Why do I feel unrested when I dream?

I go through phases where, when I sleep, I don't have any dreams (that I remember, at least). I sleep well and I wake up rested. Every few months I go through a week or two when I have nights full of incredibly vivid dreams and I wake up remembering at least five or six of them. Because of all these vivid dreams, I wake up feeling far less rested than I do when I don’t dream at all. Is there a particular reason for this? Does dreaming more at night mean your sleep is less restful?

Is smoking a disposable weed pen dangerous?

Dear Alice,

I recently bought a disposable weed cart. My friends and I have smoked joints and bud, but I wanted something convenient that didn’t require a lighter. At first, I thought disposables would be fine for my health bc they don’t have nicotine and I don’t smoke cigarettes. But now i'm worried that they might also be dangerous. I believe the kind I got is dispensary grade, but I don’t know if that matters.
