For anyone who hasn’t been lucky enough to experience night terrors, sleep paralysis or chronic nightmares this may sound a little strange. But for those who deal with them daily, yes there is help and it is coming. Nightmares are often a side effect of PTSD, stress, anxiety and a variety of other issues. If you can’t sleep properly, it can be much harder to deal with those things during the day. Severe nightmares can also create new mental health issues. If you go to sleep every night and mentally experience all sorts of horror, stress and fear it is bound to affect your general mental health. Luckily there is help available, some strains can not just help with getting to sleep but can actually stop you from dreaming.
This classic strain is perfect for getting through the night completely dreamless. The effect is powerfully relaxing and soporific, often used by those who suffer from insomnia. Afghani and Thai genetics came together to create this extremely chill but still knock out strain. The THC level is usually around 18% and the heavy Indica effect will shut down the brain completely at bedtime. It doesn’t just send you off to the land of nod, it keeps your brain free from dreams. Northern Lights also has a medium to high CBD level of 1 – 5% which increases the therapeutic aspects of the strain. Despite it being an Indica it looks a lot like a Sativa plant when it grows. When this strain is grown indoors it will produce around 500g/sq meter. Outdoors the yield can be even larger, especially if she is exposed to a decent amount of sunlight. She is also an award winner and is considered to be one of the best strains on the market. Northern Lights will grow well indoors or outdoors and has a short flowering time of 7 – 8 weeks.
