Marijuana as a sleep aid...

Hey guys/ladies,

Does anyone here find that Marijuana helps your sleep cycle?

I have had problems in my sleep cycles for years, I can't fall asleep at night and then I wake up very very tired in the morning. I will literally lie in bed for 2 or 3 hours sometimes before I fall asleep.

Well, I'm still pretty much a noob to marijuana. I started last June and I have smoked less than an ounce since that time, but maybe I'm on to something.

Anyway, I have found that when I smoke marijuana a couple of hours before I go to bed, that I:

1.) Fall asleep quickly.
2.) Have a much more sound sleep.
3.) Feel more refreshed when I wake up, not tired.

What do you guys think? Do any of y'all use marijuana as a sleep aid?

Share your thoughts/opinions please.

Thanks,
-Alan

you can become dependant on weed as a sleeping medication. Dont fall into the habbit of smoking just before bed everynght, or u wont b able 2 sleep when u have no weed.

 

Well for you it could be good because you have trouble sleeping , and its not in relation with drugs, probably...

But like anything you might just become addicted to it to sleep...

 

yeah those are good cautions ^^

but yeah i used to have crazy dreams when i went to bed burnt out or high, but now all my dreams are gone sober or high... kinda wierd. sometimes if ive been smoking and falling asleep high for like 5 or 6 days straight and then don't smoke, it will take me a while longer to fall asleep... light it up brother!

 

yeah weed works fine, but you should try some pollen, that shit'll really knock you out! best sleep medication there is

 

Yes! Definitely works good as a sleep aide. Used it last night as such.

 

i always get sweet dreams going to sleep high or massively burnt. one time i dreamed that my band moved all our gear into dairy queen (where i work) and we had to sell 100 tickets to our gig otherwise we couldnt be a band anymore. then another time i dreamt i kept getting dropped out of helicopters into HUGE trees but i was having so much fun, then i found my little brother wasted in the forest.

 

Yeah, I went to bed high the other night (it does help the sleeping a lot) and I dreamt that I was the mute kid from Little Miss Sunshine, and I snorted a bunch of coke which later turned out to be marshmallows... It was scary.

 

yea i fall right the fuck asleep if i lay down and close my eyes when im stoned.

 

i second that!

 

Yeah, if I don't smoke all day, sometimes I just like to hit something before I go to bed.

 

Sometimes I use it to fall asleep if I lay in bed for over an hour. I think it's kind of a waste since you get knocked out pretty fast so you don't enjoy it. But if it were legal and they solld it in the pharmacies...fuck yeah I would definately use it alot more often as a sleep aid

 

When I smoke, I like to stay awake until my high is gone. Otherwise, I feel as though I am wasting it. I do go to sleep easily after I come down from my high, though.

 

Simple solution: tough it out for a night before switching over to a dose of melatonin an hour before bed. Rigorous exercise the following day with another dose of melatonin ought to suffice for the following nights. The latter component should eventually be trumped by the former, with the end result being two positives from what should be two neutrals.

Removing THC from one's system (not to mention the urge to introduce more of it) is not trying endeavor regardless of what crafty commercials and the like would have you believe.

 

As a sleep aid, marijuana works much better when eaten.
About the simplest way is to simmer as 1/2 as much weed as it takes to get you high when smoked, simmer for 15 minutes in 8 oz. of whole milk over low heat, then strain into a glass. Let it cool somewhat, possibly add nutmeg, cocoa, etc., and drink.

 

my pot smoking has ruined my sleep cycle. when i dont have pot, i can hardly sleep.

 

do ya mean 1/2 or 2x, ranger?

I find that i need to use more bud when cooking than smoking

 

pot and booze help me sleep. pot makes me less paranoid in the dark which is perfect.
