I am a top % light sleeper - hard to sleep, inconsistent, never could sleep outside of basically ideal conditions.
Was prescribed Tirzepatide (similar to Semaglutide) and it fixed my sleep like nothing else has - I actually feel tired at a normal hour and doze off, two thing I never really did before. At the lowest dose you won't lose weight beyond the first few months, and you can maintain weight with small effort even still. So even if you are completely healthy weight, it could be useful.
I wouldn't normally think recommending a totally unrelated drug for sleep issues would be sane, but it also happens to have a ton of other positive effects for me at least. And the safety profile seems solid, esp compared to other sleep drugs. Plus not psychoactive and actually reduces your addictive behaviors especially in terms of nicotine/THC. Certainly a lot better side effect profile than THC (imo, from research).
I appreciate this greatly. After reading a lot of these comments I think I’m smart enough to realize it’s time to get help. I’ll speak with them about this idea and others.
A lot of "help" in this space are things like z-drugs, benzos, antihistamines like hydroxyzine, low doses of atypical antipsychotics like Seroquel, and antidepressants like Trazodone and mirtazapine.
IMO, THC can be the lesser of two evils in comparison.
