Insomnia is no joke.
Without proper rest, a body just doesn’t function properly.
The idea that we can do without proper rest and restorative sleep is just one of the biggest fallacies out there. I lost my ability to rest and sleep. With medical marijuana, I’m getting it back. But I know this will take time, effort and consistent behavior on my part. The behavior thing is on me. For years and years, I pushed myself past where I could operate without sleep. And I acted like it was some sort of badge of honor to treat myself like that. Then, my ability to sleep was simply gone. I lay awake for hour after hour. Prior to cannabis products, the doctor had given me medications to help me sleep. They helped but more often than not, I simply dozed and never really got any REM sleep. And without the deep restorative sleep you body demands, there is no rest. After learning about the benefits of medical marijuana for people in my shoes, I got all about how to get a medical marijuana card. Once I was able to get through the cannabis regulations, I was able to get help at the cannabis dispensary. Those folks at the legal weed store did more for me than I can even articulate. Not only did they know the specific cannabis products to help me, they were kind and compassionate when it came to my condition. I’m on the mend now. After about 4 months of medical cannabis treatments, I’m up to an average of five hours of deep sleep a night.
