Sometimes I'd get this weird bodylock and would feel completely conscious in a sleeping body. Getting up was a struggle, too. I felt melted into the bedsheets.

But marijuana is great. I bounce out of bed when it's light out. I know the frustration of not being able to sleep when you're out of weed. This might be a little girly, but it really helps me - go to a bath and body outlet and get some lavender-scented bath salts. Take a really warm bath with the salts, and read or play a handheld. Music makes me wired, so I usually do it in silence.

Before you get in the bath, have a bedtime snack of toast and something - toast and peanut butter, toast and Nutella (my favorite), grilled cheese - and some milk. The carbs and the milk will make you sleepy. By the time you get out of the bath and into bed, you'll be all set. Give it a shot sometime

EDIT: Budsmoker, you are right about excercise - it does help you sleep - but you have to be finished no less than three hours before bedtime, or you'll stay wired for even longer.
wow you sound exactly like me. i was a bennadryl junkie forever... that shit is really bad for you too over time and tolerance builds so quick...

then i found bud for sleep... and now i cant sleep without it either. it makes me fall asleep so quick and easy and get a full 8 hrs to be all refreshed the next day. i would die without mj because i would be so sleep deprived.

btw, im a dude and ill admit that on cold nights i like to sit in a hot bubble bath and smoke till i sleep... safely of course. but yea always always after a grill cheese or peanut butter too... how wierd. or spaghetti.

peace
melodious fellow Reviewed by melodious fellow on . Insomnia and marijuana? I apologize if this is in the wrong section. Please do what you must if it is in the wrong place. Ever since I can remember ive had trouble falling asleep early, that is untill i discovered marijuana. I have been smoking once a night for the past 4 months and i have never felt so revived, awake, alert, happy and chipper. I recently ran out of bud and i havent fallen asleep before 3 am since and I have to get up at 6 am every morning. I figured that i had too much energy and i was burning off Rating: 5
