Little do you know that there's a hidden, 3rd option I take every night: just don't fix your sleep schedule
Or maybe option 4?
Taking a bunch of edibles to make you sleepy at the right time
At this point, I'm open to all suggestions.
Going to throw in my edible suggestion because it is the only thing that's ever worked for me personally: Mr. Moxey's mints. They make a high CBD one with valerian root. I try to take them an hour or so before bed. Just CBD or just sleepy tea has never worked for me but the combo seems to do the trick.
Edibles are overpriced and underdosed; instead you should buy pure hash oil from an indica strain (or RSO, or distillate, or whatever concentrate is available in your area) and make your own edibles. It's way cheaper and you get a much stronger and more effective product.
Where I live, the average edible product is $15-20 and contains 100mg total of active THC (I looked up those mints and they also contain 100mg total in the entire package). Or could just buy a hash oil syringe for the same price and get 1000mg. Literally 10x the amount for the same price. So if a pack of mints lasts you a week, imagine having a 2½ month's supply without spending 10x as much. Eventually you'll get used to just directly consuming the oil, saving you even more time and money since you don't actually have to make it into an edible to achieve the desired effects.
What I should do is what works well for me. I know about and have used oil but I prefer the mints for various reasons. I'm glad you have something that works well for you
I got CBD oil the other week. Shit's been great so far. Makew going to bed at the right time feel so natural
I thought about this as well, but don't know anything about CBD, which product or concentration do you use?
Natural Hemp Life 5% and 10% oils. They're hemp oils with CBD in them. Both work fine for me. I might even prefer the 5% one. It makes me feel like going to bed would be nice.
If you have trouble falling asleep I can also recommend GABA-supplements Thorne PhramaGABA-250 has been great for me. Bit more dicey though, perhaps. Somehow relates to the same things alcohol does.
Let me know your experience if you try CBD!
