Understanding Sleep

Sleep-promoting cannabis effects go beyond simple drowsiness. The right strains help reset your circadian rhythm, quiet the mental chatter that keeps you awake, and relax muscle tension that interrupts sleep. Heavy indicas with high Myrcene content are particularly effective, as Myrcene has been shown to increase sleep duration in studies. The key is timing—consuming 1-2 hours before your intended sleep time allows the effects to peak when you're ready to rest.
