What is a good sleep aid?

My roommate loves to sleep, so she will sleep for 10 hours a night whenever she can, and on weekends she will also take naps. This is so wild to me, because I sleep for as little as possible. I stay up late, and then still wake up early unless I have taken some melatonin the night before. I can’t complain, because this gives me a lot of free time for writing and recording our radio show. It isn’t just that I don’t sleep particularly much, the point is that I dislike sleeping, and do whatever I can to avoid it most of the time. When I do rest up, it is preceded by smoking a lot of cannabis and sort of drifting away into the haze. Any marijuana smoker will tell you that pot has a strong effect on your idle mind, and a paushing effect on your dreams. If you are like myself and others and have clear dreams that wake you up throughout the night, I would advocate trying some cannabis to see what happens. Smoking cannabis right before bed has become a ritual for me, because of that calming effect on our persistent nightmares. Basically, if I ever want to have a good night’s rest, I need to smoke cannabis beforehand or it won’t work. Benadryl, melatonin, any sort of sleeping aid, nothing works for myself and others except for cannabis. I also like getting blazed, of course, however our usage of cannabis is for medicinal reasons, for our mental health. I wish I could get a script for medical cannabis, but that hasn’t happened yet.
