Why can't I sleep after smoking pot? Sleeping tips / tricks?

Question:

Ok EVERYONE I know can fall asleep really easily after smoking, and it's pretty well known that pot makes you sleepy. But for me I can't sleep at all! So many thoughts race through my head that I can't sleep for hours. Normally I already have some trouble going to sleep unless I am REALLY TIRED because I start thinking about tommorow, the future, what I did today, etc... I think too much and pot seems to make me think even more which is NO good for sleeping.

Anyone have any helpful sleep tips for this?

Answers:

EASY DON'T SMOKE IT THEN .

GET OFF THE DRUGS...then try to sleep!

smoking weed gives you a different outlook on life, so you have to think about it for a while, i'd say either just calm your thoughts down, and just think about sleeping or take some sleeping pills, thats what i do, but dont quit somking pot, like everyone else will say to do because its awesome

Here's an old fashioned thought. Don't smoke pot.

try smoking till you pass out

drugs affect people in different ways. maybe pot just has the opposite affect on you. try stopping the pot and see what happens or go to the pharmacy and get melatonin; it is in the vitamin section. this usually works because alot of detox's will give patients either melatonin or benadryl to help them sleep.
