I always sleep like a baby on weed, that must mean I will live forever (yeeey).
On the other hand, tomorrow I often feel tired throughout a day, even more then as if I slept 4-5 hours without a weed, which might mean I should start looking for a parcel (meh).
This study just gave me cognitive dissonance.
- rocgf 8y agoAccording to some videos in which Matthew Walker (the author of "Why we sleep") is answering some Q&As on the Internet, he briefly talks about weed and alcohol. Both these drugs are used as sedatives, but they are not good for your sleep. Your sleep cycles are just not the same (e.g. you don't get to REM as much) and it is considered detrimental for your sleep. As others have mentioned in this thread, I highly recommend reading "Why we sleep" by M. Walker. It's one of the best books I've read.
- Jimpulse 8y agoI think there's some studies that have found that THC may reduce REM sleep. So while you're sleeping more easily, you're getting less "restful" sleep than you would sober.
- rriepe 8y agoWeed withdrawal causes insomnia, especially in heavy/daily users. If you want to see how much sleep you actually get without being on weed, you should take an 8-week break first.
- opportune 8y agoI recently took an 8 week break and I noticed sleep returning to "normal" after about 1-2 weeks. I had a couple nightmares while in REM rebound though which really sucked and never happens to me otherwise
- majkinetor 8y agoMy experience too. Around second week insomnia is away but dreams return... often not in a good way.
