I only sleep a few hours every night. Lots of ppl have suggested CBD/THC products. I tried these gummies in the first 2 pics. Started with one, then 2 then 3. Never did anything for me. So I went to back and the recommended these pills for me. They are quite a bit stronger. What does the FBBO group have to say about these. Or recommend something else. Keep in mined I’ve never tried anything in my life b4. Kim. P/s. I should add that this has been my nights for at least 25 years.

Lots of modern stuff can keep you from sleeping right.
Most common thing people tend to ignore: screen time before bed.
Your phone, a TV, a computer- all of these things have been proven to disrupt you, and too much screen time has been shown to increase frequency of illness.
Watching TV might be fine before bed, if you aren;t parked 10 feet from a 60" LCD screen.
Make sure none of that stuff is in your bedroom.

 

[oldkimmer]

I sleep approximately 3-4 hours a night.

 

[33 IMP]

I have found that three benadryl (or generics) knock my a$$ out.
I usually get about three or four hours at a stretch if I'm lucky. The dogs wake me up when it's potty time (never the gf it seems....)

 

[Mopar Hunter]

Have you tried Melatonin?

 

[3sloppydogs]

My wife uses Melatonin for her sleep issue. I went back to reading an actual book with real pages prior to bedtime. I also found following a schedule helps

 

[padam]

Don’t eat anything or drink anything but water or herbal tea 4 hours before bed.
Reading an actual book as stated above.
No tv in the bedroom.

Weed is easily the best thing for sleep, with no weird **** like sleeping pills do. BUT.. if you get the wrong thing you won't sleep you will actually be more awake. I can't see on the label what weed they used in those but if you ever go back you want to get "Indica" I will knock you out easy... I hate the **** and only use Sativa cause it gives me tons of energy..

There is a old joke "i'm a friend with all weed, just one of my friends wants me to go to bed at 8pm"

Last thing.. with edibles.. take a little and wait a hour.. never double down cause you think nothings happening.. you will have a real bad time if you take too much.. better off smoking, instant effects and no guessing at dosing.. Edibles are always a guess.

P.S. if you have any questions Kimmer feel free to PM me..

Yes I have. Does nothing for me. Kim

I find I’m grazing from after supper till bed time. It’s a nasty habit I know. I have been trying to break this habit but have been unsuccessful. I watch too much tv and surf the net too much also. Kim

Yep it keeps your digestive system going. Body won’t enter deep sleep.

Try eating a high fat meal for dinner. Red meat or chicken with the skin on. That will make you feel full for a long time

 

[padam]

Plus a lot of times in the evening if you feel hungry, it’s your body telling you you’re tired. Go to bed instead of eating.

I've suffered from insomnia in the past, so l can speak only from my experiences and speaking to experts.

I've read that you don't actually need 8hrs of sleep, but 6 is good.

THC gummies or smoking pot is NOT the answer! With the gummies you take 1 and then build up a resistance and then you need 2 and then 3... These are nothing but the new snake oil everyone is pushing. I've never tried these and never will, it's against my morals.

Drinking alcohol will relax you but once it's affect has worn off your back to where you started.

Caffeine stays in your body for many hrs after you drink it.

Depression/Anxiety will cause insomnia as you can't turn your mind off at night. You get into a flight or fight lying in bed waiting to fall asleep which will cause you to panic because you keep waiting to fall asleep.

Over the counter sleep gummies have helped me at times when I can't sleep, I've used these.

Magnesium pills are a natural supplement to relax your mind. I take 2 of these about 2hrs before bed. If l'm stressed out about something, l take 3 or 4.

B2 is also a natural supplement for the mind. I take 2 of these in the am along with my regular multivitamins.

Get outside, go for a walk to get sunshine on your face, it's a natural form of vitamin D, as well as serotonin and melatonin which are good for your mood as well as sleep. Also you get rid of stored up energy in your body.

Keep your bedroom dark and the temperature in the room cool, say 65*.

Get a sound machine or something with a fan like an air cleaner to use for white noise to drown out background noise.

You can also use lavender oil in a diffuser or spray on your pillow, or put it on your temples as it's also a natural way to help with sleep.

Taking a warm tub with Epsom salts with magnesium and lavender will relax your body.

If your having issues you need to see your doctor or a sleep specialist to get to the source of the problem.

I hope I've helped in some way.

He's right, one will have you up and the other should help. Ask at the dispensary for help in regards to which one is which. If you're on any medication, that could be a side effect, check that first. Good luck!

If you have the option, I discovered that I could turn off the screen on the bedroom tv leaving just the audio playing, I set the sleep timer for 30 minutes and put on something I’ve seen a thousand times. It helps keep my mind from running and I usually don’t make it past the half hour.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I have sleep apnea so I have the machine with a humidifier. It makes some noise. Kim

My sleep apnea went away when I lost a bunch of weight.
Also, sugar and carbs cause me a lot of inflammation, especially of my sinuses, which makes it hard to breathe, which makes it hard to sleep.

If I drink 1 beer I can feel my sinuses close up.

I really don’t have much problem falling asleep. Ten minutes or so. Just have the problem of staying asleep. Kim
