Remember when you were a kid and you despised taking a nap? Now it’s all the rage in a good way.
Napping can do a few things.
One – it can help you rest your mind and body so that when you wake up you feel rested and relaxed.
Two – it can help you relieve pain, feel great, and it shows your body that you’re listening to it. Many of us are go-go-go – so sometimes practice slow-slow-slow!
Need a little help falling asleep? A great strain to incorporate into your weed edibles to help you have a nice little nap is a Hindu Kush strain.
