[MEGA] Sleeping on Cannabis

It WAS a good sleep aid for me until i got ridiculously tolerant to it:( . I don't think any amount of weed can put me down now, until perhaps i stop smoking for a long time then restart.

Also, i used to not remember my dreams when real stoned and sleeping, but since the aforementioned tolerance my dreams are just as vivid as ever despite my copious indulgence hehe.
 
I have horrible insomnia...
I seem to sleep better the days that I've had pot. It's just like... my brain is going at a million miles an hour so it's tired out too!

I can see how, in that respect, it would be nice to have a little daily before bed. My insomnia can vary from none to outrageous..
 
sleeping after smoking a shitload and being really burnout is orgasmic. i use weed to sleep if i do adderall that day. when ever i go to sleep high, i close my eyes and the next second im awake at like 6 am. feels instant i guess thats cool.
 
Weed does steal your dreams for sure. Last year after about 8 months of smoking non-stop, i went to go to sleep one night totally sober and it took me hours to fall asleep, and then I had the most vivid, fucked up dreams ever, honestly they felt so real as if it had actually happened. Was back to normal after a few nights though, and now that I don't abuse weed to such a stupid level I can fall asleep easily with or without it. If you abuse it enough it becomes impossible to sleep without it, a state many people I know are in.
 
I usually can't sleep if I'm high on nothing but pot; but if I'm coming down or have already reached baseline I can fall asleep.

Also the one time I ate pot and accidentally ate too much I thought that I was going to pass out I was so stoned but that didn't happen.

If I smoke and then drink some alcohol (especially beer) I get relaxed and tired and I can fall asleep.
 
cant fall asleep for 2 hours after laying in bed , if i didn' took at least one hit during the day
 
I just quit about a week ago, and I forgot how much more vivid my dreams are when I'm not smoking.

Every morning I wake up and I'm like, "... what the fuck"

Sometimes it makes it easier to wake up because the dreams are so ridiculous that I don't want to deal with them anymore, haha.
 
Someone else posted actual research stuff a few pages back, but here's a different study that was done slightly differently.

Researchers have demonstrated that THC ingestion decreases SWS (Slow-wave sleep) and REM sleep, and has sometimes been found to eliminate REM sleep altogether in rats, rabbits, and cats. In later research, the same effect was observed in humans in controlled studies, with the added finding that sleep cycles did not return to normal until after about one week of abstinence.

And Sleep cycle descriptions:

Just prior to falling asleep, the typical person is in a relaxed state of consciousness characterized by alpha waves (a frequency of 8 to 12 waves per second). After the person falls asleep, phase one of the sleep cycle begins, during which brain activity is still fairly high but declining. When a person reaches stage two, brain waves become slower. The third and fourth stages of sleep are known as slow-wave sleep. During SWS, heart rate, breathing rate, and brain activity slow down and the percentage of slow, large-amplitude waves increases. After stage four, a person cycles back through stages three and two. However, instead of returning to stage one, the person enters a stage of sleep known as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

You can make your own conclusions about what that information means, they're just excerpts from a few scientific articles I had from psych last year. Seems pretty clear to me, although it doesn't really show much for long term use and possible adjustment I suppose.
 
pot is the best sleep aid ever is it not?? As well as the dreams that DO go with a long night toking reefers. Before pot I was a real imsoniac and im pretty sure i'll go back to that if i don't get a bit high b4 i catch the zzz's. i recur having interesting, often vivid dreams that I lacked before I started getting high all the time. so go figure people.
and as long as drinking is kept in moderation i wake up shining lol
 
If your a lightweight, you should fall asleep fine. But if you smoke alot, then you shouldn't smoke before sleep. thats how it went for me.
 
No, it improves my sleep pattern.

Helps me sleep. I love sleeping when high... I never crash during the day, but I love toking and then sleeping. Much rather do that and fall to sleep with ease than lay there what could sometimes be hours on end.
 
For me i alway have a hard time falling asleep with pot or not. but with pot i will sometimes not be able to sleep because of wanting to stay up through the high. I now have a prescription for trazodone (anti-depressant used more for sleep aid) i have dreams on the reg and have no problem falling asleep. the feeling of waking up and not having a good nights rest persists every night no matter how many house i sleep.
 
Smoking before sleeping usually makes waking up harder for me. Especially if it's schwag/regs/dirt/whateveryoucallit-type weed or an indica-heavy strain.

Sativas make it harder for me to sleep. If it's good stuff I usually become more energized and get thoughts rushing through my head. I don't get tired for 2 or 3 hours after smoking sativas usually.

Yes, ive cut down in general, still smoke before i go to sleep but not as much as i used to and i really cut it during the day (its only been like 2 weeks) and the past few days ive had that same feeling when i woke up, im starting to remember dreams and i literally said the same thing you did this morning, "what the fuck". In some ways it makes sleeping more enjoyable. You dream and its like a free 100% natural trip.
 
I'm a computer geek, so i usually have to stay awake for a long time to fix thing, to play... And if i don't smoke, i'm not tired at the evening... This situation doesn't bother me when i'm in holidays, but when school comes back, if i want to work correctly and to wake up in the morning, i have to use weed to sleep around midnight (if i begin the class at 8 ) ...
But then, it depends if it's sativa of indica... Last time i was very tired (because i slept 4 hours then i had to go see my dealer), and as soon i had the weed, i wanted to smoke a bowl to smoke the rest of the afternoon. No way, i smoked a pure bowl, and then, my spirit was so in an other world! it was so exciting, i was listening some slow music, but after hitting the bong, i changed it to energic music, i was jumping and dancing, singing, i tried to lay on bed but then i had wonderful visions of spaceships, and i saw samus from metroid too! But no sleep ^^
