Does MDMA disrupt REM (deep) sleep and sleep quality in the days after use?

I am asking this thinking that the answer is obvious. I recently made a thread about severe fatigue from MDMA use on Friday. I have noticed I feel perfectly fine and awake at night, such as right now. 3:30am in the UK. When I wake up in the mornings it feels like I have not slept. Does MDMA heavily affect quality of sleep in the days after use? I understand the night you take it will not be the best nights sleep unless you have benzos or something. I am talking about a few days after.

It decreases serotonin levels, and serotonin is a precursor the neurochemical/sleep hormone, Melatonin.

Try eating some Sour Cherries next time, drink some Decaff green tea with no sugar. Might help you sleep. I dont know about doing benzos after mdma, i am sure there is a slight chance where you are mixing the two, that your heart dont like Uppers then Downers and there is a chance you will never wake up again

I think they are okay because I read a few articles saying that things like valium are used to calm the patient in event of an overdose. I noticed you are full of useful information so I also wanted to ask how much Sunlight exposure would be beneficial? England is finally seeing some sun. I am trying to get some exercise in as well.

Thanks a lot

Notice how it says Patient.

Im sure you will want to sleep after mdma a lot more often, than a patient will be admitted needing valium.
Yeah england is seeing some sun at last, ive seen a lot of it today in the east of england.

I noticed you are full of useful information

Oh why thank you hehe
How much sunlight? Well id say just some a day is good, too much is not good for your skin, and you can burn of course.
That's why i kind of think that everyone who uses mdma should give it a break during winter months, as we dont see nearly enough sunlight to encourage serotonin production.

I always take benzos after rolling. Its an absolute must or I cant sleep specifically if the rolls had meth or something in them. I believe its pretty much safe... I mean something such as heroin I think the heart would not like mixed with rolls but xanax I'm sure you should be fine. Xanax usually lowers my heart rate after a night of rolling because it takes the edge off and helps me sleep. They also give people benzos when your having a heart attack to calm down.

MDMA always seems to induce sleep paralysis the night after I roll for me. It used to be totally terrifying but now it's much more lucid, meaning if I keep my eyes shut while I'm paralysed I can do whatever the hell I want (in my head) and the scary monster pushing down on me can't do jack, it may aswell be a pretty girl for all I care. Always seems to happen as I'm falling asleep. Still end up a sweaty mess in my bed when I finally wake up and can move.
