All of us struggle to sleep from time to time. I know that I can have some pretty restless nights when I take a nap or drink caffeine too late in the day. I also know that I will be tired the next day, but hopefully the next night will offer some more restful and heavier sleep. However, sometimes we go through stages in our life where sleeping becomes a real challenge entirely.

With all that is going on in our busy lives, some of us may not be able to shut our brains down when it is time to go to bed. Have you ever heard of chronic insomnia? It basically refers to the inability to sleep for hours on end, weeks at a time. Chronic insomnia is brought on by a lot of different factors, but it is frequently associated with certain medical conditions. Sometimes physical conditions and pain symptoms can cause insomnia, while other individuals face insomnia related to anxiety or PTSD.

Either way, not getting enough sleep night over night can cause some real damage to our physical and emotional wellbeing. And no, I do not think it is a good idea to start taking ambien. Instead, I think that you should start trying marijuana. If you have never smoked weed before, you may be confused as to why I would suggest using it at all when it comes to sleeping better.

However, it is important to keep in mind that a lot of the chemical compounds found in cannabis can actually help our brains and bodies to feel more relaxed, calm, and sedated. This can lead to a great night’s sleep if you play your cards right. So today, I wanted to write this article for all the people out there that cannot get enough sleep at the moment.

So what happens if you don’t get enough sleep? Well, most people generally think that they will feel really tired and drained the next day, and this is true. However, there are some serious health problems that can take place when you don’t get enough sleep night after night. DId you know that insomnia impacts over 30% of the adults in the United States?

That means nearly 1 out of every 3 people you meet is not getting enough sleep at night. Your body and mind need sleep to function properly, and that includes fighting off certain infections and bacterias. When you do not get enough sleep at night, you can end up lowering your immune system and becoming more susceptible to diseases and viruses. You also have an increased chance of developing some more severe diseases like cancer, and it can even affect your memory. Overall, sleep is super important. So let’s talk about where marijuana comes in.

There are two main types of marijuana strains that most people use nowadays: indica and sativa. If you read the title of this article, you probably noticed that I already mentioned indica as the preferred strain type for sleeping. Indica is found in certain types of cannabis strains, and it is generally the type of THC that will make you feel much more relaxed and tired.

Sativa, in contrast, can increase your energy levels and make you feel more alert. You want to avoid taking sativa before going to bed. Indica is definitely the right choice for someone who is struggling to sleep at night. Using marijuana for sleep is becoming more and more common, but there is not a whole lot of scientific evidence to backup these occurrences. However, I would definitely recommend giving indica cannabis a try before you go back to the doctor for some other prescription medications.
