So how are you this lovely Saturday? Ready to take on this day? I'm feeling like my Saturday's are cursed. Like last week I not only sleep long but got a migraine shortly after waking. 🙄 Ugh. Yay for cannabis! A couple puffs of Jack Herer cart is keeping it at bay. It worked to kill it last week and I'm counting on it working today. Let's get to it!

First remember get some 💦 into your beautiful self! Take 💊 🌬️ if you have them. Take care of 🧺. How about a cup of ☕ or some other beverage? Go get that. How about grabbing something healthy to munch on while you're here? All set! Let's get to it.

Let's talk about our fav total relaxation, nighttime/bedtime strains.

Sleep is elusive for me. It has been as long as I remember and I think it must be genetic but I have an insomniac brother and two of my kids also. Poor kids of mine would get up and wander the house in the middle of the night as soon as they could get out of bed themselves. Luckily, mom was a light sleeper and able to calm them and get music playing for them or a book and send them back to self soothe in their beds with only a night light on.

Anyway, sleep is important for health. Doctors have given me all kinds of pharmaceuticals to try to help. None would keep me asleep and few worked at all. I have a brain that just doesn't shut up. Enter cannabis at age 60. Finally! Something that worked to quiet my thoughts and allow me to eventually learn to relax every muscle in my body so it felt I was detached from it. Total relief from pain. Huge!

On to my fav actually get a damned good night's rest wrapped in a blanket strain, Northern Lights. I love this strain. While I can't quite describe the flavor I remember it being pleasant even as a newbie. This is also a potent strain because even when my tolerance is super high it works well.

I really do feel like I'm snuggled into a warm blanket and either locked into my bed or floating above it depending on how successful meditation goes. It's thought calming and muscle tension calming. It brings a sense of peace, all is going to be OK. Perfect effect for a peaceful few hours of sleep.

Your turn! Tell us about one or two of your favorite total relaxation, sedating strains. Tell us about the taste, what effects you love about them, when you use it and for what purposes.

Lets get enough strains talked about here that when we're curious about a strain we can search our sub and find what we're looking for described for us by one of our own.

I hope you're all having a most wonderful day. If you're struggling, know you really are stronger than you think.
