Mainly for sleeping problems.
My friend said he can only sleep 3 hours a day,and never feel sleepy at work.He tried many things,take pills,do exercise,drink wine before sleep...nothing happen.He suffered too much from sleeping problem.
So he wants to try cannabis.
In general, an indica (NOT a sativa). But probably one that has some percentage of sativa genetics in it, just enough to help prevent that "groggy and lethargic" feeling upon awakening. I do not honestly feel qualified to give medicinal advice, so I would not recommend a
specific strain.

Definitely take advantage of the wealth of information in the more medicinally-themed sections of this forum. You should be able to find an appropriate place to ask such a question, one in which it has a high likelihood of being seen - and answered - by people who have personally experienced that problem and who can give you specific strain recommendations based on their personal experience. Most people are here to help others, and sleep-related issues are not really all that uncommon.
Being able to fall asleep (at an appropriate time, lol) is important. Also important are: Being able to sleep through the night as one uninterrupted period, to
benefit from the sleep (IOW, there is a difference between being in REM sleep and being unconscious
), and being able to wake easily and refreshed the next morning. Sleep - and dreaming. These things are important in many ways. It is a time for the body to deal with accumulated toxins and waste products, a time for the mind to deal with and digest things, et cetera.
Sleep and the body's Circadian rhythm are
very important to one's health and well being. There are other things that
might help, such as certain herbs/substances (alone or in combination with cannabis), preventing ALL light from hitting one's closed eyelids (if your friend has not tried it, perhaps a sleeping mask, non-constrictive blindfold, or even covering the upper half of his face with a dark t-shirt or other piece of lightweight - but heavy enough to block out all illumination - might help). And be aware that it can take from a week to over a month to properly regulate one's sleep patterns, even if/when a solution is found.
Especially[/i] in cases such as your friend's, where the product is chronic in nature and has been ongoing for a long period of time. In severe sleep-related issues, there is usually no "instant solution." This is true whether the root cause is organic, functional - caused by a mental condition or a brain injury and/or disease - or due to stress, environmental conditions, even due to an event in the person's past that has been unconsciously affecting him/her all this time.
you will have the chance.
Wish everyone have a nice dream and a nice day.
