Sleep is important to all aspects of our health.
Sleep is important to all aspects of our health, but it’s a fact that many people struggle with getting the right amount.
We know that sleep deprivation can lead to many health problems: heart disease and stroke, weight gain, and decreased performance at work. It makes sense then to use cannabis as a natural solution for insomnia when trying to get better rest.
What is Insomnia?
Insomnia is a sleep disorder that affects your ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling refreshed.
In some cases insomnia may be a symptom of a more serious medical condition like cancer or heart disease. Some medications can cause insomnia as well as withdrawal from alcohol or sedatives.
It can occur alone or with other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Insomnia has many causes, including stress and anxiety, depression, an overactive mind and body clock problems.
If you’re struggling with insomnia there are several options available to help you get some rest including non-drug methods that involve changes to your environment such as making sure your bedroom is dark enough for sleeping and creating an environment conducive to relaxing activities before bedtime such as reading instead of watching TV.
If these changes don’t work then medication might be necessary because sometimes there’s nothing else that will do the trick!
Insomnia is more common than you might think.
It’s one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting 40 to 50 million American adults, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Insomnia can be a symptom of other health issues such as depression and anxiety and can also be caused by stress or physical discomfort.
There are traditional treatments for insomnia, but they may not work well and many are habit-forming.
If you’ve ever tried to fall asleep with a prescription bottle in hand, you know the amazing feeling of utter exhaustion. The problem is that it’s temporary—if you’re taking sleep aids long-term, they can become ineffective or have adverse side effects.
These medications are expensive and often habit-forming, which means they can become harmful if used for an extended period of time. Even worse, some sleep aids can be fatal if taken in high doses.
Many people with insomnia benefit from lifestyle changes, such as going to bed at the same time each night, exercising regularly and avoiding caffeine late in the day.

If you want to get a good night’s sleep, it’s important to understand how your body works. Your body needs enough sleep every night so your brain can repair itself and you can feel rested the next day.
Sleep also helps improve memory and concentration, which may help you perform better at work or school.
Here are some tips on how to get a good night’s sleep:
- Go to bed at the same time each day—even on weekends—so your body knows what time it is when it’s time for bed. It takes about an hour for our brains to wind down before we fall asleep; this time varies from person to person but tends not to be very long (10-20 minutes for most people). If possible, set up a relaxing routine before bed (like taking a shower) so that once you climb into bed you’re ready for sleep!
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is often an effective treatment for insomnia. It teaches people to change the way they think about sleep. It focuses on identifying and changing beliefs and behaviors that can cause or worsen sleep problems. CBT typically involves a counselor or therapist using a specific type of talk therapy and may also teach you how to apply behavioral changes on your own.
CBT is a form of psychotherapy. It helps people change the way they think about sleep. CBT helps people identify and change beliefs, patterns of behavior and lifestyle choices that can cause or worsen their insomnia.
Cognitive behavioral therapy usually involves meeting with a therapist, who will help you understand your thoughts, feelings and actions around your sleep difficulties.
The therapist may ask questions about why you’re having trouble sleeping in order to discover what is causing your insomnia and then correct them by changing your thinking or behavior.
Prescription sleeping pills are an option if CBT isn’t helping or if your doctor determines that you need something more immediate to help you with your symptoms, but sleeping pills are not recommended for long-term use because they can become less effective over time, and they can be habit-forming.

Sleeping pills are not recommended for long-term use because they can become less effective over time, and their effectiveness decreases almost immediately after you stop taking them.
Prescription sleeping pills include medications like Ambien (zolpidem) and Lunesta (eszopiclone). Some people find these drugs helpful, but others have problems with side effects such as feeling hungover the next day or experiencing memory loss during the night.
You should talk to your doctor about other options before taking prescription sleeping pills if possible, as they can be addictive and may cause dependency issues in some individuals.

There is a strong link between chronic pain and insomnia. Chronic pain can be caused by many things, including injury, age, and degenerative diseases like arthritis.
Insomnia can also be caused by these factors; in addition to that, there are numerous other causes of the condition that we’ll discuss later on in this article.

As it turns out, there’s good news for anyone who suffers from both chronic pain and insomnia: medical cannabis may offer relief for both conditions! More specifically:
