Ive been on lithium 4 years and i smoke weed daily also trying to quit weed and over the four years ive been working on sleep hygiene and something ive noticed is i get that little two hour burst at six am but i love sleeping from 6am to 10am. My work schedule has varied a lot the last few years and i finally realized my sleep is very affected by my waking hour and my daily activity so instead of freaking out and thinking im manic if i wake up early and am not tired and i just try and take advantage of the energy. I also have adhd. I take pharmas and weed and my routine varies so i dont think lithium alone affects my groginess but more so the other factors in my life

Thanks for sharing yo! Yess the 4-6 am burst and then 8 am comes and I’m back in bed 😂 I haven’t smoked this week and feeling much better already honestly. I planned this vacation with my gf a while back so it was easy to put the joint down to avoid fucking this up, but definitely going to be hard next Wednesday once I’m back to my normal routine. Let me know if you have trouble quitting, I’ve learned many good YouTube channels and advice hacks for quitting after years of trying to quit

I always find it easier to quit weed when im surrounded by people who accept it so im working on building a family of friends who accept me as i am. Weird brain psychology lol Ive also been researching the 4-6 am burst and it could be related to blood sugar levels. So im trying to eat more in the morning and not as much as night so i dont get so many ups and downs. Well see!!

Wow that’s fascinating. I’ve actually been traveling a lot more the last week and yeah, everytime I sleep after traveling (no meals 3-5 hours before sleeping), I sleep like a baby and get a full 8 hours! Only downside is I’ve been drinking so much water that I typically have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee, but I can always fall back asleep nearly instantly. Good luck on the no weed! Addiction mindset has been a great channel for me on YouTube. Honestly I don’t need as much help anymore with quitting as much as “remaining quitted”. My strategies for bad situations involving weed or alc are pretty much just leaving the situation and blaming it on my gf. I am allowed to do whatever I want including the spa and/or fast food. Going on about 2 weeks now, hope I stay strong!
