Being an insomniac means you’ve seen many sleepless nights. You toss and turn in bed trying to find the most comfortable angles to help you finally catch some Z’s only for the sun to rise and you’re still struggling to get some shut eye. Your body feels exhausted and you desperately need to sleep, but your mind won’t stop running and your eyes just can’t stay closed. My dearest insomniacs, I feel you. I hear you. I am you. Insomnia is the worst, but luckily there are many cannabis strains out there that are effective in sleep aid. If you’ve struggled with sleep due to stress, anxiety, depression, pain, etc., and partake in the use of marijuana, here’s a list of 5 of the best and most effective cannabis strains that will help any insomniac finally get a good night’s rest.
A true India strain, Hindu Kush provides an intense body high that is relaxing and definitely aids in sleep. This strain is said to have sedating effects that give your mind dreamy visuals as you close your eyes. This strain works well to give your body a numbness that helps the kind of insomniacs who toss and turn because of pain. It’s also great for relieving stress and anxiety. With a THC composition measuring between 17% to 20%, a couple hits of Hindu Kush right before bed will have you feeling like you’re sleeping on a cloud.
God’s Gift is literally God’s gift to insomniacs.
