Blaze & Daze

Before this magical substance came into my world...it was a "lying there staring at the ceiling...waiting for a sleepy feeling..." gig all night long. Talk about weed hangovers. Oh my. And as tired as I was all day...if I took a nap I wouldn't sleep a wink all night long the next night.

My Mom had terrible hallucinations on gabapentin. Called the cops on me a couple times. She has dementia and doesn't require more altered thoughts.

I used to have a terrible sleep pattern. Took forever to fall asleep and I'd wake up wide awake at odd times. Kicked the ipad and TV out the bedroom and got militant with the time that I go to bed. Made it a lot better.

Oh and I get stoned out of my mind right before I go to bed.

We dim the lights by 9pm. No electronic devices in bedroom.

1/36 of a brownie recipe helps too.

I've noticed that a good hash sesh before bed with the gaba really kicks it into full on sleep mode in my system. I've heard of others who've had weird dreams/hallucinations on it but I also know folks using it for nerve pain who eat 3 of those 300 mg caps 3X per day. I can't even imagine taking that much (of anything...LOL). ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.

My sleep pattern was normal until the kids came....and while I was addicted to Oxy :D. Then my oldest son died and I was a fuckin' zombie all day and couldn't sleep at night for years and years. I'd get 3-4 restless hours...then I'd be up at 2:30...pacing the floor...cursing the night. Finally got a good (female) doc who was super concerned...and she prescribed the gaba for me. (which I didn't take for over a month until I saw her again and she freaked out/told me I had drug PTSD from my past addiction) Finally gave in....and am glad I did. Now she just refills it. No begging. No injections/procedures/etc. simply to get pills like my Pain Doc used to force me to do.... blahdeeblah. Fuckers. Live and learn.
 
I was born with colic, my mother swears I didn't sleep for more than 3 hours a night the first 5 months of my life. When I stopped crying and slept like a baby, she called the hospital and told them I was broken. I usually go for about 19-22 hour days with rarely more than 4 hours of sleep a night. If I sleep 8+ full hours it's usually on the back of at least two sequential 24 hour days without sleeping.

With a potent sativa, I can at least make my graveyard hours productive. In college I got my practice and papers done and in on time despite working full time on the graveyard shift, and going to school full time during the day. After college, I played gigs and/or found raves at night after working 50+ hour weeks repairing crashed WinServer boxes. In my 30's I watched my kid sleep through the night while trying to decide if I was glad she got her mom's sleep gene, or depressed she didn't get mine so I could have some company.

Without sativa, the 'insomnia' hours are useless and I'm staring at the ceiling wishing I could sleep, smoking Indica just makes my regular hours feel like my insomnia hours. The few times I tried sleep aids, I slept so rigidly I woke up with muscle cramps. I strangely get my most relaxing and restful sleep if I sleep in the afternoon. For every one elses convenience I usually try and go to bed around 3-5 in the morning, that usually gets me up between 6-9, but I'd really rather flip that and sleep 2-4 hours in the afternoon and have all night to play.
