Tired the day after smoking

[Fengzi]

I remember hearing somewhere that weed reduces the amount of a persons REM sleep. That's the deep sleep when dreams occur. So, if your reducing your deep sleep it does make sense that you are tired the next day.

Tired the day after smoking Hi, just wondering if anyone gets really tired the day after smoking a few bowls...I used to smoke quiet regularly with no probs but cut down after having a collapsed lung, and now after smoking before going to bed or evening i usually feel like crap the day after....

i smoked up last night, and today i was a useless bag of feces. i fell asleep every class, and ended up not hearing the last dismissal bell and leaving like 20 minutes after school got out.

I disagree with that because i feel that under periods of heavy smoking i get more vivid dreams in that period.

i always notice that if i smoke and then go to sleep, i don't feel as rested in the morning as when i go to sleep sober. it's become obvious to me because i can go to bed at 3 AM and feel less tired waking up at 6 AM if i'm sober, but if i went to bed at 10PM adn woke up at 6 AM after being high the night before, i'll feel more tired.

I definitely agree. Now, if I'm planning on going to bed around 1am, I won't smoke after say 10pm... that way I'll still be functional waking up at 10 the next morning...

I don't dream at all when I am smoking, so I believe that REM is decreased when you get high. When I take breaks, after about 2 days of not smoking, I'll start dreaming again They are always very real, vivid dreams, definately more than I can ever remember. Your brain is apparrently trying to make up for the loss of REM sleep :thumbsup:
