No sleep or sleep meds

I used to take Ambien for about 20 years but was concerned about side-effects and my age, 69. My doctor does not want me to take it on regular basis. I have been using THC gummies with CBD and they are helping. I have sleep anxiety and chronic insomnia. I live in IL, so can buy recreation at dispensary. I take 5 mg THC which is considered low dose. I cut the gummies in half. I do not get high but feel drowsy and relaxed. I am sleeping much better and do not feel hung over in AM. Best of luck, insomnia sucks!

Good suggestion, but I happen to be one of the ~20% of people that THC causes anxiety. Weird right?
I took it and my Apple Watch alerted me that my heart rate had been over 100 for over 10 minutes. My heart rate is usually in the 60s, and sometimes 50s. I have some Delta 8 gummies I bought to try and same, anxiety. CBD does nothing.
