My anxiety now is that using THC to sleep will cause issues long term. But without it I literally cannot get to sleep anymore. Edit: I regret pulling focus off parent comment and OP, but also deeply appreciate everyone’s comments.
Tapering off very slowly (over weeks or months) will probably work better than cold turkey.

Are you claiming that 2-3h of sleep is enough or healthy?
Why don't you try it and see? Some of my best sleeps were after a sleepless night and for only like 1-3 hours, caffeine or other stimulants in the blood be damned Edit: also make sure you have bright blue light during wakeup/morning/day and mellow non-overhead orangey/amber/yellow light (nothing east of yellow) at evening/night. Red 2 hours before bedtime for bonus "points"
Given work deadlines I have a lot of experience with full all-nighters and 1-3 hour nights.
Having suffered from severe depression for over forty years, this reminds me of when I was 17, 18, etc. and suddenly discovered that if I stayed up for two days, the problem went away. So I knew this a very long time ago; but it always seemed to me that, besides smoking, this was just about one of the worst habits you could develop. By my mid-twenties, I had stopped.
After 10 years on them, the next 6 months were absolute hell (i legit thought at one point I might go full Joaquin Phoenix in Joker) but I made it through, no small part thanks to my wonderful amazing wife.
Rebound depression have been an issue - though in general I feel like I am much better off without the antidepressants now than with them - and I've also noticed that pulling an all nighter would actually fix the rebounds for a bit. A small dose of melatonin before bed worked wonders for me now. I sleep better and the rebounds are extremely rare.

Is your normal state depressed though? I don’t think it works for “normal” people.
The study was done on mice. Are there depressed mouse that are used in such experiments or is this just an opinion on why zdragnar might not feel these effects? This is a genuine question.
The article "One Sleepless Night Can Rapidly Reverse Depression for Several Days" is a fascinating and promising piece of research. The findings suggest that sleep loss could be a potential treatment for depression, which is a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. I am particularly interested in the implications of this research for many people. I believe that this research could lead to n…

My brother basically needs THC to sleep. Or strenuous physical activity all day.
The lack of strenuous physical activity all day is a real problem with modern life. We did not evolve to be sedentary.

> Chronic sleep loss is well studied, and it’s uniformly detrimental effects are widely documented,” Kozorovitskiy said. I believe he didn't say "it's", he probably said "its".
sort of interesting how your/you're, its/it's, shrimps/softwares and others sort of unconsciously makes what you're reading less authoritative in a 4th wall way.

Being unable to sleep is a common withdrawal symptom for cannabis use disorder. Congratulations, you are habituated, and long-term problems are likely accumulating as you are losing out on REM sleep and probably developing emotional and physical conditions related to cannabis use. Good luck!
