Cannabis and Sleep
Edibles can complicate the regulation of cannabis intake, leading to unintended mental states. While they may aid in falling asleep, they significantly reduce REM sleep, which is crucial for emotional processing and learning. Heavy users might experience intense dreams upon cessation due to REM rebound. Moderation and awareness of personal limits are essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with cannabis.In this clip

How do cannabis edibles affect health, as discussed in the episode The Keys to Healthy Living — with Andrew Huberman and the clip Cannabis and Sleep?
Has there been any research about how long before sleep to stop using cannabis? I've listened to multiple Huberman Lab episodes about cannabis and sleep, and it's clear that cannabis affects sleep architecture, but it is not clear how much time cannabis should be abstained from before sleeping. As an experienced user, I know that a high from smoking will last 2-3 hours and from edibles will last 4-5 hours. If I've sobered up before going to sleep, would my sleep architecture still be negatively affected?
