When I was a lot younger I had more energy by nature.
I’ve been drinking coffee on and off since I was 10 years old, but I really need the caffeine these days if I want to function at the level and degree that I need to.
I don’t know if my lethargy is due to age or personal health issues, but it has certainly gotten worse over the last 10 years or so. You would think that somebody who feels extremely tired during the day but also feels tired at night. It would make sense when somebody like this would get to sleep a lot easier than someone else. But the cruel irony is that for all of the exhaustion I feel during daylight hours, as soon as it gets dark out I start to feel insomnia. And that’s precisely why I had to find something to treat my insomnia. Unfortunately, I wanted the pharmaceutical drugs I tried and too many side effects. They would typically give me a hangover that I would feel the next day. Cannabis on the other hand comes with the fewest amount of side effects out of any medication I’ve yet to take for insomnia. I just have to find specific strains of cannabis that are strong and sedating to use before bed. Some of these Indica strains of cannabis might be too sedating for some users. Especially for people who want to use cannabis during the day, the sedating strains might be too much. If I’m going to use cannabis during the afternoon for instance, I reach for energizing sativa strains instead.
