Sleep is important for laying down memory and allowing the body to undergo cellular regeneration and repair. Insomnia, poor quality sleep, can lead to feelings of stress, worsening mood, even anxiety and depression, memory impairment and reduced quality of work and life.
ECS Plays a Role in Regulating Our Biological Clock
As you may know, everyone has a cell-signaling system known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS) . Cannabinoids interact with the endocannabinoid receptors, mainly in your brain and immune system, helping your body maintain a state of balance and stability, or homeostasis. Researchers have discovered that the ECS plays a huge role in our biological clocks, from sleep patterns to the circadian rhythm.

While some drugs can even worsen mood-related disorders, impair memory, and increase the risk of dementia, when used over long periods.
Melatonin, which is very commonly prescribed, still, there aren’t any studies into long term effects and safety.
