Episode 25: How to Create the Best Evening Routine with Cannabis for Good Sleep
Are you not a morning person or are you just not getting enough sleep? I used to say being a night owl is in my DNA because my mom has always worked nights and stayed up late.
But if I’m being honest, I wasn’t a morning person because I wasn’t getting enough sleep to function in the morning. When I fixed my sleep issues, I was able to become a morning person.
One major key to getting a restful night’s sleep is a relaxing evening routine that tells your brain it’s time to wind down.
