First things first:
What is insomnia?

Insomnia is a medical condition diagnosed by your doctor. When you have insomnia, you can’t fall asleep, cannot stay asleep, or you wake up too early and cannot fall back asleep.

An elusive restful sleep can be incredibly disruptive to your mental health and your physical well-being. If you’ve been diagnosed with insomnia, you may experience irritability, fatigue, depression, a lack of focus, or develop anxiety regarding sleep.

Struggling with sleep is a medical condition and a symptom.

Insomnia can be a medical concern in itself and a symptom or side effect of a medical condition you have. Diagnoses like chronic pain, multiple sclerosis (MS), or anxiety may disrupt your sleep. It’s important to pinpoint why you have insomnia so you address your sleeplessness correctly.

If you have been diagnosed with chronic insomnia and one or more of your major life activities is substantially limited, you may qualify for medical cannabis treatment. Importantly, cannabis does not help with all sleep issues, such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea. If cannabis isn’t the right solution for you, we encourage you to talk to your doctor to explore other options.

Study the cannabinoids

conversion
  1. Look beyond indica, sativa, and hybrid designations.

    The words indica and sativa are terms that refer to the physical characteristics of the plant and are not always an indicator of the experience. It’s much more important to evaluate the phytocannabinoid and terpene profile to identity the best product for your needs

  2. Think about terpenes.

    Terpenes are natural components of plants that influence the taste, smell and experience of medical cannabis. Terpenes like Myrcene, Linalool, and Beta Caryophyllene are associated with unwinding and relaxing, but there are lesser known terpenes like Nerolidol that can have an impact as well.

  3. Study the cannabinoids.

    All sorts of cannabinoids – including THC, CBD, the minor cannabinoid CBN, and many more – impact your experience. This is called the entourage effect, and it can play a role in helping you get quality sleep. Understand the breakdown of all the product contains, and don’t rely on just one cannabinoid.

conversion

Which medical conditions impact sleep?

Some of the most common conditions that can interrupt quality rest are chronic pain, anxiety, and neuropathy. If you know that one of these conditions adversely affects your sleep, you may want to try a cannabis routine with these product types.
