Insomnia...

[toughmudderdave]

For years I've suffered with it. Trouble getting to sleep, trouble staying asleep. Often times I wake up in the middle of the night only to stare at the ceiling for 2 hours before I get up and put on a movie to fall asleep to.

I cannot smoke day and night....simply can't do it. The reason I quit over 30 years ago was because it simply got me "too stoned". Well, I've decided to resume smoking pot but only right before bed and only a few hits. Seamaiden and I now wrap up our evening together doing this and I have to say this...

I've never slept better in years. If I have to wake up during the night, I have no problem falling right back to sleep. I've been feeling better than I ever have.

It is crazy you say that, because now that I have not smoked for a year, I get better, deeper sleep.

I was also smoking upwards of 4 grams a day, which most definitely had an effect. I dream more now than I ever did when I smoked, and even though I am tired as shit the first five minutes after waking up, I am much more well rested now then when I was burning.

I had real bad insomnia when I was in my pre-to late teen years. Mind would go 1000 miles a minute thinking about things. Now that my thought process has changed, I sleep a lot better also.

The sex has been pretty good, too, hasn't it?

Heh...**giggle** Well I wasn't going to bring that aspect up, but since you've thrown it out there.....yes...It's been insanely terrific. **grin**

That's a "bit" more than me...heh. 2-3 hits immediately before bed seems to be doing the trick for me. Oh...and of course although I'm a "novice", I am smoking what Seamaiden is growing and this much I do know....my wife knows her craft and its reflected in the quality of her finished product.

my whole life I have suffered some level of insomnia... before I began smoking it would take 2-3 hours laying in dark silence nightly just to fall asleep... thats why I began using cannabis... cause I could pass out as soon as I hit the pillow, which otherwise never happened for me.

lately though smoking has had demising returns and I have found it harder to fall asleep once again...

I have found creativity helps... I am having a good week so far, but before that I had been so messed up by sleep... either I wouldn't fall asleep until 6am or later and sometimes was up for more than 24 hours (fucks with your mind... making you useless) I'd end up forcing myself to stay awake to try and fall asleep at a decent time. And I find that when I release my creativity throughout the day, I am less likely to be kept awake with incessant ideas flowing through my head like a class 5 rapid, and can fall asleep and wake up refreshed instead of feeling groggy and lethargic

[D. B. Doober]

you seriously dont usually smoke before bed and have insomnia? Damn bro. I dont sleep if i dont have weed. I end up staying up until 5am then sleep for like 3 hours

 

[supermanlives]

i have trouble sleeping but i am great at passing out. got me some whiskey for tonight.

 

[Hammerhead]

cannabis can keep you awake at least it has for me. Depends on the strain....

 

[greenmatter]

infuse some olive oil dave!

way better for you than brownies or cookies .......... and SM seems to be supplying ample amounts of sugar anyway

more power to you both!

I have found that, the cleaner my liver, the longer i am able to stay asleep.

mostly, my mind is too wired and my body too sore to lay down for more than 6 hours at a time, though
