Sleep... that elusive demon...
As we age, sleep can get a little wonky. The plant CAN help with that.
But how exactly?
I'll tell it to you the way I tell it to the amazing budtenders of New York.
C.B.N - it's like a weighted blanket that holds you down once you fall asleep. It may help ease anxiety and stress, but what many people utilize it for and tout the wonders of is sleep.
I've personally used it for anxiety and stress. When you're all angsty and feeling like your body is going a mile a minute, it can slow some of that down for me. It's relaxing for me.
What should you know? Studies are showing that it activates a part of the brain that can create what is called vivid dreams.
Vivid dreams are all well and dandy if you are happy and not thinking about a bunch of negative crap before bed.
What you are watching, thinking, ruminating over before bed comes with you and sets the stage for your morning. C.B.N may enhance that and bring it front and center in your dreams.
Those with PTSD may have more trouble with this. Start low and go slow. Never forget that.
Now, what's the balance? How do we make this compound work for us?
Balance it with C.B.D. This magical compound is likely to help ease those racing thoughts (i.e. Sunday Scaries). I'd love to see more products with that balance.
We want beneficial sleep, rest, real rest, and we can do that with mindful plant tech if we're not going full spectrum.
What's your nightly routine like?
Shout out to the brands for playing with effects based formulationsss.
