Yeah, I suffer with PTSD as well as chronic pain and fatigue and other issues, so good sleep has not been on my cards for a long while - I have trouble getting to sleep and don't sleep well when I do. Weed helps ease some of that which in itself makes sleep a little more attainable, as well as helping me get to sleep (and eat, and not sink too far in to dark places).
I'll take that trade off..
Exactly, and you shouldn't feel bad about it. In my opinion, it's a balancing act to achieve a better QoL. Ibuprofen has certain risks, but I damn well take one when I have a migraine!
Exactly.. And I don't feel bad but many others do and definitely shouldn't. Though I can't lie, headlines like these are frustrating, because I'm probably never going to have good sleep. Constantly learning about all the damage and extra risk lack of/bad sleep (or stress! ๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ) brings for so many other illnesses becomes old fast..
I know what you mean, but sometimes you got to do the best you can for now. It's better than the alternative, right? And maybe a better alternative will come along.
