Research found drinking even a small amount of alcohol before bed can adversely affect sleep quality. People who do not get enough REM sleep can experience emotional problems. (original.newsbreak.com)

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.
