke weed. It passes your BBB (blood brain barrier). THC and CBD/Ns bind to your CB1/CB2 receptors, which line your mesolimbic area (and other places). These start out as electrical signals in the presynapse, which travel down dendrites/axons and so on until it reaches it's respective receptors where it becomes a chemical signal and is released from the presynapse to the synaptic cleft. Your post synapse then either binds the chemical through gates (in this case, CB1/CB2 receptors) or close, leaving these signals in your cleft which are either bound or pushed out / "erased" by sodium or potassium and certain proteins.

While sleeping, your brain (i would assume) releases NA/K/Cl- and proteins which then destroy chemicals still chilling in your synapse - so no more chemicals to bind in the post synapse.

As far as why this seems to help your comedown - cannabis makes you tired/sleepy and generally "burned out"! Sleep in and of itself helps you a lot, and the neuroscience and orgo behind that is something I don't want to get into here.

and fyi, some of that was overly simplified for you.
 
^ so it kinda does reset ur brain in the way all the cannabinoids left "chilling" there are removed

I agree...sometimes when I'm blazed, especially during the late afternoon, I end up falling asleep. Yes, when I wake up I can have caffeine and get real high again and be more efficient but a nap is something that just sort of happens...plus sometimes I really hate it when I get so high I take an unintentional nap, almost a waste of buds IMO.
 
Im going to go out on a limb here and say that a very high percentage of weed smokers nap, or take naps every once in a while.
 
Hate naps. Probably psychological fallout from when my parents forced me to nap as a child ;p
 
Naping and smoking weed go hand and hand my friend. Just dont forget to set that alarm or you might end up not waking up as soon as you expext %)

Oh, I am! I actually get off on it. LOL

In fact, I'm catching up on DVR recordings of Sci-Fi Science right now. I love Dr. Michio Kaku. :)

Is that the asian professor with completely gray hair?


If it's the same guy that does all those shows on outerspace and metaphysics then that dude's fun to watch, he really knows his shit.
 
I nap when smoking heavy indica, a little less w Sativa blends, and almost never when vaping. I like to do all 3 for different moods and reasons.
