Sleep and THC

Are there any good studies on the impact of THC on sleep and insomnia? Can you share a link to any such studies?

Pick your poison?

Some of us aren’t as disciplined as Peter when it comes to things like enjoying occasional alcoholic beverages or having some ice cream or a little chocolate in the evening. Some might even argue there’s a hard to measure benefit in terms of joy in these things. That being said, if forced to choose between having one or two alcoholic beverages twice a week or having a medium serving of ice cream or chocolate twice a week, which is the healthier, smarter option? Part 2: Assuming little research has been done on the topic, what can Peter surmise about the emotional, psychological “joy” benefits associated with a favorite beer, whiskey or ice cream from a local creamery? Thank you

SARMS vs Testosterone

I'm 57 with T @ 426.5 ng/dL, Free T @ 6 ng/dL, SHGB @ 33 nmol/L, and Testosterone:Cortisol Ratio of about 27 (indicating over-training). Given that Testosterone is essential for recovery but is difficult to get prescribed in Canada, what is your opinion on using SARMS such as Ostarine & Cardarine to help with building/maintaining mass and recovery. PS - my workouts focus on the Olympic and Power Lifts with Squat PR (for 2022) @150kg, DL @ 180kg with bodyweight fluctuating between 82kg (not stacked) and 88kg (stacked). I also added some zone2 training on the bike to try and widen my aerobic capacity because my HR likes to run high
