    I know someone who needs it to sleep due to PTSD. I think limiting REM sleep is actually the point for them. Their dreams are horrendous, wake them up, and sometimes trigger panic attacks which makes getting back to sleep quite difficult.

      This is how it is for me. Weed keeps me from having ptsd nightmares. I don’t even remember the last time i dreamed. It’s been so many years. I don’t notice any sleep problems though, just zero dreams.
