Psychedelics as a sleep aid? You must have a very quiet mind. I can't sleep after a single bowl of weed.
As for the weed - you just need a strain adequate to what you want of it. If you want a sleep aid look for a CBD-rich and THC-low Indica strain (or just a CBD-only strain - these even are legal in many countries where normal weed isn't). There is a huge selection of weed strains that feel very different. There are strains good for work (energy and concentration), for creativity and thinking, for having fun, for sleeping and for other kinds of activities. I'm sure there is a strain that will shoot you dead-asleep instantly.
