Sleep Rebound

People with chronic cluster headaches received three psilocybin doses over three weeks and improved their sleep scores by an average of 2.5 points. Better sleep was linked to changes in brain structure, suggesting the improvements went beyond headache relief alone. The findings hint that psilocybin's benefits may extend into sleep quality, recovery, and overall brain health.
