I read a few articles on Pub MD and see that CBD increases wakefulness. What is the recommened amount of each to help with insomnia?\"\n_____________________\nIt really differs per person, generally a high THC in an Indica strain will help with Insomnia. Stay away from Sativas or Hybrids with Sativa dominant.\n\ngangaraptor\n_____________________\nTo answer your question: It depends on the tolerance level of the individual.\n\nI find my body reacts in a similar way to what you've described. I only take the low THC high CBD combo tincture in the morning now. \n\nFor sleep aid, I focus on heavy indicas in flower, vape pen, or dab-able concentrate form. Low dose edibles like Kiva's Blueberries taken a half hour to hour before bed also work well, but can give me a little residual sleepy hangover (like nyquil) if I consume more than one.\n\njess\n_____________________\nDosage is about the most personal thing out there-- and sure evidence that everyone's body is different so there is no one-size-fits-all medicine.  Any dosage recommendations should read: take a small dose (and record what you took) and wait an hour. \nRepeat until you get the effect that you need (of the THC). \nCBN is a cannabinoid that seems to be most responsible for sleep-- though it is sometimes hard to find things containing a higher CBD amount. If you are in CA try our  Snooze Bar as it is formulated with superfoods (poppyseeds and nutmeg) and Ayurvedic herbs to help with sleep.\n\neden","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11186-markdown","title":"What is the best tincture product for insomnia?","slug":"what-is-the-best-tincture-product-for-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nActually, insomnia usually stems from anxiety during the day and the mind is overactive it night. In order to quiet the mind it usually takes a 1:1, CBD: THC tincture or a 2:1, CBD: THC tincture the quiet in mind. I have found that many people do Sativa cannabis in the afternoon and evening and then wonder why they can't sleep with their Indica cannabis. Since Sativa is very high in THC and very low in the CBD, taking Indica after Sativa will just bump up the THC level and over activate the brain making it impossible to sleep. If you have been taking Sativa in the evening, you must balance that THC with a high dose of CBD to create a one-to-one ratio in your body and you will go to sleep because the 1:1 you have now created will act like an Indica. Anything you do to bring your \nCBD : THC into a 1:1 ratio, or 2:1 ratio should put you to sleep but I find in patients with anxiety, They must treat their anxiety 24/7 and this is achieved by doing high-dose CBD during the day also. There is no one best product for insomnia, it's about knowing what you have on board and creating the balance between the CBD: THC. I hope this gives you clarity on how to proceed for a good nights sleep.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11171-markdown","title":"Is Grape Ape one of the best strains to smoke to combat insomnia?","slug":"is-grape-ape-one-of-the-best-strains-to-smoke-to-combat-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nGrape Ape is an indica, and so therefore should fit the bill. However, many people find that they fall asleep fast, but then wake later. For this reason, you might try an edible rather than smoking. Edibles take longer to kick in, and stick around in your system longer. \n\nYou might find this is a better recipe for insomnia. You don't need to find a Grape Ape edible, any good indica based edible should do.\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11166-markdown","title":"What is the best type of cannabis for insomnia?","slug":"what-is-the-best-type-of-cannabis-for-insomnia","content":"\n_____________________\nResults vary from patient to patient, but most often indica strains will aide with sleep. Indica puts you \"in da couch\". Cannabis that has been aged (left out and exposed to sunlight), will develop a higher level of CBN, which is quite sedating. Edibles and tinctures will have a longer duration of effect and are most helpful for people who wake up frequently during the night.\n\nandrewvanmd","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11156-markdown","title":"What do you recommend for insomnia (from the products shown on your menu)?","slug":"what-do-you-recommend-for-insomnia-from-the-products-shown-on-your-menu","content":"\n_____________________\nIn general indica dominant OG strains, Kush strains, and purple strains are more likely to be sedating and sleep-inducing. \n\nGlow operates within Los Angeles city and offers several of these strains.

I read edible indica is recommended. Can you name some products I could try?\"\n_____________________\nIt is true that an indica is a good choice for sleeping, whereas a sativa will make you more energetic. Hybrids, the combo of the two, might have that energetic effect as well.\nAs everyone is very different in their reaction to cannabis, you most often will need to experiment with what works for you. For instance, if you are sensitive to THC it may actually be very easy to take too much and even with an indica it could keep you awake.\n\nMy advice to you is to go low and slow and experiment with some different products. One approach you might take is to use cannabis before you go to bed and see if it extends your sleep. If you choose this route, many people like to use edibles. Auntie Dolores has many different THC infused products. Do yourself a favor though and do not take more than 5mg your first night and see how you react, if all is good but the effect was not enough you may want to increase to 10mg the next night. An edible will take a minimum of 1 hour before you feel the effects. One edible I adore is Flora's pro biotic mint chocolate bite which is a 5mg dose. You can find this on www.Getsava.com  They do statewide delivery and the people there will always give good advice.\n\nThe other route to go is with a tincture or sublingual spray. I find that Alta Botanical California's spasm tincture works well for me. I also like Absolute Extracts sub lingual spray Sleepytime. For me one spray of this under the tongue is enough. I will spray one squirt in my mouth in the middle of the night if i can not sleep and it works well, but I do feel a little lethargic in the am, but that is me. Tinctures and sub linguals work quickly and the effect can be felt in as little as 15 minutes. Again, go with a lower dose than suggested and see how it works for you.\n\nYou could vape before bedtime and this could work for you. There are indica dominant oil cartridges out there that are good for sleeping. I don't like theidea of vaping near bedtime so this is never my preference. Be cautious regarding your sensitivity to THC as it could keep you up. Start with one puff and go up from there.\n \nWhat I would not recommend are the gummies they hand out at the dispensaries with purchase. They always seems to steer people towards these and i have yet to meet someone it works well for for insomnia.\n\nHope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11135-markdown","title":"Which of these Sensi Chew products would help me sleep?","slug":"which-of-these-sensi-chew-products-would-help-me-sleep","content":"\"Which is best to take at night before I go to bed?\"\n_____________________\nSensi chew \"Insomnia\" of course!

I have back pain, arthritis, headaches, copd and insomnia. What are some good strains for these - both daytime and nighttime?\"\n_____________________\nTo avoid psychoactivity and mental fog, use high CBD strains like ACDC or CBD:THC ratios of 1:1 or 2:1(Harlequin, Cannatonic, Medi-Haze). Topical cannabis salve is effective in relieving pain, inflammation, and spasm when massaged into the affected area - great for day or night. Small amounts of strains like Blue Dream are good for daytime pain and inflammation but have some psychoactivity that usually dissipates after an hour or so if you don't use too much. But for a full entourage effect, try to use a strain that has at least some CBD. CBD and THC act better together than either one does by itself. Acetaminophen potentiates the pain relieving effects of THC. NSAIDs diminish THC's pain relief. Indicas like Granddaddy Purple, Purple Haze, Purple Urkle, Critical Kush, Master Kush are excellent strains for nighttime. Not only do they relieve pain, muscle spasm, and inflammation but they facilitate falling and staying  asleep.\n\ndrfrye\n_____________________\nWell, for the day time you are going to want something that can give you the effects, but not something that puts you down energy wise. That's great at night, but what about if you have things to do? Sativas, they give you that creative boost as well as making life more bright and cheery. (Green crack is a great daytime medicine.  It helps with lack of appetite in my case. ) Indica is your night dosage. Helps you sleep kills pain for a relaxing finish to you day. Spent time with your family or play some video games. (Try chocolate chunk, northern lights, or some purple durkle.)\n\nlai","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11110-markdown","title":"What would be a good strain for insomnia?","slug":"what-would-be-a-good-strain-for-insomnia","content":"\"I have heard indicas are better for nighttime smoking, what would be a good strain?\"\n_____________________\nI discourage smoking, because when you burn weed, you are making carbon monoxide, tar, and carcinogens. If you use a lighter, you are inhaling butane. All of these chemicals are toxic and may be harmful. \n\nSo, if you want a fast-acting medication, I suggest vaporizing. Keep in mind that the sedative effects of vaporized cannabis will only last for an hour or two. If you find that you are waking up in the middle of the night with difficulty staying asleep, I would recommend an edible formulation, which will last up to 6-8 hours and hopefully allow a full night's sleep. \n\nIndica strains are, in general, much more relaxing and sleep-inducing than sativa strains. There are many. Some suggestions include \"purple,\" \"OG,\" and \"kush\" strains. You can always ask other members of your collective / bud tenders to help point you in the right direction.\n\ndredmunds","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11103-markdown","title":"Can you recommend CBD strains or products for insomnia?","slug":"can-you-recommend-cbd-strains-or-products-for-insomnia","content":"\"I have tried several Indica strains and I become relaxed, but my mind was still racing.\"\n_____________________\nAfter smoking a strong Indica my mind usually goes into deep thought and after about 1-2 hours of  deep thought as the \"high\" is coming down I start feeling tired and eventually fall asleep. A strain of flowers I recently smoked was called \"Heirloom OG\"(aka \"High Octane OG\")  and this Indica put me to sleep almost instantly, without the sensation of my mind racing with thoughts.\n\nBartSmart\n_____________________\nThis post looks old but I wanted to let you know about the hmblt dose sleep pen - It's an amazing new product on the market. They just got best invention of the year from Time Magazine.\r\n\r\nI'm proud to say ONA.life delivers this sleeping dose pen ;) \r\n\r\nHope you are sleeping better recently! \r\n\r\n- Nurit\n\nnurit\n_____________________\nCBD tends to be energizing at low doses but can be sedating at high doses in some patients. If your difficulty in falling asleep is anxiety-driven, then perhaps using CBD twice a day (early am and around 4 PM) will alleviate your anxiety, thus allowing you to shut things off and fall asleep faster. With that, you might also try a different indica with higher myrcene or CBN levels which tend to be more sedating or increasing the dose.  Granddaddy Purple, Purple Urkle, Critical Kush, and Master Kush are very popular varieties for insomnia. You may not be using enough. Whether you use a CBD or heavier indica, try vaping 1-2 puffs every 10 mins or so until you feel ready to fall asleep. Some patients find edibles have a more sedating effect but the absorption can be unpredictable so you should allow 1-2 hours for them to take effect. If titrating CBD, pick a time where sleep isn't crucial to figure out how much you need for sedation, because it may cause increased alertness.\n\ndrfrye\n_____________________\nIt depends on why you have insomnia...some people can take High CBD at bedtime which helps with anxiety and pain therefore allows them to sleep...but for most people since High CBD strains are sativa or sativa dominant, most people feel more alert and awake taking CBD at night time. Your best bet is if you do take CBD at night, add a small amount of a THC which is a Indica strain. Indica strains are sedating.  If you do use tinctures, you can experiment and control how much THC you get in your dose and customize it for you. OR you can use THC alone to help with sleep.\n\nPiantaTinta","image":null}}]}},"pageContext":{"limit":12,"skip":192,"numPages":20,"currentPage":17,"id":5389,"name":"Insomnia","slug":"insomnia","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
