7 Chilled-Out Strains Perfect For Nighttime Use | SolFlower
Welcome to Sol Flower’s 7 Strains series, where we introduce you to a lucky number seven names to know when medicating for a specific use. First up: 7 sleepy strains for nighttime z’s.
It’s 2AM again and you’re wide awake, tossing and turning on sheets that feel like sandpaper with the glow of late-night reruns coming from your laptop. You’ve tried counting sheep, stretching and re-enacting that super boring work conference call, but nothing can keep your mind from racing and your body from stirring.
The medical benefits of establishing and maintaining a regular bedtime are numerous, but what good does lights out by 11 mean if you can’t actually fall asleep? If insomnia has you by the socks, look to Indica strains to release you into full-on slumbertown.
Why Indica? It’s all about the stress relief. Indica strains relax your thoughts and your muscles to zen you out, compared to Sativa strains which are good for a more active-mind experience.
Not all Indicas chill you out equally though, which is why we’ve collected seven varieties you can add to your routine depending on your PM goals.
