>I regularly go a couple days in a row with no sleep at all so that was amazing.

Yeah I routinely have sleepless nights as well which was what prompted trying weed in the first place - I was complaining about how sleeping pills knock me out but then I can't wake up again in the morning. I was always oversleeping my alarm and repeatedly showing up late to work. One of my stoner friends suggested I try smoking pot every night before bed and it worked. I didn't really have a problem with it until I discovered that smoking right when I woke up took the haze away from the night before and gave me an appetite for breakfast (before then I would mostly just not eat until lunch). After that it was all she wrote, I was (slightly) high all day every day for about the last five years, starting when I woke up and then I would get extremely baked right before bed. My wife never smoked in the mornings but she would smoke with me at night - for some reasons in the mornings it gave me energy, but in the evenings it made me tired - for her it just made her tired any time of the day.

So now I have sleeping problems again but at this point I'd rather have a sleepless night every now and again than keep spending the money we have been spending on this shit.
