Summary
Fox 53461 described major sleeping problems lasting 50 years; only Ambien worked, but they became reliant on it, which became an issue. Seven years before the March 2024 comment they tried one small hit of cannabis before bed, despite disliking the high feeling, and had fallen asleep easily and rapidly ever since.
