I had very little success with CBD or CBD:THC for sleep issues... I did however, find out I had low iron/borderline anemia (for years....apparently) and, with iron supplementation, things with sleep have slowly improved.
Apparently cyclists/endurance folks sweat out iron. Who knew? 🤦*♂️ |

Is there any source I can trust for quality in these things? My wife desperately needs to sleep but is rightly skeptical of unregulated supplements.

My only data point are my friends who started with CBD. They would watch Goose at Red Rocks whilst petting their dog's fur into oblivion. Next they tried THC and graduated to snorting oxycodone.

I live where THC is legal. I used to take ambien since when I would work out late I would be so wound up I could not sleep. Got to be a daily habit. Switched to at first a strong CBD and THC gummy and weened my way down to a very mild one.
What really messes with my sleep is alcohol. Now I limit myself to two craft beers and weekend only. I do have a beer and a NA after and will repeat that once. Monitoring my sleep I sleep more deep sleep and have better overall sleep when I don’t have any alcohol or very little alcohol.

Ah, the joys of aging. ETA: I've read a couple of articles in the past year or so which have offered evidence (studies?) that while alcohol may help you GO to sleep, there's a sort of rebound effect which makes you less likely to STAY asleep. Your sleep is likely to be less restful and prone to waking up. I'm not now, and never have been, in the medical field, but this also aligns with my personal experience.

THC is legal where I live and I have started to drink the occasional THC seltzer. Like others, alcohol consumption really causes me to have a pretty terrible night sleep, so I picked up some THC seltzers to see what they were like.
The first time I tried them I didn't realize they had different strengths and I mistakenly dove right into the deep end with two 10mg THC Seltzers (10mg is the max allowed here). I had the best night of sleep I have had in years, but thought I was going to have to crawl up the stairs to get to my bed. They definitely help with sleep, but the 10mg variety does leave me feeling a little groggy/sluggish the next day. |

Full spectrum does help with sleep but it has THC in it so if that is a problem take note.

If THC is legal where you live, my recent go-to is from Copper State. I take one before bedtime, so CBN is more important to me than THC.

Any of you guys that use THC laced gummies experience any signs of dependency? Like if you don't take one are you unable to sleep at all with that help?

A good way to ruin your recovery is to drink in the evening. Works every time. |

Floyd's full-spectrum helped me go to sleep but not stay asleep (a la melatonin). I now have a puppy. After a full day of dealing with puppyhood, I sleep like I did in my 20s!
