I've had my own experiences with cannabis that make me question if it's actually helpful, or if it could possibly hurt sleep. So I did some research and asked some questions to get to the bottom of this topic.
In this episode, you'll find out all about cannabis and sleep, including:
-What the research shows
-The side effects of cannabis for sleep
-The differences between THC and CBD for sleep
-How it affects the sleep stages
-How it affects neurotransmitters and hormones
-My recommendations for whether to use cannabis or not
The bottom line is that cannabis is a Band-aid. It's not solving what’s out of balance in your body that’s keeping you from sleeping normally.
The way to sleep better naturally and permanently is to find out what's out of whack in your body that's sabotaging your sleep and fix those imbalances. And make sure that your mind isn't keeping from you sleeping.
