Cannabis can be an effective sleep aid for many. It can slow racing thoughts and deliver its own sleepy chemicals to help you fall and stay asleep.
Many people are asking what is best for nighttime? what is best for taking the edge off at the end of the day? or what can help me fall asleep faster? or stay asleep longer? The conversation usually goes to the direction of sativa Vs indica but now most of the strains are hybrid so what is really the best for sleep ?
So we put together a list of strains for a better sleep to give you a few options of what to look out for. But first, some tips to keep in mind:
TIPS
- Side effects of nighttime cannabis use include grogginess the next day, dry mouth and increased appetite.
- THC strains are typically (but not always) the most effective for sleep. You should be aware that a light dose of THC can float you to sleep, but larger doses can worsen anxiety in some consumers.
- Edibles & Oils can help you stay asleep longer. Though inhaling cannabis yields faster effects, edibles & oils last a lot longer.
