too much focus on calling a strained medical and not enough focus on what you as an individual need to help you sleep. One thing that helped me for several years successfully was smoking all day but not smoking anymore once it start getting dark and I would go to sleep well later. now I sometimes need to use some high THC doses to get back to sleep if I have certain type of panic attack. I find it a CBD vape will sometimes help me relax if I'm tense at bedtime. One thing I've learned is by phasing effects of whatever I'm using some things will just like the videos talking about wake you up with Windows and relax you with a stronger or weaker dose. Cannabis definitely affects sleep stages.
I’m on shift work schedule, waking up wee hour, staying up all night, and go to bed at ridiculously early hour 😅😅😅
However, I can only speak for myself, since I started using CBD 15mg before the sleep, my sleep quality has significantly improved 🎊 ( falling asleep easily and more REM sleep)
And also it is encouraging to hear a positive comment from Matthew Walker, Ph.D. on CBD❤
Thanks to doctors Attia and Walker for the simply outstanding talk.
I am a psychotherapist trained in clinical psychology and advise sleep risks related to THC as discussed as well as a bevy of other risks. I do advise getting outdoors and exercising during the day and eating heathy Mediterranean or Asian type diet rich in omega three fats and whole foods. Both benefit the endocannabinoid system and clearly good for the brain writ large and sleep as compared to the sedentary lifestyle and the standard American diet (SAD)
I would love to hear a deep dive by Dr. Attia on the endocannabinoid system and it's optimization
I do all the optimal sleep hygiene practices (no alcohol around bedtime, morning light, evening blue blockers and red light, magnesium etc.), but even then there's no guarantee that every night will be amazing sleep. I occasionally hit a THC vape cart before bed and sleep very well, don't get up in the middle of the night and wake up refreshed. Also, HRV levels are high, so I'm finding it hard to believe that there's a problem here. Delta 8 works pretty well too, but I don't wake up refreshed. CBD/CBN is somewhat effective, but doesn't come close to the punch of THC or Delta 8.
Hell yeah it does, 57 and been making my own cannacooconut oil for decades and a few spoonfuls before bed works like elephant tranquilliser with a guaranteed 8 hours minimum deeeeep no rem sleep and the added bonus you wake up basted and toasted better than any smoking high :") nice mate..
Love Matthew Walker’s book and what I learned in reading it. It wasn’t until I read the book along with taking my WHOOP recovery data seriously did I start taking sleep seriously for better performance.
I think you are correct when you say cbd works on the anxiety of insomnia which is helpful. I make my own cbd oil and have helped friends with anxiety/sleep issues.
I find more times than not, that if I lift weights fairly hard w effort approx. 30 min before turning in…I sleep more soundly. The old…kill the body and the head will fall~
I've been using about 20mg of Delta 8 gummy to help sustain my sleep. I'll take it just before bed. I usually have no problem going to sleep but can wake at 2am, and not go back to sleep. With D8, even if I wake, I stay relaxed enough to go back to sleep without the grogginess of "sleep meds". I have a Gen 3 Oura ring, and generally sleep scores are mid to high 80s. I think the score would further improve if I went to bed earlier.
dude, I lived in a car in LA, with very serious ank spon, so bad that both hips were totally destroyed and as a result both femoral heads totally stuck to acetabulum's…..spine rigid like a bamboo and esr and crp very high…..in the dispensaries they have all manner of strains and all levels of potency,,,,cannabis buds similar to humans in that they are all different ….would you discuss the lives of a 60 year old Kechua speaking Peruvian woman living on less than a dollar a day high up in the andes and a 20 year Oligarchs girlfriend living in Kensington on 2000 dollars a day as if they were simply comparable???…..so without the weed I slept an awful average of 4 hours a night, wrecked and sore in the morning….with weed, NINE HOURS!!! of blissful sleep easy….I'll never forget those days, I live in a country under the shadow of prohibition and so exercising choice in terms of quality, potency and strain is super difficult, but I would be willing to bet my life that the judicious cultivation, popularisation and use of the plant would render 90% or so of the medicaments in the average pharmacy completely null and void,,,,,been on a "healing journey" since 1995 and can attest, from experience, that by comparison to almost everything, weed (in the appropriate form) absolutely reigns as Queen. Love your work on fasting Peter, Thank you man, keep it up!
I have had THC oil every night for past two years. One capsule an hour before sleep is perfect for full nights sleep. There is no dependance or dose escalation. Its a very healthy and effective remedy. I haven't tried CBD. I suspect it is nowhere near as effective as THC/Full extract Cannabis Oil.
If anyone ever gets to study this….Something to look at is the medical strains are not the same. The push for highest thc has a lot of those in the medical industry starting to believe chs and other issues are from the high thc push by the rec industry. Older landrace strains had higher cbd/cbg/thc ratios, as compared to modern cultivars (back in the 90’s ppl could smoke themselves sober, which you never hear about anymore, cbd counters the high and Rec industry has bred cbd out so it’s more intoxicating ). Most patients will tell you the older strains have more medicinal value, so to study this I think the missing link is using the actual plant claimed to be effective, not a lab made synthetic like Marinol that has none of the minor cannabinoids or terpenes.
This needs more study. Many are using this for sleep.

Peace and Love from Japan 🇯🇵
I'm really sure you can help yourself to be healthier. I already did that thanks to Weedborn.
Im 14 days clean from THC/CBD and im having a horrible insomnia rebound effect. Anyone else experienced this?

Weedborn's CBD products are amazing!
I will use Weedborn CBD products this time 🙂
I took an edible to help me get to sleep. It worked…the only issue was that I woke up 5 hours later on the moon.

I love how Peter wraps this up with "yeah, but it totally works and here's some personal stories that show its efficacy" :))
Would love to have you speak with Dr Miyabe Shields or Drs Jessica or Rachel knox

I'm experimenting with my dosage levels of CBD.

Eat it. You’ll sleep longer and deeper. And its quality is profound.
Wish he talked about timing of THC – when is it safe to take it in order to not affect REM sleep?
