Giving some gummies a whirl. Non-THC type. A little background:
-I struggle to fall asleep at night no matter the time unless I'm incredibly tired, which also doesn't happen to me at night
-I have high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate. Obviously those don't help the first and the first doesn't help them. I suspect I have some sort of anxiety. I've used Xanax to sleep in the past and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm also a very hot sleeper.
So took them last night. I don't know if this is coincidence or what but I took them, read for 45 minutes, my HR was lower than normal and I fell right to sleep.
Skip to this morning and I woke up pretty fresh in a lot better mood than normal. Usually I'm a little moody early on. Took two more again and so far I've felt a little more relaxed than normal and I feel a touch more focused. Of course, this could all be placebo but I haven't been someone to succumb to the placebo effect in the past so I think there may be something there.
