Insomnia

[Sbane]

Cannabis? Seriously lol you kids and your drugs.

Just wondering...have you ever tried it? If you haven't, how would you know? Also, is Ambien not a drug?

Ambien will be more effective than cannabis, but with more side effects such as grogginess and more importantly sleep walking (and sleep driving in some cases which is scary). Cannabis in its oral formulation is going to be even more effective at inducing sleep but it's not a wonder drug. And if Clarence has a heart condition, he probably should not take it.

Melatonin works best when your sleep cycle is messed up, thus leading to insomnia. If you go to bed at the same time every night, but can't fall asleep, it probably won't work since low melatonin levels is likely not the problem.

Nonsense advice.

And what is this based on? Just pulled it straight out your ass?

This is what I was basing my comments on.

And as the study shows, it is actually CBD, as opposed to THC which gives Marijuana its hypnotic properties. Perhaps if we had rational laws regarding Marijuana, Clarence could get a CBD capsule and maybe it could work for him without the other effects caused by THC.

Do you drink any caffeinated beverages in the afternoon or evening? I would definitely cut that out. Alcohol can ruin your sleep as well, but usually the second half of it. Also, don't exercise before going to bed and maybe try and read a book as opposed to watching the TV or being on your computer before you go to bed.

I am a diet coke addict during the day, so yes, and I drink coffee on occasion, you have to as a law student, reading hundreds of pages of monotony a week and listening to lectures for hours on end. I am well aware of the horrible things alcohol can do to my sleep cycle. I don't expect to sleep well on nights where I drink

For you, I think melatonin would work best since your body is just confused when it needs to go to sleep. The question was directed at Clarence actually.
