As a pothead for decades recently cut down to just special occasions now. I can assure you that smoking a zoot before bed is not giving you a good sleep.

Can’t comment on the coffee as I don’t drink it.

Routine is the key. Same bed time and wake time every day. Never was a morning person now i wake up fresh before my alarm even goes off.

Oh boy when I do smoke a zoot now I suffer the next day.

    Yeah, my bedtimes aren't exactly the same, I work meetings at night that end whenever they feel like it sometimes, but a routine in bed is important. Brush teeth, read til eyes are heavy, go to sleep. I'm addicted to reading in bed now. I'm 92% of the way through The Passenger and I have no book lined up for after and I actually get anxiety because I think my sleep will be affected if I don't have something.

    I slept poorly for a long time, and that's improved a bunch. And with it, better at work, better at parenting, better at exercising.

    Did you try getting high early and going to bed almost sober?

    I have not tried that but I do have some anecdotal data from this week.

    Been running and doing mainly easy runs to increase duration.

    Not smoked all week and been great. Had about 1g of bud last night and OMG I could not wake up this morning. I normally wake up 07:45 when working from home and log on at 08:00, but I can start anytime I want really. So today I ended snoozing alarm until 08:55. Frankly it’s a 3 hour day on Fridays.

    Then I was super groggy all morning and just fatigued, even after 8 hours sleep which the garmin said was not ideal and interrupted. Did not want to go for a run today but sucked it up and man it ruined me. HR kept spiking and had to keep walking to keep it low in zone 2/3. Whereas last run on Wednesday was just easy and no walking for 35 mins.

    Maybe next time I’ll try smoking earlier and letting it leave my system before bed cause I can’t go through that again and it’s crazy that I went decades with this brain fog.

    Do you have a time limit to stop before bed? Sorry for wall of text this is very interesting for me and now I’m unloading on you.

    You sound like me, work situation and all. So how long before bed: I start as early as possible when works done and so on and consume maybe half g in my volcano over the evening (this is more effective than smoking 0.5g).

    Theres no real time limit but really feeling high l, cannot drive now, not following the plot in the movie is too high in general and too high for bed.

    If you lie in bed and see more flashes than usual, is too high also.

    What I want is the afterglow of being high and then going to bed. That's 2-3h past the peak. You could literally stay up longer and wait and then go to bed and get better sleep.

    When I cannot get out of bed in the morning I do breathing exercises for 15min and my mood changes so I am able to get up and drink coffee. Google ujjayi pranayama

    Thanks dude. I’ll definitely take this into account especially the breathing exercises as on my two office days I have to get up at 06:00 and some days I just can’t even face it and end up working from home. Thankfully my boss is a real one and we get so much freedom, but still I feel bad if I don’t do what I agree and that’s 2 days in the office and 2.5 days at home.

    I’ll google that person too. Thanks man. Have a great day, wherever you are.

    Edit: So I realise now it’s not a dude it’s a breathing technique. 😂
