Default Smoking Pot/Sleeping

Most people I talk to say that they can easily fall asleep afters smoking marijuana. I seem to be the exception to this, and was wondering how it works for you, the browser of Totse.

Usually when I go to bed, I have trouble falling asleep, as my mind is usually racing all over, thinking about different things.

This problem is exacerbated when I'm high. I seem to have the hardest time focusing on "nothing" which is my usual technique to fall asleep.


Secondly, I don't think i sleep soundly after smoking. I will wake up disoriented, thinking I'm someplace i'm not, believing my dreams are real.

Depends on the type/strength of the weed. You get a good body buzz going and your a bit tired, shut them eyes and let the weed soothe you.

Yea usually if i put on some music while im laying down ill be all jamming and thinking all kinds of shit until my mind just relaxes then next thing i know im asleep with my headphones in.

Yep, I get the same problem. Another thing that happens is I'll be dreaming that im in bed asleep. Its so weird, because I'll think I've woken up and done something stupid, but I havent lol. Dunno if anyone else can relate to that..

just focus on your breathing, listen to it, think about it, that is all u need 2 worry about, ur breathing, it will put u riiight 2 sleep. just like how meditation works. so stretch, get super comfy, get ur nose usable, and start breathing in for 10 seconds, exhaling for 7 seconds. the sound of ur breathing and or the counting (try to avoid counting, without it it is much better imo) will replace where thoughts would normally race. i get the racing thoughts too, i start filling up pages of notes b4 i go 2 bed lately, i guess cuz like at the end of the day u take all u learn and conclude with ur idle time, anyway, u may b manic, racing thoughts is a classic symptom. u prolly don't want 2 sleep when ur stoned 2 cuz like it's new and exciting, just a possibility idk much at all about u, but try that, in 10 seconds, out 7 seconds. maybe keep a pen n pad, or even better, a laptop next 2 u so u can write down thoughts u wanna keep and free ur mind of all the others. pce gl.

o n i seem 2 remember something about weed changing something with the REM process or something like that, may be completely full of shit but i do remember something about that, if you did some research and brought it back 2 totse that would be awesome.


This isn't your blog.

I smoke almost every day like a few hours before I go to bed. It helps a lot and I find that I wake up much easier in the morning. Then again in the morning I smoke a bit, it wakes me up more than coffee would

Different strains of weed have different highs, not to mention everybody's body chemistry is different which will be reflected with various reactions.

Generally Indica is going to burn you out, and make you fall asleep, where Sativa will get you hyper and give you energy. When I used to go into med shops, the people who worked there would reccomend different strains based on what I wanted it to do. For example, they would say 'smoke this one before bed to put you in a nice mellow relaxed state, and smoke this one before work to get you ready to move and be active."


the only thing smoking weed does for me when it comes to sleeping is i never remember my dreams.

This for the motherfucking lose. When I take a couple weeks off, my dreams come back and are vivid as ever. Then within a couple days of smoking again they completely go away and I just blank out while sleeping. So I have to choose between remembering my dreams, which I love, and smoking, which I love a little more...so no dreams for me :(

Why do you want to sleep when your high?
I can see being hyper as being a problem,
but hell we all get excited sometimes.

Don't worry I'm the same way. Marijuana actually seems to wake me up even if I smoke it late at night. I have been smoking for the past couple months after midnight and usually don't fall asleep until 3 or 4 in the morning. It actually helps me focus on whatever I may be doing at the moment. I can't say I remember my dreams very often but when I do they seem very real. When I wake up I have to think whether it really has happened or if I was only dreaming. Maryjane gives different effects depending on its quality and the person using it.

You're thinking about it backwards.

Anyway I have the same problem, except that its extreme hard for me to sleep regardless of whether I'm high or not.

Also, it's funny that everyone is mentioning how weed affects their dreams. I haven't smoked in 5 days and my dreams have been crazy as shit

The worst is when you run out of weed, then start having dreams again but the dreams are of you with a bunch of weed and nice new bongs...then you wake up and you reach for your huge stash, realize it was a dream, and your palm smacks into your forehead...

Since Im usually smoking Indica, Im usually pretty fucking chilled out / dazed after i smoke.. But I usually dont just go to sleep, i usually fall asleep while watching tv in a comfy position.


But I rarely try to fall asleep because i cant if i try.

I remember my dreams better and go to sleep faster if I smoked an hour or 2 before bed.

I have to smoke every night before bed because if it don't then i wont be able to go to sleep for an hour unless i'm physically tired.
When i stop smoking then it takes a good week for me to start getting to sleep rather quickly again.

When I get high I can't go to sleep for at least an hour. Thats doesn't annoy me though. It does bother me that I never want to get up though. When I get high before I go to bed, getting up in the morning is such a drag.

my mind usually races too much to fall asleep high, unless its a lot then i can just straight pass out.

the next morning though I'll feel pretty tired, as if I didn't get enough REM
