I think we’d all agree that anytime our regular sleep routine gets disrupted, it’s not a good thing. So why does the government continue with this twice per year time change? I’ll tell you right now, I don’t know. What I do know that there are ways that cannabis might help minimize that disruption.
“Falling back” or turning the clock back one hour generally isn’t the major problem, “springing forward’ is. When we lose that hour in the morning, especially the first few days, it can be torturous for school age kids and the parents that need to get them up and motivated.
Cannabis and sleep have gone hand in hand for centuries. It was one of its primary medicinal uses. When cannabis flower (bud) is heated and inhaled the effects can be very relaxing and calming. Flower is “full spectrum” which gives the body and head a feeling of mild euphoria.
Most people don’t want to smoke. Most prefer the gummies. Dosing is very important with THC. Many cannabis doctors recommend THC for sleep. One 5 milligram edible is a common recommendation.
For some people, however, THC will elevate their mood. THC might not be the answer for them. It’s important to know that too much THC can have negative side effects like dizziness, and hallucinations. Start low and go slow. You can always have more later, after you see how it affects you.
WHAT’S NEW for sleep is CBN, or Cannabinol. CBN doesn’t have the side effects like the THC, only deep restorative sleep. It’s usually combined with some CBD. A 1 part CBD and 1 part CBN ratio is great. A 2-1 is good. Check the label for actual ingredients and strength.
