are they all wrong?

I've always heard so many people talk about how epic their sleep and dreams are after quitting alcohol OR weed, people who never quit or take a break would just never know.

Sleep /better/ without weed? How does that work? Genuinly interested.

Weed is actually terrible for sleep, and I say this as an everyday user.

It stops you from entering rem sleep. People report a lot of dreams after quitting because of a phenomenon known as "rem rebound" where you will have a lot of rem sleep.

Thank you for being the only person responding to my genuine question. I'll give it a go.

It’s called “how everyone else does it.”
