How does GHB affect the brain

GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) affects the brain by primarily acting as a central nervous system depressant. It binds to GABA-B receptors, enhancing the inhibitory effects of the neurotransmitter GABA, leading to sedation and relaxation. GHB also increases dopamine release, contributing to its euphoric effects. These actions can result in decreased anxiety, sedation, and altered mood. However, GHB can also cause serious side effects such as respiratory depression, loss of consciousness, and coma, especially at higher doses.

Does GHB affect sleep patterns

Yes, GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) can affect sleep patterns. If known to have sleep-promoting effects and is sometimes medically to treat narcolepsy and cataplexy, sleep disorders characterized by disruptions in sleep-wake cycles.

It may also help improve sleep continuity, leading to fewer awakenings during the night.

Therefore, it should only be under medical supervision and prescribed by a qualified healthcare provider for the treatment of specific sleep disorders. Recreational use of GHB outside of medical supervision can be dangerous and may lead to adverse effects on sleep and overall health.
