I'm sure this is at least party a myth. I know people who have smoked weed every day for 30+ years and worked full time jobs, some racing kids etc.. Wouldn't they have severe fatigue or something without decades of REM sleep?

I'm on the fence since admittedly I've smoked daily for 10+ years and usually feel tired though I equated that more to sleeping 5-6 hours average and waking up at 530 for construction work.

I began smoking weed to combat severe insomnia. I went from being severely depressed, always irritated, unmotivated, constantly sleeping, to now having a strict 11pm-7am sleep schedule. I wake up every morning without an alarm, I feel SO much better, I'm happier, I've been able to stop being a depressed POS and go to the gym and finish my degree.

It's crazy how much sleep affects your life. I genuinely do not know if my mental health would have improved if not for the sleep benefits of cannabis. I'd tried EVERYTHING for sleep. Literally everything. This is the only thing that's worked for me.
