@Totalanimefan: thanks total! I tried some again last night and I think I slept well

@Glume: oh wow glad to hear it helped tho!

@Tuijp: hmmm you might have been surprised, do you think you might ever try some?

@sunny: I've read that a recent study found that 70% of the products failed the tests, and many had high chemicals and pesticides. So possibly you got a bad brand? Do you think you might try again later?

@Kozi: It is $$$ for serious. But if a few dollars for a good nights sleep makes me more productive during the day, I'll try it for now.

@SirLionelNigelConrad: from what I've read, the 2018 Farm Bill act passed by Congress in December 2018 legalize CBD federally. It declassified hemp with less than 0.3% THC from a Schedule 1 drug to a schedule 5 drug. Hence it is still a drug, and it's not regulated by the FDA, but it's legal in all 50 states and you can take it thru TSA.

@Laufeia: wow but I'm glad you feel its helping at least!

@Bioshock: that's what they claim! Pain, swelling, inflammation, anxiety, insomnia, skin and eczema etc, and others I can't recall. But be careful what you buy because many have high levels of chemicals and pesticides due to not being regulated by the FDA.

It's the latest craze if you're not counting recreational or medical marijuana. Anybody else using CBD. I've started taking some for sleep and anxiety. I've also been using for grandma for her shoulder pain ever since she fell and had a fracture. She claims it helps so I'm hopeful!

Clicky link Wikipedia 2018 Farm Bill Act

Anonymous:
McConnell included language allowing hemp production for research in the 2014 farm bill, and the farm bill conference report would lift federal drug restrictions that have hampered expansion of the crop. The 2018 legislation also would make hemp farmers eligible for federally subsidized crop insurance.

GOP Rep. James R. Comer, a former Kentucky agriculture commissioner and member of the farm bill conference committee, said the “reclassification of hemp from a controlled provision to a regular agriculture crop” is in the conference report.


Anonymous:
Perhaps the most striking element of the Farm Bill, however, is how it amends the Controlled Substances Act. Since 1970, hemp has been listed as a Schedule I controlled substance. But H.R. 2 would exempt commercial hemp from the Schedule I classification, so long as products meet one requirement. Hemp products must contain no more than 0.3 percent of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, aka THC, by dry weight.

Several key consequences stem from this change. First, it effectively lifts the prohibition on all the other cannabinoids that can be sourced from hemp, like CBDV, CBN, CBG. Research continues to demonstrate the immense therapeutic potential of such rare cannabinoids. Under the Farm Bill’s provisions, any part of the hemp plant, from its seeds to its extracts, acids, salts, and isomers are exempt from the Controlled Substances Act.

@Totalanimefan: oh she left already! But lol will do lol!
Posted in Bad sleep habits? Posted 5 years ago
@Laufeia: I totally do that 100 times snooze lol. I even have multiple alarns all snoozing simultaneously. Which ends up being like 2 minutes apart lol lol.

@Lithium: aaah that's pretty tough. I read your post earlier, I wouldn't know if or when your dreams might get better, but I hope that the nightmares will get replaced by better memories soon.

@Francisco: oh I'm that too, I know I shouldn't play on my phone but... 3 hrs later like omg. I sleep on my side recently which isn't bothering me much as such, but I know it's eventually gonna cause thoracic outlet syndrome and pinched nerves.

@Totalanimefan: I need 8hrs of sleep too but I never seem to get it. Which is why I'm eternally tired. Hopefully your life will go back to normal soon tho.

@Kiri: it's great you know your body so well, I do actually love sleep. For me, it's almost like a luxury, time for myself. Even if I get up I can still go back to bed. But I've heard people exist that don't like sleep! lol j/k.

@Totalanimefan: no no, my mom goes with us usually. It's only been 2 weeks since grandma got back home.

@Unicorn: oh at least you got some sleep! We can hear the fireworks in the distance, but it's barely popping sounds. Actually Hawaii is way more crazy during New Years cuz whole neighbors would be setting off fireworks right in the backyards. For 4th of July, it's generally just the official show.
Posted in Bad sleep habits? Posted 5 years ago
I love sleep but I have really bad sleep habits which is mostly my fault.

I'd come home about 10pm from workies, feel pooped and take a late nap on the sofa. Then I'll wake at midnight to check on grandma and tuck her in. Then shower and do housework till 2am, can't sleep till 330am, set my alarm till 7, hit snooze till 745am. And repeat.

I'm sure it's at least 6hrs in there but because it's disjointed, I'm always tired which means I need a nap and that messes up my sleep lol. Plus grandma sleeps late omg.

Anyone else have bad sleep habits to keep me company?

@Millet: wow I'm nevertheless inspired, that sounds like you really worked hard at it. I dropped 50lbs(?) from my peak but gained back 15. Mine wasn't motivation or any sort of determination tho, it was just simply because I changed careers. (Also I cut Starbucks Frappuccinos lol.) I was originally at a desk job but now I do massage full time. It's a slow paced physical non-intense activity that keeps me on my feet all day and I attribute to better health and more energy overall. Now I just have to work at my diet which is worse than terrible.
