How to Beat Daylight Savings Time with Cannabis
Daylight savings time is back, and with it comes the dreaded lost hour of sleep. If you’re feeling groggy, cranky, or just out of sync, you’re not alone. The time shift can mess with your internal clock, leaving you struggling to wake up in the morning or tossing and turning at night. Luckily, cannabis can help make the transition smoother, whether you need a little extra energy to power through the day or a sleep aid to adjust to the new schedule.
Start the Day with an Energizing Sativa
Waking up an hour earlier is rough, but the right cannabis strain can help you shake off the sleepiness and get moving. Sativas and sativa-leaning hybrids are known for their uplifting effects, making them a great choice for an early morning boost. Look for strains like Super Lemon Haze or Durban Poison, which can help improve focus and motivation without the jitters of caffeine. If you prefer something discreet, a THC-infused beverage or a low-dose gummy can give you a gentle lift without the overwhelming effects.
Midday Slump? Try a Microdose
One of the biggest struggles with daylight savings time is the dreaded afternoon crash. Your body still thinks it’s an hour earlier, making you feel sluggish just when you need to be productive. Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee, consider a microdose of cannabis. A small dose of a balanced THC:CBD tincture or a mild hybrid strain can provide a little boost without making you feel groggy. If you work from home, a quick cannabis-infused tea break might be just the thing to reset your focus.
This is also a great time to incorporate cannabis into your movement routine. A short walk or a light yoga session paired with an uplifting strain like Green Crack can help shake off fatigue and get you back on track.
Wind Down with an Indica for Better Sleep
The hardest part of adjusting to daylight savings is often bedtime. Your body may not feel ready to sleep an hour earlier, leading to tossing, turning, and groggy mornings. To help reset your internal clock, try a relaxing indica strain like Granddaddy Purple or Northern Lights about an hour before bed. Edibles can also be a great option since their effects last longer, helping you stay asleep through the night.
If sleep is a major struggle for you, consider a product with CBN, a cannabinoid known for its sedative effects. Many of our sleep-friendly edibles and tinctures contain a blend of THC, CBD, and CBN to help promote deep, restful sleep.
