Are there any candidates for the ozempic of sleep? Eg a drug you take chronically that simply makes falling asleep and staying asleep easy, for ppl who struggle with it?

@eshear I actually used cannabis throughout the day for awhile that helped me be tired by the end of the day and fall asleep with no problem. Once I trained myself to do it, I almost always fall asleep really quickly and sleep much better.

To be super clear I sleep great and have no need for any kind of sleeping treatment, this is an intellectual curiosity about how we have at least partially "solved" being hunger w Ozempic.

This is the core thing I'm asking about -- all drugs that "knock you out" aka make you fall sleep are currently shit, in the same way that all drugs that made you not-hungry used to suck. https://t.co/N0K7dX9jF8

@eshear The drugs which knock you out are all nasty and result in poor quality sleep with side effects. It's better to push things back from the other end. The ozempic of being awake is caffeine.
