Hello, friends. Getting good rest is so important for our busy days. Many people wonder if medical cannabis helps with sleep. Let us look at what researchers found in one new study.
What's new
A major new review challenges the growing enthusiasm for medical cannabis as an insomnia treatment. Researchers looked at past studies. They found little reliable evidence that it improves sleep quality, sleep duration, or daytime functioning. This review does not prove cause and effect. Researchers caution that this does not mean cannabis is ineffective. They only found that existing studies are too weak to establish whether it works.
What it means for you
It is easy to feel confused by new health news. If you have questions about sleep or supplements, please ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.
One small thing to try
- Keep a calm bedtime routine by reading a book.
