Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series

Yeah, the cheapest CBD I could find on Google was ~$30/g (pre- tax, shipping, etc). Good luck convincing people to spend $600/mo on their sleep!

(I can already hear the HNers coming out of the woodwork to attest to their willingness to do so, how sleep is 1/3rd of your life and so if you're spending < 1/3rd of your income on it you're actually getting a great deal, and how it would actually save them tons of money to sleep a bit better and with a little less anxiety...yada yada..

but the vast majority of people can't do that)

Ha, your parenthetical definitely anticipated me.

If I could RELIABLY score a solid 8 hours every single night, I would call $600/mo steep — but worth it.

Also says something about the general cross section of HN users that $600/mo is "steep but worth it". There a lot of people for whom $600/mo is wildly unaffordable for anything, even essential medical care.

(FWIW, I'm with you, if I could wake up well rested every morning, I'd drop $1K/mo or more without a second thought)

When you're taking 600mg of CBD it's likely there's at least a handful of mg of THC 'contamination'; enough to be an active dose. Part of the reason it's expensive is separating the two effectively.

I bet you people would use it if it was their last resort to getting a good rest.

No doubt. Insomnia is merciless. It's just that, for a lot of people, this approach will be out of their reach. Not that that means we shouldn't try to make it affordable, of course.
