I’ve long suspected marijuana has a similar effect, in that it “helps” you fall asleep by making it harder to remember the process of falling asleep. It’s widely known that marijuana inhibits short term memory formation. (I could be wildly off base)
- lobsterthief 2y agoMarijuana keeps me up unfortunately, since my brain becomes more stimulated and I just want to get up and do things. But I‘ve had massive ADHD my entire life so that’s not a neurotypical response I suppose. I wish I could just smoke weed and feel chill and calm or sleepy.

- shepardrtc 2y agoA few years ago I used marijuana every night to go to sleep. It really, really screwed my sleep up. I started taking sleeping pills and got hooked on those. Very bad experience. Don't use any of that stuff, period. Even if the marijuana feels like it's working, it interferes with your REM sleep or something like that. In the end my sleep issues were caused by anxiety disorder. Once I got on medication for that, I didn't have any further issues. Marijuana, sleeping pills, whatever, they're all just masking the symptoms of some other problem.
- theshackleford 2y agoIn my case cannabis masks pain and muscle spasms resulting from a spinal cord injury. Masking is the only option I have. And yet still I agree. Whilst I sleep, unlike without, it’s not the kind of sleep I knew. Then again, nothing is. It’s a drug of last resort (but then again they all are.)
