“And as well avoiding cannabis use and maybe even CBD use within 8 to 12 hours of sleep can be very beneficial if your goal is to improve the quality of your sleep. Now, I know a lot of people rely on alcohol, cannabis and CBD in order to get into sleep. However, it's been shown many times in human studies, and this was discussed in the podcast episode that we did with the great Matt Walker, who's a professor of neuroscience and psychology at University of California, Berkeley, and a world expert in sleep and sleep science. Matt and I discussed the research showing that even though alcohol helps you fall asleep, even though cannabis can help you fall asleep, and even though CBD can help people fall asleep, that it does disrupt and in many ways reduce the quality of sleep that one gets.”

“THC CBD AKA cannabis and with respect to alcohol it's clear that none is best if you're going to have some uh you don't want to drink too early in the day but you don't want to drink too much or too close to bedtime because it can disrupt rapid eye movement sleep food uh seems that creating some sort of buffer between the uh your last bite of food and uh your to bedtime by anyway somewhere between you know maybe 2 three hours but for some people it'll be more like 90 minutes and of course that's going to depend on the size of the meal Etc but eating a big meal and then going straight to bed probably not a good idea caffeine has this long halflife so if you're going to indulge which I do do so early in the day beware the afternoon caffeine yeah do the hubman tapa is what I'm going to call it right now which is not interpretive dense it's simply the caffeine tape and then um THC CBD uh does nothing good for your sleep architecture although some people have the uh impression that it is good for their sleep because it makes it easier for them to fall asleep but what they are unaware of is that it is disrupting the quality and architecture of the different stages of sleep in ways that are not serving people well that seems to be the case for THC”
