try smoking some indica strain of marijuana , safest drug around for insomnia

I had sleep problems for a while. One night rather than take a fifth Stalevo I took 1 Zopiclone. I was groggy the next day. My wife said I was completely spaced out. That's my only experience of it. If I took it again my she would probably refuse to get in the car with me.Another option is paracetemol though it isn't actually a sleeping drug.

I take Ambien every-night before bed and sleep like a baby.

I take cannabis tincture that is high in CBD - the strain is called Cannatonic.

Hello Trixiedee

That's interesting. May I ask where you get it from and how much does it cost. How much sleep does it give you?

Regards

Hi John. I take one Calmag tablet before going to be. It does help sleep, but is not a sleeping pill It is a combination of Calcium and Magnesium, which do get out of the stomach and into the bloodstream.
