Another one of these "eggs are good"/"eggs are bad" flip flops that happens every few years. Before this the "science" was that too much vitamin D disrupts sleep. In fact it seems to have disrupted mine. It's 4AM, and I can't sleep even after taking a MJ brownie. I take 2000IUs daily and my values are "normal" now. And yet I've been suffering from insomnia shortly after I started taking this supplement. Who do I believe now, my own body or someone at the NIH?

Or it could be that, as with many things concerning the human body, the reality is more complicated than a simple yes/no question.
I think I've read that THC usage can affect long term sleep quality...
Maybe, but I only take it when it's particularly bad, and only started recently, so I'm pretty sure it's not THC. If it's between Ambien (benzodiazepine, impossible to get off of) and a non-addictive alternative, I pick the latter. Besides, I'm pretty sure there will be another study in 2-3 years stating the exact opposite.
take them early in the morning, not at evening or night, try drinking milk as well.
