Keeps me awake for up to 5+ hrs just like other THC products (didn't help my chronic insomnia)

When I take it at a psychoactive dose, (0.2-0.5mL) it is just like any other THC product I've had before where it makes me very stimulated and keeps me awake for another 5+ hours even if I was starting to get tired before taking. On most occasions I have also taken 30-40mg of CBD in oil at the same time as this product to help with sleep and anxiety but haven't noticed any difference so far as when I've taken without the CBD. So far I'm undecided if THC or CBD products are suitible for the severity of my insomnia related to complex PTSD. I like using this oil with the included measured syringe as it's very easy to accuratley dose. Unfortunatley I seem to have nights where it can hit me in 1.5-2hrs and other nights where it can take 5 or more hours before it finally hits me and then I'm awake for many hours. I think oil may not be the best delivery method since I have chronic gut issues so that's quite likley why sometimes it's taken so long for the effects to kick in. The main pros I can see from this and for that matter any THC product is that while it keeps me awake and stoned and does make me more anxious, I become very aware of all the muscle pain and tightness in my back and the rest of my body which I do need to strech and release as my muscles are very tight. So the potential pros are that it seems to be a useful tool for pushing me to stretch all the sore and tight muscles especially related to chronic back pain. So although THC is not like any regular sleep medication for me it maybe useful to help me to sleep better in the long run due to it making me realise all the muscle pain and tension I have stored up in my back and rest of my body and pushing me to stretch to releave it. Having not been in an exercise & streching routine for a while it might be a good thing that is useful for helping to promote a regular streching and exercise routine. I just wish I'd been told by a doctor that I may need to take this 10+ hours before attemping to sleep and would have been nice if someone had reccomened that it's probably better suited to take this before say for example an exercise or a walk followed by a streching routine. Otherwise if taken as directed by my doctor (which is 2hrs before bed) I just cannot lie still or sleep once the psychoactive effects kick in. I toss and turn for hours and end up streching as I can feel every muscle pain. As for the PTSD and anxiety I think think I should have been advised to take this and any other THC product in the day for it's psychoactive and potientially positive stimulating effects as it doesn't send me to sleep. I will contiue to experiment with doses below the psychoactive range to see if it may aid slightly with sleep. So far it seems that 0.1mL is just below the psychoactive range for me and 0.2mL is already psychoactive and stimulating & causing more anxiety than I usually have.
