Why does wearing the nicotine patch result in strange dreams but not from the nicotine I ingest beside cigarettes?
Answers: With the patch, you are getting a constant, timed dose of nicotine. When you smoke, the nicotine is delivered within 6-7 minute doses periodically. Since you don't smoke when sleeping, the effects of nicotine are not experienced during REM sleep, the dream state. I had impossible to tell apart problem when I quit using the patch. I then took it rotten before bed-time, and put a topical one on each morning. The dreaming diminished straight. Good luck on your quit.
it isn't the nicotine, it is the greater amount of oxygen the brain is getting when you quit smoking.
