Using weed to fall asleep sounds as bad as people relaying on caffeine tabs to stay awake.
Have you tried the US military guide to fall asleep?
It's a few steps and it helped me a lot
A link
Trying this just keeps me up even more because now I'm focusing on falling asleep which means I can't sleep
Ooh, thanks for the link. I'd forgotten about it.
Problem is that something like this doesn't really hold water against sleeping disorders. Using weed to fall asleep is literally a treatment option often prescribed to people who have sleep problems. I don't think caffeine tabs are something a doctor would consider if you were having troubles staying awake.
