I don't know about marijuana withdrawals but when I'm having a tough time going to sleep I try listening to those guided meditation videos on YouTube.
I learned about meditation fairly Young so I've got a bit more practice than some people, but most of the ones that are like an hour long or so are enough to send me off to lala land
Appreciate the comment - all good on the lack of experience with cannabis withdrawls, intent was really just folks talking about sleep habits in general and early morning routines.
It's a good tip. I have some meditation experience under my belt as well, and it's usually provides some useful tricks for inducing sleep. Funny, actually - as a young teen I was dating someone who meditated (their Mom was Indian, so coached in a particular outlook) and had trouble sleeping. Described what I did as sort of like meditation, and she asked "But how can you fall asleep". I said "You know when you're feeling relaxed and your mind starts to drift? Change your focus to that relaxed feeling, and feel it getting deeper." Worked like a charm.
Nowadays, I use a looped bathtub filling sound and just focus on the sound of the water. Usually works unless there's some kind of biochemical nonsense afoot :)
Appreciate it!
