Cannabinoids Experiment Results

This morning was the last day of a 42 day experiment with sleep and cannabinoids. My hypothesis was that low dose cannabinoids taken orally before bed would increase my sleep quality. The sleep quality metric was being measured using my Mi Band 3. Here are the results;

From the graph above it’s evident that the experiment was a success but I will do more thorough analysis when I have some free cycles. In the meantime, here is the raw data;
