Sleepless night after starting smoke break...

When i go on a break i tend to wake up hourly for a week or 2, then maybe 5 times a night for a month, during which time i'll be super tired in the day.

After about 2 months i'll be completely back to normal, which is usually around the time i start smoking again..

Every couple weeks I don't smoke for a couple days to see if the coordination in my bad leg gets better. Depending on the variety I smoke, sometimes I get a bit of a hangover the next day. Anyhow the night I quit smoking I don't sleep and I also have very vivid and strange dreams. The dreams are almost worth the not smoking.

I tried to quit a smoking weed a while back. I was getting 3-4 hours sleep a night, I lasted a month and had to start again as my work was suffering, nearly crashed the car etc through fatigue.

I am addicted to cannabis, and I don't really care :)

I struggle to sleep even when baked , so if I (try to) take a smoke break, i just can't sleep. So end up rolling up.
So that's why I'm tryin to grow mine more amber then milky.
Cus the bud I get around here has always been cut early.
I only drink for the taste, hate being pissed.

It's hard to sleep without weed,
when you are used to the smoke,
but take a break from the pot
and your dreams will evoke the joke.

Get a lot of sunshine and you should be able to sleep better in the night.

My suggestion is to asses caffeine intake.Lots of smokers drink tea coffee,coca cola.
Cut out caffeine and have some herbal teas that have camomile and lots of other herbs to help you sleep.


My 2 cents

Its sometimes hard for me to fall asleep when I take smoke breaks as well. Exercise and/or a sexual release are always a helpful way of getting to bed sooner.

Has any one tried Kava ?

This is great way to help relax and sleep.It Taste like crap and makes your tongue and mouth numb but it works.
I have bin getting direct from Hawaii for 5 years now.

People with anxiety take note
 
weed does weird things to sleep. I had a sleep study awhile back and they explained to me how cannabis changes the architecture of sleep. I really don't remember exactly what it does, just that when you stop using it you will take awhile to adjust and when you are using it you wont remember most dreams. And no, I didn't smoke before the study but I'm sure I would have slept better if I did.

weed is pretty much a tranquilizer. ime.. smoking loads always makes me sleepy. when I don't have it im hyper. if you give up smoking after a few months your sleep pattern evens out(for me anyway)

Hey guys, it's ole BP back in the Dr.'s office. Hehe. I've been noticing a pattern with myself and I'd like some thoughts/input if you have any to spare.

Every once in a while I take a break from smoking, typically due to shotty hookups. I usually smoke about a half gram a day, which I don't think is really all that much. It's usually distributed over 3 gravity bong hits...one morning, one afternoon, one evening. When I take this break though, I always, always, always have a sleepless night. The weirdest damn thing about it, though, is that it's always after my second day of not toking. No matter what, it seems, I just can't sleep.

I do suffer from anxiety...both that and depression run strong in my family. When I run out and can't find any pot, I usually get anxious and put out. I think more so because it fucks up my daily routine.

The good news is that with this 2 day break so far, I haven't really given a shit about smoking weed nor have I felt any anxiety. Actually, it's been kind of nice. I haven't felt that detached from pot in a while. However, I just laid up in my damn bed unable to fall asleep for 3 hours. I thought I was in the clear this time.

I can't figure if this is a chemical or mental issue.

It's just bloody weird. Any thoughts?

I noticed this too when I quit. Then I thought about the past. Before I started smoking it would always take me 3 hours just to fall asleep. Weed is way better than Ambien.
