Is indica or sativa better for sleep?

Question

I struggle with restless nights and have been looking into natural remedies. I've heard of Indica and Sativa, but I'm confused about which one is better for helping with sleep.

My grandmother always recommended warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg for sleep. However, if you are looking at medical cannabis options, doctors usually recommend Indica because of its calming effect. Please consult a professional.

Indica is traditionally associated with relaxation and sedation, whereas Sativa is more stimulating. But honestly, rather than self-medicating, consulting a certified physician who prescribes medical cannabis legally in India is the best approach.

From what I have researched, Indica is definitely the one for sleep as it has more relaxing properties, while Sativa is more of a daytime thing. Still trying to understand how the legal medical oils work here.

Manpreet Singh · Answer

I have used prescribed medical CBD/THC for my chronic insomnia. Indica is 100% better for sleep because it gives a calm body sensation. Make sure you start with a very low dose as recommended by the doctor.

I totally get it, sleepless nights are so exhausting and frustrating. Indica is generally known to help quiet the mind and relax the muscles, which helps you fall asleep. Do take care of yourself.

Varun Dhawan · Answer

Indica for sure, bro. Sativa will just keep your mind racing with ideas and you won't sleep at all. Just make sure you are getting the legal prescribed stuff and not random things.
