Very simply, how long before bed do vape or smoke up?

I’d been successfully treating my insomnia with flower for 2 years but recently when I’ve used it I either haven’t been able to get to sleep or stay asleep for more than a few hours. Normally I’d vape an hour or 45 mins before bed and that would knock me out. Now I find that my mind starts racing around the hour mark.

Mainly wondering how many people use it and then hop straight into bed.

I’ve tried swapping strains, tolerance breaks of a few weeks, and even zopiclone isn’t all that effective right now on the nights I don’t vape.

    Jazz cabagge in the long run fucks up your sleep, it’s not something you should use long term for insomnia.

      Yeah definitely not ideal. Was working with a sleep specialist/psychiatrist but he’s gone on extended personal leave, is the only specialist in my city, and I had adverse reactions to the medications he was trialling me on.

      Yeah, it makes it more difficult as your tolerance gets higher. Using a strain with high CBD / CBN as opposed to high THC will help tremendously.
