Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep.

I've had periods in my life when I have not smoked pot in weeks and the sleeplessness continues, but than usually if I get high I will sleep well the following night, but it doesn't last... Anybody know of any link from insomnia to marijuana?

It no longer put me to sleep and now I am reliant on meds whether I take pot or not. I did read on a forum that a woman who had smoked pot for 20 years gave it up and her sleep didnt come right for two years after that.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
