Foggy head upon waking...

I only vaped about the equiv of two small 1 papers but still I felt somewhat foggy this morning.

To me it's similar to when I have taken melatonin. It feels like someone is sitting on my head and moving is like a struggle/battle. I find this rather unpleasant.

I found a few deep yawns cleared this quite a bit but I do still feel some of the fog.

I do remember sleeping quite deeply although I probably feel LESS rested than had I had nothing at all. This also correlates with what it was like taking melatonin despite many who swear by it as a great rejuvenator.

I am guessing there aren't any ways round this apart from trying to counteract the symptoms with coffee and the like which I do not want.

I liked the sound of the synthetic cannabinoids in that most users said this head fog was absent from these substances.

Anyhow I have a fresh bag and I won't waste it. It's gonna last me ages so I guess it's tolerable on the few occasions a week I'll be having it unless anyone has better ideas to prevent this?
 
Don't smoke/vape or use weed before sleep?

It's a known fact that weed before bed (or anytime in that day) can affect your sleep paterns (REM , etc)

don't smoke all day and sleep and compare it Too if you did smoke even once in the day and slept.

Unless you have sleep problems you'll most likeley wake up without the mind fog

I know because I was once like you
 
I don't quite understand what you're trying to say...

You saying just smoke earlier and stop well before going to sleep?

Yes I do already have sleep problems which I've had for years, mainly due to thinking too much (and weed doesn't help this).

I did have a WEAK coffee and a big shit which both seem to have woken me up more.
 
some strains arent good for sleep....or try to blaze up ealyer (<spelling?) i have BAD sleeping problems too it leaves me feeling grogy the next day.I am a everyday smoker so i smoke ALOT more at night.... i dont smoke after 10oclock if i have work the next day and i wake up feeling fine....

Interesting.

How long would you recommend your last toke to be before bed?

Thing is I don't want to toke too early cos I am working/doing stuff in the day.

So 6 pm would prob be the earliest.

Last night I didn't get my hookup till like 10pm so that was why I started late. I bet 4 hours would make a difference.
 
^absolutely. there's a big difference for me between smoking 3 hours before sleep and smoking 1 hour before sleep.
 
I've always know it as a "stone-over" usually a cig will clear it up. Although, If I've nothing much to do I enjoy it. It's like a subtle high you can enjoy throughout the morning, without being overly hindered by the high.
 
I just had a nice lazy afternoon nap which seems to have rejuvenated me.

I find afternoon naps are great for some compressed REM. Feels like you spend most of it in REM from my exp. even if it's for under an hour, which they usually are for my naps.

definitely don't go to bed high or smoke an excessive amount of weed (how ever much that might before you). and you can avoid this morning after kind of dazed feeling.

ohhh the sleep fog - fuck it's bad...ALWAYS used to wake up with this one when I'd have a proper session the night before, which is why I usually try N sober up before sleeping(plus these days because ganja make me buzz so much, it's usually necessary haha).
 
I'm completely aware of the weed-hangover, they suck. But so much better than an alcohol hangover. Usually if I smoke too much the day before it hits me, and going to sleep still completely baked does it too. This might sound counter-productive but the best thing I've found to get rid of one is to smoke more bud. Not a lot, just a couple hits, just enjoy it and as it wears off so does the cloudy feeling.
 
Good to hear others experience this as usually I'm the 'sensitive one' and people scratch their head when I complain about hangover effects from different drugs. Not that I care about such a label but rather it's useful to swap notes.

Just about to 'wake n' bake' this sunday afternoon.

Gonna buy one guiness as I recall drinking alcohol, although a terrible mix in large doses, one can last me an AGE while toking and I really savor it. Dunno if I'll enjoy it without stims but one must experiment and see :).

ok so the alcohol was not a good idea. Took a couple of sips then felt repulsed by it (I'm too used to craving alcohol like when on stims).

Man, it's annoying vaping is great but I accidentally caught it alight a bit and it irritates my throat. It's hard to get the right temp cos just as it starts to vape is near where it combusts. I'm not paying for a vape tho as I won't be smoking enough for that. Gotta improve my DIY vaping technique.

the foggyness and weed hangover goes away with time. there's a break in period with weed where you get a lot more of the negative side effects. smoke every day for a couple months and the paranoia and the hangovers go away completely (well you still get paranoid every now and then from stupid stuff, but nowhere near like when you initially started).
 
Usually the free high the next morning doesn't really cloud my head too much. I'm just a little bit sleepy in a good way (As opposed to being tired in the morning) and I feel like everything is just right.
 
I was always sleepy in the morning before trying weed. I am sleepy in the morning if I take weed the previous evening. Does not make a difference to me :-D
