3. Make sure that bed and pillows are comfortable for correct sleep. A firm bed will give entire body support and relax. Keep extra pillows to sleep on side.

4. Some people may not like taking warm bath; they can soak their feet in warm water for fifteen to twenty minutes before going to bed. Apply oil and massage each foot before going to sleep.

5. Use the mood tracker to identify whether foods, beverages, certain activities or other substances have a negative impact on the ability to sleep. Mood tracker tells about the good things that promote sleep. Using mood trackers, the causes for sleep problems can be identified.

He is not entirely wrong here. Some people will have problems with sleep no matter what "tips" they try out. There is just simply a chemical problem that prevents them from getting good sleep. Marijuana can help with sleep and it is far less addicting then most sedatives and other drugs.

That being said, you do need to be careful. I was always a light sleeper with sleep problems, until I started smoking. It helped me sleep, but then I found I would smoke a lot right before going to bed which over a period of time made it worse while I was sober. If you want to have weed help you sleep, smoke a small amount a few hours before you go to sleep and don't do it everyday for months or years on end right before you sleep. Really depends on the person.

I would like to say though, that I didn't become addicted because I smoked it to sleep. I became a heavy smoker for other reasons, it just impacted that part of my life because of my unwise misuse of the drug.

I'm just sharing my experiencies.

I know some people need prescription sleep aids for their insomnia which are often powerful sedatives which can become very addictive and produce a dependency. In that sense, marijuana is not that much different if you are using it to get better sleep. The negative impact it had on my sleep produced moderate insomnia that lasts until my withdrawals go away. Apparently this is rare, since all the heavy stoners I know do not get withdrawals what so ever when they stop.

I do see what you are trying to say though. Substituting poor sleeping habits and routines for a drug addiction is a bad choice.

Sorry, I'm pretty new here but...

...are you SERIOUSLY suggesting I obtain illegal substances to help with sleep?! :shock:

The stress of trying to find a "dealer" and hoping I don't get busted by the cops would add to the insomnia immensely!!

I suppose it depends on where you live. Some states/countries have harsher penalties for marijuana.

Around where I live you can get it from practically anyone and the penalty for being caught is a fine. Not to mention the cops around here don't care too much about it. Where I live, I've seen several people openly smoke weed in public places with other people around...no one did a thing, not many care too much.

Ok, now my curiosity is piqued. When you say you can "get it from practically anyone" what exactly do you mean?

1) Do you mean friends? All of my friends are married with children. I hardly think they'd be my go-to for weed. Are your friends all stoners?
2) Do you mean off the streets? I don't think I'd trust our local homeless either.
3) Do you mean you go to bars and clubs to get it? I'm pushing 32 - LONG past my seedy club-hopping prime.
4) How much is this "fine" you have to pay? I'm assuming you have paid since you know about it. Does it not go on your record? I know that's a lot of questions but I'm truly interested.

Also there is the rare possibility that someone like me, with a clean record, would have the book thrown at them for getting busted with an illegal substance. I would shame my family and maybe even have to do time.

Around here, people do NOT smoke weed publicly. Why would you flaunt in front of the cops like that? You risk going to jail if you do.

Alright, to questions 1-3. First of all, you sound like you do not want to get into the habit or enjoy smoking weed so why the intense interest in where I get it? I don't assume you are looking for tips on where to get some bud.

When I mean you can get it from practically anyone, it is a bit of an over-exageration, but A LOT of people smoke weed around here. People you wouldn't even suspect in the slightest, and then there is also plenty of obvious stoner types. A lot of my friends are stoners, so I can get weed through them. A lot of my friends are friends of stoners, so I can get weed through them. Just about everyone around here is friends with or at least knows someone who smokes weed or can get it. So chances are, if you know someone and you really want some weed, you can get some eventually. A good majority of the smokers around here talk about weed openly. If you are really desperate and you hear a conversation, you can try and butt in. I never do this since I have plenty of other sources but you get the idea. Basically, if you want some, it's not too hard to find it.

1) You'd be suprised at which 'grown-ups' who are married and have kids smoke weed. A lot of them do.

2) No don't get drugs from the streets. You can get ripped off, shorted, tainted, or worst of all, narked. I never do it, never have, never will. Not worth the risk. Weed is a little safer than hard drugs in that sense, you don't really need to find a street dealer.

3) I never bar hop or go to clubs. First of all I'm not even legal drinking age and I hate that kind of social atmosphere anyway. I am a very solitary a-social person and I still find it easy to run into people who smoke.

4) Possesion up to or under 1oz is punishable by a fine of $500-2000. Over an oz or in multiple containers and they can land you with intent to distribute and throw you in prison for many years. So if you are safe you can avoid that. I have never been caught or had to pay a fine despite years of very risky behavoir. Only 1 person I know has had to pay a $500 fine. The general atmosphere around here is that marijauna is pretty tame. A lot of cops would rather not bother with hasseling stoners. Sometimes they will just confiscate it and give you a warning. Othertimes the will just give you a warning and tell you to keep it under wraps and be safe. A had a few friends that were caught but the cops just gave them a warning and told them to be careful about smoking and be safe about it. I have a totally clean record, and I intend to keep it that way. Just because someone experiments with drugs, or is even a hardcore stoner, does not mean they are some criminal filth with a record and no respect for society or the laws. A lot of stoners are some of the most generous, easy going, open-minded, forgiving and nicest people I know.

Basically, we live in a different cultures. Smoking weed around here, while generally not socially acceptable and looked down upon, does have quite a large counter-culture following and is not punished or persecuted severly. I have seen plenty of people smoke in public. I don't do it myself, it is unwise because if a cop sees you they will bust you, but it is no huge deal. The atmosphere regarding weed is more laid back. Most people around here realize it is just another recreational drug like alcohol and that marijuana is mostly harmless.
