How marijuana and alcohol affect my sleep
A few nights ago, I used marijuana for the first time after abstaining for several months. The following morning, I noticed that my overnight resting heart rate (RHR), as measured by my Oura ring, was ~8 BPM lower than the previous few nights, and my heart rate variability (HRV) was also ~10 ms higher than typical for me. Did using marijuana actually positively impact my sleep? I dig into my data in this post.

My experience taking naltrexone, an opioid antagonist
Before my dissociative symptoms intensified around 2019, I was actively engaged in life as a prolific student and researcher. But once my dissociative symptoms started flaring up in my adult life, I became dysfunctional and struggled to understand or engage in the external world. It’s taken me long time to mostly get back on my feet where I am today, but I can now definitely say that, along with therapy, naltrexone has enabled me to properly engage with and advance in life again.
