After all Marijuana makes many people feel sleepy, relaxed and drowsy.<\/p>\n<p>But will it actually help you sleep or does it simply mess up your ability to get a good night&#8217;s sleep?<\/p>\n<p>In a recent edition of the <em>Journal of Addictive Diseases,<\/em> researchers divided their 98 subjects into three groups:<br \/>\n&#8211; daily marijuana users,<br \/>\n&#8211; non-daily marijuana users,<br \/>\n&#8211; and non-users.<\/p>\n<p>38.8% of daily users had insomnia, compared to 10.3% of non-daily users, and 20% of non-users.<\/p>\n<p>This indicates that Marijuana is rather more harmful than helpful when it comes to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>But when they took into account their subject&#8217;s levels of <em>depression<\/em> and <em>anxiety,<\/em> they could no longer find an association between daily marijuana use and insomnia.<\/p>\n<p>This suggests that the negative mood that marijuana brings about in some people plays a larger role in insomnia than the marijuana itself.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re being prescribed medical Marijuana for pain or whatever other reason, pay attention to the mood effects it has on you. <\/p>\n<p>If your mood doesn\u2019t change (or improves) keep on, but if you begin experiencing <em>depression<\/em> or <em>anxiety<\/em> it\u2019s better to find other medicine.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/?page_id=1386\">Here is a quick, easy way to fall asleep in 10 minutes or less\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the big surge of medical Marijuana, researchers are testing this substance on every condition under the sun.
