How does Marijuana disrupt your sleep?
Sources:
THC can make you fall asleep faster, but it disrupts sleep by suppressing REM sleep and can lead to dependence-related sleep problems.
- Regular THC use reduces REM sleep: People may remember fewer dreams while using it.
- Stopping THC can trigger intense dreams: REM rebound can produce vivid dreams, but the brain may not recover all the REM sleep lost during use.
- Withdrawal and tolerance can disrupt sleep: With continued use, some people need more THC for the same sleep benefit; stopping can cause severe rebound insomnia.
- Faster sleep onset does not mean restorative sleep: THC may help people fall asleep faster, but the resulting sleep pattern is not ideal and may not provide deep, restorative sleep.
