The correct cannabis strain is important for restful sleep . Generally speaking , Sativas tend to be elevating and are more appropriate for daytime use . Indica strains , such as “ Purples ” and “ Kushes ,” tend to be relaxing and induce sleep . A strain ’ s terpenes can also have an impact on sleep . Strains high in linalool are relaxing and sleep-inducing . Extremely high THC strains should be avoided , as too much THC and too little CBD can interfere with sound sleep .

I suffered for many years from insomnia , much of it due to a combination of stressful life factors and chronic pain from several neck injuries . I found that applying cannabalm helps immensely . I also keep a Kush vape cartridge on the nightstand . A few puffs quickly induces drowsiness and calms the racing brain . An edible or dropper-full of tincture maintains the desired effect throughout the night . With this combination , I wake up refreshed and pain-free .

Cannabis isn ’ t a solution for all sleep disorders . If you ’ re not already practicing good sleep hygiene , cannabis may be only marginally beneficial . Common sense dictates one not consume a Monster drink before bedtime . Rather than watching a horror film or listening to Screamo music , one might read a relaxing book while listening to classical music before retiring . If , after implementing good sleep hygiene practices , you find you still have insomnia , chances are excellent that including cannabis in your sleep hygiene regimen will produce excellent results .
