   @Murray_N Sounds more like me. I wake several times and often go back sleep, but sometimes I just don't. @EvolLove @walkman

     @EvolLove @Murray_N @walkman Just a question. Are your (plural) problems hard to go to sleep? Or disrupted sleep? Myself I hardly ever have the first, but the second type.

     Damn, that’s hardcore compared to my little 240mg capsule.
     Did you build a tolerance over time?

     @Murray_N @walkman

     Had 30 years of insomnia. It was literally hell.

     I fixed it in 3 years and it stayed fixed.

     I stopped eating sugar. zero sugar in food, no sweat drinks no candy. And I didn't replace it with some sugar free stuff.

     It took 3 days and then I started to sleep really good.

     After 2 years I started to eat some sugar again. Still do but I am a little bit mindful about it. That is all.

     I am plagued by this lack of sleep; have off nights but more good nights. Here's what works for the most part for me.
     
     1 - Drink 2-3 glasses of water 2 hrs before bed or 1 electrolyte drink
     2 - Take 2000mg Magnesium 90 mins before bed
     3 - Take (3) https://www.shopflavcity.com/products/lights-out-sleep-support-gummy 1 hour before bed
     4 - Piss & Zzzzzz
     
     Sometimes, I'll alternate with a 4mg of Tizinidine & (2) 1000mg Magnesium & water regiment

     So after years of interrupted sleep, getting up to pee and being awake for hours before getting back to sleep, using Rick Simpson Oil or gummies to stay asleep, my wife finds a tip:
     Take magnesium before bed.
     A 240mg magnesium glycinate capsule before bed actually works.
     I used to get up to pee on RSO and had to steady myself or fall over.
     The magnesium actually had a similar effect in the middle of the night.
     Back in bed and back to sleep.
     Even a little groggy in the morning.
     Whooda thunk?

     All the above for me. If I lay in bed for more than 30 mins staring at ceiling? I get up and do something---walk around house; outside something. and try again 45 mins later. Drives wife nuts but thats the world I live in.

     @inscius @Murray_N @walkman

     Mine was hard to fall asleep. Even after training at the gym and working constructions. In the end I slept 1-2 hours per night in the week.

     All of those problems are gone now. Been sleeping good for 12 straight years now.

     I sometimes fall asleep before ten in the evening and I sometimes wake up half past four in the morning. Well rested and in the mood for my first cup of coffee.

     Think thats what those sleeping gummies do for me; keeps me asleep until a cramp takes place.

     @EvolLove Yes there was a popular shortlived company here for that. Can still buy "industrial hemp" products from Grästorp 😁 @walkman @Murray_N

     @walkman @Murray_N @inscius

     Before it became illegal I used to make CBD oil. I would say that most bought them for better sleep. And they were satisfied. Bought new ever month.

     @inscius @walkman @Murray_N

     Yes it was something of a boom for a while. I was in contact with many who grew and made oil.

     All of them were untrained and unknowing and based their belief of how to do it from folklore from the 60s

     Total confusion from old hippies ideas. Basically they used one of the following solvents, oil, water, alcohol. The closest one to make something goof was 98% alcohol. But that had to be frozen buds. And maximum 10 seconds process.

     I quickly went ahead to Propane:)
