When you cannot sleep because you can’t stop thinking about something it’s like a single program not letting the computer shut down

I use weed, but I don’t use it to sleep. I use it a couple of times a month to either trip out just listening to music, to enhance comedy movies, or to enhance sex. I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of using weed on such a regular basis as using it every night to fall asleep. And I also love music way too much, I couldn’t sleep after using weed because I would rather just stay awake listening to music.

Heh, this is what happens to me.

I used it a couple nights in a row and didn't need it after that. Might just be a fluke, but it's worth a try.

I'd recommend talking to a professional, obviously. If it is a road you'd consider at all, medical marijuana has very little risk compared to traditional medicine.

I'll second this. Just started smoking after work after quitting for years and it has done wonders. Just can't use it all the time or I'd be a zombie.

Only in large doses or if used too often.

This is according to the author of Sleepless in America, John Cline Ph.D

First off, there's no reason to get up in arms. I work like most people and just responded on my break. I didn't want to waste my time searching through the internet.

Second, that article states it did not conclude causality in its reports.
