How Weed Helps You Sleep
A good sleep can determine whether or not you will have a good or bad day. No matter what you do – your sleep cycle is extremely important for your overall well-being. Unfortunately for some, a good night’s sleep is hard to come by – but we are here to help! Science has proven that with the help of certain cannabis strains you can improve your chances for a better night’s sleep.
The recommended amount of sleep the average adult needs is at least seven hours. By achieving 7 hours of sleep you have given your body the opportunity to rest, relax and rejuvenate — so when was the last time you had 7 hours of sleep? It is estimated that between 30-40% of adults suffer from some kind of sleeping disorder – diagnosed or not. It is believed that 10-15% of adults suffer from chronic insomnia – so the statistics say a good night’s sleep is hard to get.
So how do we fight against these statistics? Well, our cannabis products at Quadzilla can help you out!
The Importance of Sleep
Sleep is basically the best thing you can do for your body and mind — while you sleep your body relaxes, releases stress, improves your memory, can lower blood pressure and so much more. This is why it is crucial that you get a good night’s sleep as often as possible – and there is no problem seeking out a natural sleeping aid like weed to support this important part of your life. So what happens when you don’t get your seven hours of sleep?
Little Sleep Can Lead to Weight Increase
Through several studies, there have been connections made between individuals with high BMIs weight and a lack of sleep. Those with lower BMI tend to rest easier and therefore experience the benefits of a good sleep.
Studies have also attributed the lack of sleep can lead to obesity – not only in adults but children as well. This connection has also led to further contributing factors such as stress levels, general motivation to exercise and hormonal imbalances.

As we stated before the benefits of a good sleep are various and important for your overall well-being. But we must point out the immediate benefit of just feeling shaper and more on the ball! A good night’s sleep allows you to release any stress you may be feeling, allows your brain to process and analyse the day, which in turn allows you to focus on a new day. The important but basic functions we often ignore like comprehension, memory, and concentration are all impacted by a deep sleep. So get your seven hours in — you will see an immediate pay off!

Stress and anxiety often determine whether or not you will have a good night’s sleep — if you are going through a difficult time you may find it hard to fall asleep at night if you are experiencing continued stress you may find yourself waking up in the middle of the night. Each time you lose out on that good sleep you can run the risk of starting a vicious sleeping pattern.
Cannabis is known to provide almost instant relief for anxiety and stress — a quick puff, a bite of an edible, smoking your vape – whatever it maybe you will find some relief. So paired with the well-known sleepy effects and reduced stress levels cannabis will certainly help you get a better night’s sleep.

Cannabis Can Help Create a Deeper Sleep

If this sounds like you, what you may be dealing with is an inability to get a deep sleep. So, sure cannabis will help you fall asleep, but studies have also shown that it helps decrease REM sleep and increase deep sleep or slow-wave sleep.
Your deep sleep or slow-wave sleep is crucial to your memory abilities, therefore it is of absolute necessity that you get the sleep you need. At Quadzilla we have worked hard to create a catalogue of flowers with various benefits – and many focused on helping an individual get a good sleep.

So a puff or two of Mike Tyson will certainly send you off to dreamland and later on that deep sleep, you need to help you concentrate.
Maybe you want to try something out that doesn’t have a hard hit like Mike Tyson — well Pink Chunk strain could be the better option. Yielding a 27% THC, with a heavily Indica dominant focus this strain will leave you feeling stress-free and fight against any level of insomnia.
