I used to be able to sleep like it was my job. Those days are long gone. Nothing helps me sleep anymore. My THC gummies used to work wonders but the insomnia got worse and now nothing short of xanax helps. I have done all the obvious things…exercise, no caffeine or sugar, winding down earlier at night etc to no avail. Fortunately I work from home so I can catch a brief nap during the day. And yes, I have forgone naps in order to sleep hard the following night–that doesn’t work either. Is there some secret technique, pill, whathaveyou that my menopausal friends know about and can share? Do you have something other than what was mentioned above that works for you. I’d love to know. I’m willing to try.
I so feel you, I don’t know what I’ll do if my THC edibles stop working - I use the kind with 5mg THC + 5mg CBN and sometimes lately I do pop awake through them. And I think that good pre-sleep hygiene is important, like lack of screens/caffeine/take a warm bath etc, but if those things weren’t the problem to start with, they are unlikely to be the full solution even if they’re helpful in setting the mood.
I did notice the other night that my sleep edible kicked in unreasonably quickly for some reason and in the midst of trying to negotiate my night routine while uncomfortably high, I accidentally took a second 5mg gummy because the jar was still sitting next to my night supplements and I was operating on muscle memory. I did sleep like a rock that entire night, I think I got 9 hours. I don’t want to double my dose again, but maybe taking 7.5mg instead of just 5 will help? Have you tried upping your THC dose to check?
