Hello, friends. Sleep is so precious, especially when you are busy caring for others or working hard on your health goals. You might wonder if certain remedies can help you drift off at night.
What's new
One new study, a new Cochrane review, finds that existing evidence is too uncertain to determine whether medical cannabis improves sleep or daytime functioning in people with insomnia. This means researchers do not have enough clear proof yet.
What it means for you
When science is still unsure, it is best to take your time. This news does not prove cause and effect for how these products work on your body. If you are curious about trying new options, always ask your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.
One small thing to try
Tonight, try turning off your screens thirty minutes before bed to help your mind wind down naturally.
