And then, why do they return so vividly if I take a tolerance break? \"\n_____________________\nAccording to an 2014 article on LeafScience.com, here is their answer to your question:\nMarijuana and REM Sleep\n\nThe brain is most active during REM sleep and most dreaming is thought to occur during this stage. Numerous studies have shown that using marijuana before bed reduces REM sleep. Researchers believe this is why marijuana users report fewer dreams.\n\nDuring the night, the brain cycles through 4 different stages of sleep, spending the most time in deep sleep (or slow-wave sleep) and REM sleep. The amount of time spent in these two stages is closely related. In fact, studies show that marijuana lengthens the time the brain spends in deep sleep, which leads to less REM sleep.\n\nIngesting THC or marijuana before bed also appears to reduce the density of rapid eye movements during REM sleep. Interestingly, less REM density has been linked to more restful sleep.\n\nMost studies on marijuana and REM sleep have looked at the effects of THC. However, other compounds in marijuana may interfere with THC’s effect on sleep. For example, CBD has been found to promote wakefulness compared to taking THC alone.\nWhat Happens When Quitting\n\nRegular users of cannabis experience an abnormal increase in REM sleep when use is stopped. This is called the REM rebound effect, which leads to longer and denser periods of REM sleep. The REM rebound explains why cannabis users often experience highly vivid dreaming when trying to quit.\n\nThe sleep disturbances that occur during cannabis withdrawal usually begin 24-72 hours after quitting and can persist for up to 6-7 weeks.\n\nInterestingly, the REM rebound is not unique to cannabis use. Other substances that interfere with sleep, such as alcohol and sleep medications, can cause REM rebound too. What’s more, people who are sleep deprived often undergo a rebound in non-REM sleep.\n\nThe rebound effect appears to be the body’s way of coping with being deprived of certain stages of sleep.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7284-markdown","title":"Hello Doc, Im taking Ambian10mg for sleep, and stopped for 7 days","slug":"hello-doc-im-taking-ambian10mg-for-sleep-and-stopped-for-7-days","content":"\"I'm nauseous everyday.

Med Cann as a sleep aid and anxiolytic (anxiety reducer) are among two of the most popular reasons people come to our site to get a med recc.

Sometimes, MD's such as myself will ask questions and find out that the pt has other issues such as sleep apnea that need to be addressed by the pt's primary MD.  Anxiety is a very complex issue and in my practice, I always reccomend a multi-modal approach ; in other words, I try to find root causes and offer both cann and non-cann recommendations.  In my experience, anxiety is never solved by medication alone, be it a prescription pill I recommend or med cann.

I suggest you start with these two searches, and then if you have further specific questions, feel free to post them:\n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/search/pain\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/search/insomnia\n\nmark\n_____________________\nHi Friend,\n\nMany people are going to recommend you indica for pain and sleep.  However, I would go about it a little differently.  For sleep I would use an indica with a kava extract and some CBD oil.  If that doesn't work you could add passionflower and valerian root.  And I'm sorry, if that doesn't work... nothing natural short of opium will.  \n\nFor pain, you really need to identify the root cause of the pain in order to get a true sense of what's really going to work.  There are too many different types of pain and some will respond better to anti-inflammation, others need endorphins to kick in while still others may be much more neurological and CBD can really help with that.  But take it easy.  Generally, the best thing for pain is rest and some MJ can really aid in that department.  I know it's not what someone also suffering from insomnia wants to hear but the plus side is... focus on the insomnia first and the pain by rights, should improve.\n\ne420bar","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7122-markdown","title":"Can you recommend edibles for sleep. ","slug":"can-you-recommend-edibles-for-sleep","content":"\n_____________________\nCannabis is the best sleep aide \"not on the market\". It is safe, effective and affordable. Compared with inhalation, Edibles take longer to have effects, but can provide a longer duration of action. Edibles (and tinctures) can be very effective for helping people stay asleep through the night. I personally have found great success using a 1:1 CBD:THC oral oil. Generally indica strains will have \"in da couch\" effects and help provide relaxation and improved sleep. However other patients report improved sleep from many different kinds of cannabis. Patients who suffer from sleep apnea report improved sleep by using cannabis. This has been confirmed by studies that show cannabis helps to relax some of the muscles in the back of throat that contribute to a constricted airway. Try some different types of cannabis and see what works best for you.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nWe carry a number of edibles that are ideal for sleep and continually receive high remarks by our customers for aiding their sleep.

It is safe, effective and affordable. It is a very diverse plant and can have different effects based on the genetics of the plant, where it is grown, how it is grown and how is it utilized. Indica and sativa are the two ends of a wide spectrum with hybrids in-between. Indica can put one \"in da couch\", and aides with sleep, relaxation and pain. Sativa is often more uplifting and energizing, helping with appetite, depression. Utilizing cannabis by inhalation (smoking, vaping, dabbing) is the most rapid method, while sublingual and oral administration take longer to \"kick it\" and last a bit longer. Edibles and suppositories have the longest duration of effects and often take a few hours to reach peak effects. Start with a small dose and increase as needed.\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nEveryone is different, so it really depends on what works best for you and may come down to a bit of trial and error. The one thing you'll want to keep in mind no matter what method you choose is going with Indica strains over Sativa strains. Indica strains relax the mind and body while sativa strains stimulate the body and mind. Beyond that, the method you decided to use will come down to what's best for you. You can go the conventional route of smoking, but you can also vape, use edibles, tinctures, pills, etc. \n\ngreendoorwest","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7066-markdown","title":"I have trouble relaxing enough to fall asleep in the evening.

I would say that Master OG made me feel the sleepiest the quickest and that Pennywise is worth noting as it is a CBD strain, adding an extra dimension of relaxation. If any of your sleeplessness is due to anxiety or racing thoughts, a CBD strain will go a long way to help you rest.\r\n\r\nEach strain may affect you differently, so you may want to experiment with a few heavy indicas to see which works best with your own chemistry.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nWe sell a great tincture that is designed specifically to aid with sleep: Forest Nymph Sweet Dreams Tincture.
