I haven't smoked pot in over 20 years but when I did it always put me right to sleep and I never went into withdrawals from quitting pot like i've heard people say they have from quitting benzos.   Given the choice, if pot makes you sleep it seems like the better choice.\

The lack of sleep is a huge issue with withdrawal and without sleep EVERYTHING seems worse, I know a few people that did say weed helped them with sleep. I dont see why it would be any worse than a valuim or a xanax if it works for you.
Good luck

All my experiences with OTC and pain meds cause them to give me the opposite effect. Especially during with draws. Its always worth a shot tho.

Try Melatonin.. It is natural.. It is the chemical in the body that is released when it is time to sleep.. Get into a dark room after taking it.. it take mine with a amino acid that is relaxing like L-theanine.. This seems to work for me better than Lunesta did.
If I were the poster I would not start smoking weed just for sleep purposes.. That just seems silly.

Actually it does help some not necessarily with sleeping though ambien will help with that if you can get to any.

hmm.. well, i'm sure this won't be a popular answer, but i don't see any difference between taking a few hits of pot and taking a benzo to help the w/d-sleep.

i don't smoke, but i do know some people who do occasionally just for that reason...
