How marijuana and alcohol affect my sleep

A few nights ago, I used marijuana for the first time after abstaining for several months. The following morning, I noticed that my overnight resting heart rate (RHR), as measured by my Oura ring, was ~8 BPM lower than the previous few nights, and my heart rate variability (HRV) was also ~10 ms higher than typical for me. Did using marijuana actually positively impact my sleep? I dig into my data in this post.
