Does pot only make you tired if you need sleep?

I've been thinking for awhile about how being stoned increases my awareness of my subconscious desires. One desire that often comes up for me, especially lately, is for sleep. My question is, does pot create this desire in everyone, or just those with a hidden sleep debt? Do you feel tired when you're stoned, or just relaxed? Most of my friends get tired when they smoke, but they all have horrible sleeping habits.

Bit of background info here: I have not slept well (I'll define well for my needs as 8 hrs+ a night) for an extended stretch in a long time, and I guess I've racked up a heavy sleep debt myself as a result. Now, I'm the kind of positive, high energy person, so I have a strong threshhold and can run around and accomplish a lot without getting too tired on most days. I am just musing that perhaps my good friend Mary Jane is telling me that I should invest more time in sleeping.

Oh and here's another interesting bit of information: ever since my new diet of mostly fruits and vegetables, marijuana no longer makes me hungry, which paints me in a starkly contrasting tone from all of my friends who have less than great diets. Maybe those individuals who get the munchies lack a proper diet, rich in natural, raw foods that provide the body with what it actually needs and requests. Maybe those who eat mostly empty-calorie-laden processed food ( a good percent of the people in my country) are hungry for nutrition.

So what are your eating/sleeping habits, and how do they affect your highs?

 

Weed makes me tired, if I am not doing active activities.

 

weed never makes me tired. i do more active shit baked than sober

 

Weed makes me tired only if I am running on little sleep already, also on the comedown if I have ntohign ells to do I get very tired. I hate sleeping high though, while its fun and fells amazing, I hate lossing my dreams, and I also fell very burnt out the next day.

 

When you burn out, you get tired. It happens to everybody.

 

ill go days without sleep and still nothing from weed (weed dos not makes me tired that is)

 

I don't think i quite agree with you. Ever been stuffed, blazed another bowl, and the hunger is back? in your theory, you'd be less hungry, correct?

Also, one of my friends stayed up for something like 36 hours, and around hour 24, smoked a few bongs with me, and was if anything, more awake.

 

i can go forever when high, untill i stop. once i stop i get lazy. i am more tired late at night as opposed to if i wake and bake for example.

 

The problem is, with being stuffed, is that you're not always feeding your body what it needs. Try stuffing yourself on a huge bowl of salad and some tuna and see if you are hungry when you're high. My guess is that you won't be.

 

when i get stoned and i'm at home, or at a friends house, i'll get tired and fall asleep
especially if i'm coming down from the high..
but if i'm at a party, or i'm somewhere where i can do stuff, i'm fine.

i think that i probably get so tired from being stoned from lack of sleep, too.
cause i can never seem to get enough sleep.

 

Hippie, trying sleeping a full 8 hrs every night for a week and see how your high changes. I'm just curious, but the extra sleep will do your body good regardless.

 

it depends first and foremost on the weed.

some is very prone to putting me to bed, making me tired.

but some wakes me up, and is even stimulating.


next to what kind of pot i've got, it also depends on how i consume it.

orally is most prone to putting me to bed in a few hours. next up is smoking nice blunts, or a lot of bong rips.

if i use my vaporizer, even weed that would normally make me at least a bit sleepy is more cerebral and energetic. maybe not to the extent of other types of pot, its just with a vape i'm far less prone to getting tired.

same with most glass bowls, but to a much lesser degree.

 

Yeah, it really makes me tired when I am by myself. I use it to fall asleep often. But when i am out and about i never get tired for some reason.

 

When I first started smoking, I would get tired hangovers where I'd be so drained and crave sleep, but if I stayed awake for a while, this tired feeling would disappear. Now I don't get tired atall.

I said "see ya never", which in my head, meant that i won't ever see these people because they're online and not people I deal with in everyday life. After that everyone bitched me out. This website is addicting as hell tho, I guess I am as hooked as all those myspaceheads.

 

Good edit. I'm too lazy to function. 1:45 = too early to search for threads >.<

 

lol dude i know

i shouldn't even be up this early -_-
but i needed to take a shower before going to my boyfriends


freshness is a priority

 

yeah i have a tendency of getting tired when i smoke. but it could be that i'm like you, and don't sleep well either. and i don't get the munchies when i smoke either cause i eat pretty healthily, and i'm a vegetarian besides that.
i think your right with your thinking.
