Thread: I can't fall asleep, haven't slept in 2days

SMOKE WEED! ur not smokin enough if you're not gettin knocked out.. and thats why you have bad dream recall too... the pot. but ima pot smoker and with persistant dream journalling and working hard to remember your dreams, you can get good recall again... just smoke weed safely, and in houses. try not to drive around with it. cops are bitches over where i live... i got busted... =[ =[ =[ drug test on monday.. hahaha but yea. thats my advice.

oh and pack a bong before you go to bed, so when you wake up, as soon as you can, take a huge bong rip, and hold it in as you try to go back to sleep... it used to always work for me...

Cool , how dark are your eyes?

im not an expert by ANy stretch of the imagination, but maybe even smokin weed is messing with your sleep capabilities... just a thought, and i wudnt know cause i have never smoked weed lol

Knock of weed for a week, see if that helps. If it doesn't, then just resume torturing your body.
You might want to try melatonin afterwards. It's the chemical in our brain that regulates sleep patterns and such. It's not an over-the-counter drug though, so you'll have to go to the doctor and explain to him you need some good sleeping help, perhaps suggest melatonin. Becoming dependant on a drug to sleep is not too funny, so don't overdo it.

good advice....what da?

When are you trying to sleep? Hint: Don't try sleeping after 6:00AM if you are sensitive to light.

Laying off the bong should help... With everything.

I have a lot of trouble falling asleep. Other than drugs the only thing that consistently works for me is exercise, especially cardio. It might be worth it for you to try a hypnotic medication, or anti-anxiety like valium, just don't abuse it.

God, the problems people create for themselves.

Just eat healthy and exercise, and don't stare at a TV or computer screen for too long.

I'm fed up with people taking all these extreme measures to get to sleep. Stupid education system.

Actually it's OTC status depends on where you are, here in the U.S. it's an OTC and you can get it at pretty much any grocery store or pharmacy in the supplements aisle.

i recommend seeing a doctor if it gets to the point where you are dying to fall asleep but can't. other than that there's always exercise and a healthy diet. i have kind of the same problem, but once i do fall asleep (it takes anywhere from 1-3 hours) i'm pretty much knocked out.

good luck!

Okay, I haven't really researched the subject. I just know some people use it, and from what I remember, they said they couldn't get it OTC. I could be wrong of course.

Smoking weed regularly messes with a lot of people's sleep habits and its awful for dream recall. If you feel you need weed to get to sleep or if you're smoking it when you get up in the morning right away, then chances are your habit is not healthy and will make sleeping difficult.

But, Hell. Someone said the exact opposite of what I said. So I suggest that you try it both ways. If you're taking a lot of weed at the moment, go easy for a while and see if it makes you feel any better.

I smoke weed myself, its great. But if I've had some I don't expect my sleep cycle to work how I like it and I expect my dream recall to take a beating for a while.

Oh, thinking of. I also recommend that half an hour before you intend to go to bed you stop whatever you're doing and take some time to unwind, read a book, meditate, play an instument. Whatever helps you.

Isn't weed illegal in the U.S. ?

Yep. and everyone still smokes it. Is it legal in japan?

yeah definitely. it's also even more illegal in Jamaica but EVERYONE smokes it there. so it being illegal has nothing to do with anything. it's not a big "deal" lol.

Its big time illegal , if you get caught with illegal drugs than you basically just ruin your future for life and also your family name.

Lol , how much sleep have you got since you posted this thread?

hmmm six hour...
I only smoke once this week I honsetly thnk thats why I can't sleep
Lack of pot
haha

yeah that happens to a lot of heavy smokers. if you manage to hold for a couple of weeks you should be back to normal. or you can smoke and continue to do so, in order to go to bed.

I smoked a joint and im pretty burntout...Im tired and hopefully I can sleep.

If quiting weed doesn't help it may be insomnia. I don't know if it actually sets on or if people are born with it...or it may just be the weed.

I would never suggest you quit weed Weed is good. My only suggestion is that you smoke in moderation.

Lack of weed, when your body is used to relying on it for sleep, will cause you problems. Smoke a lot of weed, and that should stop. But remember that the insomnia will probably come back next time you haven't got enough weed, and that you might struggle with dream recall more than people who smoke in moderation.
