The Longest Days of the Year Are Here. Let's Talk About Your Nights.

Most people know summer feels different — but fewer realize why June specifically is one of the harder months for sleep. With the longest days of the year, your body is exposed to more light than at any other point on the calendar. Light signals wakefulness. More of it, later into the evening, means your internal clock gets pushed — and your sleep window quietly shrinks.

 

According to the National Library of Medicine, more than one-third of adults sleep less than seven hours per night on average—falling short of the minimum most experts recommend. For medical cannabis patients already managing chronic conditions, disrupted sleep isn't just inconvenient, it can create a domino effect.


Practicing good sleep hygiene sets a strong foundation for general well-being. 

There are many small things you can do to practice good sleep hygiene: following a consistent schedule, dimming the lights, unplugging from electronics. These things all signal to your nervous system that it’s time to start winding down. 


When you shop with us and see all the product options meant to target sleep, you’ll quickly see that you are not alone. Many of our medical patients incorporate cannabis into their nighttime routine or use it periodically as sleep issues arise. We always encourage patients to discuss cannabis use with their physician, especiallty if they’re currently using other sleep-related medications.
