Terrible advice. Sleeping pills are much more addictive than cannabis and you should only take them if your doctor advised you to.
I'm not saying OPs behaviour is healthy.
Weed is also terrible for a sleep aid since it suppresses REM.
Is that true? I use it most evenings and still have vivid dreams every night.
From a quick Google search it looks like it depends on the strain and dosage. Also doesn't look to be super well studied. On an anectodal level, I tend to have more vivid dreams on a higher THC strain and a deeper sleep on a higher CBD strain but here's part of an article on the subject:

That depends very much on which sleep aid you're taking. I also didn't say anything about taking it every damn day.
