Improve your Sleep! by Rhea Graham

Many people struggle with sleep issues; some can’t get to sleep, some can’t stay asleep, and still others can’t get back to sleep when they must get up in the night. Believe it or not, there’s a Smokeless Cannabis Remedy for each situation!

If you can’t get to sleep at night, an Indica elixir helps most to doze off in about 15 minutes. Elixirs are held in the mouth for a few minutes before swallowing, so the medicine is absorbed by the mucosal lining, allowing it to work faster than anything swallowed. Elixirs are not made with alcohol, so they are good for all ages.

For those who can’t stay asleep, CannaCaps are a great remedy to use. Cannabis can be infused into a carrier oil and put into capsules for this very situation. Capsules are taken as much as 3 or 4 hours before the desired sleep time, depending on the individual. Several things can affect the effect the capsules have on you. Most important is the individual person; most people and animals are knocked out by Indica strains, but not all. Those who are bipolar often have “opposite effect” with medications, so a Sativa or Sativa Hybrid would work best for them to sleep.

For those who can’t go back to sleep once awakened and those who don’t want to experience a high, Cannabis suppositories might be right up your alley. They don’t affect bowel movements like a glycerin suppository does, but they certainly affect your ability to go to and stay asleep. The medication is absorbed through the anal canal walls and works quite fast. Most people have both pain relief and the ability to fall asleep in about 15 minutes. The biggest draw is the fact that a person is almost always able to go back to sleep once getting up when using the sleep supps. For men, an added bonus of using suppositories is that they help to heal the prostate if there are issues with it.
