Cannabis For Sleep: What You’re Doing Wrong

You’re probably one of the 1 in 3 Americans that don’t get enough sleep. And for plenty of people with chronic pain, even getting 8 hours of sleep doesn’t help us feel refreshed when we wake up. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was some silver bullet for crushing insomnia?⁣
⁣
You might have heard cannabis can help with sleep. But how? Most people think they can just eat a 25 mg pot brownie and fall easily asleep. That’s the equivalent of drinking a bottle of wine and passing out. While you might get to sleep, will you stay asleep? And will that be a deep, restorative sleep?⁣
⁣
Cannabis for sleep can be tricky. You probably don’t know that there are different cannabinoids for sleep. It’s not just THC. There’s CBD and CBN. And then there’s terpenes like linalool or myrcene that can help you get to sleep and stay asleep.⁣

Ladykind Wind Down CBD Tincture for sleep

This is what I use daily to get to sleep. There’s more than CBD in Ladykind’s Wind Down Nightly Mind Relaxing Tincture, and it helps with both sleep and hormone balance for women. It contains another cannabinoid cannabinol (CBN), valerian root, and melatonin. Other ingredients that rounds out this one-of-a-kind formula include magnesium, black cohosh, holy basil, panax ginseng, ashwagandha, and maca root.

Here’s what why the ingredients in Ladykind Wind Down are amazing for relaxation, sleep, and even nighttime pain relief:

  • CBN – cannabinol, a rare phytocannabinoid that may promote sleep, reduce pain, and lower inflammation levels.
  • Valerian Root – an herb used to relax muscles, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep. It may also have benefits for women with menstrual cramps, PMS, or hot flashes from menopause.
  • Melatonin – a hormone produced by the pineal gland at night to induce sleep. It may also help with anxiety.
  • Black Cohosh – an herb with similar effects as estrogen, often used for menopause, PMS, and painful periods.
  • Holy Basil – an adaptogen that helps reduce stress and anxiety.
  • Panax Ginseng – an Asian herb that may improve sleep and mood issues in menopausal women.
  • Magnesium – a vital mineral involved in over 300 body processes, including sleep and mood.
  • Ashwagandha -an adaptogen that promotes sleep and reduces anxiety in people under high stress.
  • Maca Root – this superfood native to Peru can promote relaxation and even reduce symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats.
  • MCT Oil – medium chain triglycerides (MCT) come from coconut oil and have many health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving gut health.

Don’t like CBD oil? Try FOCL CBD capsules for sleep that contain CBD and other ingredients that boost sleep like GABA, 5-HTP, lemon balm extract, melatonin, valerian root, and passion flower extract.

How cannabis works for sleep depends on these five things:⁣

-Route of administration⁣
-Timing before sleep⁣
-Dosage of cannabinoids⁣
-Presence of other terpenes or supplements that support sleep⁣
-Any other medications you’re taking⁣

What route of administration you choose determines when you should take your cannabis product. Smoking cannabis or using drops can cause the cannabinoids to enter your bloodstream instantly, making them a good choice to use right before bed. Because edibles aren’t processed by your body for 30 minutes to an hour after consuming, you want to take them as your winding down for the night, rather than tossing and turning in bed for 30 minutes before it kicks in.⁣
⁣
Did you know that CBD can interact with many medications? CBD can inhibit liver enzymes that break down the majority of medications. If you’re taking one of those drugs with CBD, you could end up asleep faster or slower than you want, or you might have unwanted side effects like nausea or headache. CBD isn’t simple when you’re a patient with chronic illness.⁣

This is a must read! Link in bi0.

    Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.
