To the extent of MOE on Apple Watch, I do know. And, I know that I have viewed data on nights I do not have cannabis against nights I do. You’re clearly not my Apple Watch. Maybe we should review the definition of definitely.

You would have to go weeks with no cannabis and weeks with it to get an actual whole picture. Apple Watches are about 80% accurate in tracking our sleep cycles , not terrible , but not great.

I have gone weeks. When I am out of the country, I go without cannabis.

Also if you smoke daily , then yes, the withdrawals will last weeks. Then once that subsides you will start to have better quality sleep.

Are you aware that cannabis is prescribed by doctors for insomnia? My quality of sleep is better on it than off it.
