Trying to stop smoking pot but........I CAN"T SLEEP!

Anne over a year ago

I'm so tired I could slap somebody. Lying in bed right now, eyes burning but can't sleep. I need my sleep! I'm never going back to that c**p again cause this is crazy! Plus, I'm noticing that I don't really eat, just nibble. No appetite really. Cold sweats as I lie here. Not sleeping. Guess ill take a walk. Stay strong peeps.

I am currently on my third week of not smoking and I was a very heavy user. I was at the point I only smoke crystal from the dank cuz The plant itself didn't do anything anymore but now I'm 3 weeks into not smoking I have had a constant headache for the last week and everytime I manage to fall asleep I jump and wake myself up. The NyQuil brand of sleep aid call zzzquil is the only thin that I can find to help but I thought after 3 weeks I'd be fine but apperently not.

Here are the tips I keep hearing from doctors and friends:

1. Excercise and be active during the day, regardless of how you feel. It will make sleep come easier at night and will raise the natural Dopamine levels in your brain (the pleasure chemical THC causes your brain to release).Connecting with friends, helping others, and spending time outside also helps raise natural Dopamine levels

2. Wake up at the same time everyday, even if you barely slept. And even if you didn't get any sleep at all, don't nap during the day--just wait until nighttime to fall asleep

3. If you find yourself just staring at the celining at night, force yourself to get up and accomplish as much as you can until you collapse

4. Before bed, turn off all lights and do not watch tv or go on your computer. Read a book, play relaxing music, or try a natural sleep aid like melatonin or chamomile tea.

I'm in the same place--I haven't gone more than 3 days without smoking in the past 4 years, but am trying to quit it cold turkey. I actually got hooked on pot and sleeping pills in an effort to self medicate my sleeping problems, but my substance abuse led to it being more of a negative force in my life than anything. I know plenty of heavy pot smokers who have successfully quit, and we can all do it with self discipline and patience.

Without pot my mind races at night. My work is physically exhausting (physical labor in a large factory) on an average day I lift 20k lbs broken down into 50 lb loads, so it can't be that I have too much left over energy. I don't drink coffee. I don't drink alcohol. But if I don't smoke a little bit, before I want to sleep, my brain DOESNT stop. I try focusing on breathing slowly, still nothing. I tried warm milk and tea, still nothing. I've been off pot for 4 months. What is wrong with me?

Hay, i am 29 an have been a heavy user of pot since i was 17. I quit 4 weeks ago today and i still dont sleep. I go to the gym nearly everyday to try an tire myself out for bed time but it doesnt work as well as what i want. I dont sleep for more than 4 hours a night and it gets me down. Im determined to get through it but i expect this to go on for a longtime. After the swets are freaky dreams, then after the dreams comes nothing but sleepless nights. I hope theres an end to it but it feels a long time away. I will do this no matter what. Keep strong peeps

I want to quit to so bad but its as though I use it as the comfort thing to do. It's so peaceful and relaxing BUT why does it have to be so bad for you! What I always do to quit is take Trazodon at night. Them suckahs is strong! Thats the only thing that will put me to sleep. I've quit plenty of times. Now I just need to quit quiting and just be done with it. Far as appetite it always takes me at the most 7 days to get that back. The older folks around here call it happy smoke. That's a shame that its true. I could be upset or just not feeling up to par. Soon as I blow its as though I have a whole new outlook on life. Again shame it has to be so bad for you though

All of you make weed sound like it's some hardcore addictive stuff. You're problems are not from bud. Figure it out by asking real doctor. And unless you live in colorado I don't recommend telling them about you're drug use.

Stay awake for 2 nights or at least 24 hours, you will sleep no problem. After you wake up you might crave weed but your sleeping pattern would be fixed

That sounds just about like me. I cant sleep, and i cant find something interesting to do. And even if i do i just feel like i dont want to do it. I usually get high and game gta 5. Now just thinking about playing that game seems extremely depression. Every thing sucks right now. I know i need to stop though it getting ridiculous im smoking a half every three days just think back to when you were a kid and didnt smoke weed we were happy without it back then and slept just fine. Look at us now. Everything sucks unless you have weed... look at foreign homeless people they dont smoke weed and they're happier then us. Make a change for the best weed is the invisible devil. Itll hit you hard where it hurts the most and youll blame yourself but its not ur fault its just the drugs messing with the addiction part of our brain. I know im going to be a lot happier when i dont even think about taking a bong rip before dinner or etc. I just want to live life again and love explore the world with my weed funds. Lol never give up!!!! Everybody matters and everybody is beautiful, shows us your real you cuz nobody likes the guy who rather hang out with a plant on a friday night ;)
