Does ecstasy cause insomnia

Answer 1

In my opinion it does. First of all if you take a pill for a night out you have no trouble staying awake and dancing all night. Then when you think you'll go home and rest, actually you don't feel like sleeping, so you stay up all day. Evening comes and you know you're tired and go to bed, but the sleep seems very light and a bit strange, you seem to spend the night in a trance rather than asleep. You don't feel very rested. The nights after that are fairly normal. I wouldn't say insomnia becomes a regular thing. I never took more than two pills max, usually one, and only two or three times over a couple of months in the year, but I could imagine that anyone taking ecstasy every week for a few weeks might well have sleep as disturbed as if jet-lagged all that time, because of losing a regular sleep pattern.
