A Real Talk on Stress, Sleep & Period Pain… And Why Men Should Care Too

A Real Talk on Stress, Sleep & Period Pain… And Why Men Should Care Too

As Keeper of the Clouds at Indacloud, I spend a lot of time testing, researching, and finding the best cannabis products. And this one? 

This. is. personal.

Let’s talk about pain, exhaustion, and mood swings — aka, my monthly reality for way too long. (TMI? TOO BAD) 

And listen, if you’re a guy reading this, don’t check out just yet… because even if you don’t personally go through this, I can quite guarantee someone in your life does.

Your partner. Your sister. Your best friend. And your mom, you all have one, so yes, you know SOMEONE. 

They’ve all had days where their body literally won’t let them function, and they probably haven’t told you just how bad it gets.

So yeah, this post is for everyone — because finding relief from stress, exhaustion, and pain shouldn’t be a women-only conversation.

From Research to Real Relief: How I Found My Go-To Cannabis Routine

I’ve tried everything over the years. Over-the-counter painkillers, heating pads, extra sleep, drinking more water (because for some reason, that’s everyone’s advice?), and even just suffering through it.

None of it worked.

So I took my research skills as Keeper of the Clouds and did a deep dive into what actually helps with pain, stress, and sleep.

? THCa (Tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) – Found in cannabis flower and vapes, THCa is non-psychoactive until it’s heated. The moment you smoke, vape, or bake it, it transforms into THC — the powerhouse cannabinoid for pain relief and relaxation.

? Delta-8 THC – A gentler, clear-headed version of THC that relaxes muscles and calms the mind without knocking you out. Being less psychoactive makes it a great daytime counterpart for ANY pain that disrupts your focus. 

? CBN (Cannabinol) – The sleep cannabinoid. Works with THC to relax the body, reduce inflammation, and help you fall (and stay) asleep.

? The kicker? ? I needed fast relief, something I could take anytime, anywhere, without waiting an hour for an edible to kick in or needing to smoke in the middle of the day, or night.

When we created Bedtime Berry Popping Crystals, and I woke up the next morning like I glitched through time… I knew I’d found the answer.

Before Bedtime Berry:

• Tossing and turning, too uncomfortable to sleep.
• Waking up exhausted and irritable, trying to explain to my boss why I’m struggling this week.
• Canceling plans because I just don’t have it in me.

After Bedtime Berry:

• I actually sleep through the night — no more tossing and turning like a washing machine.
• I wake up rested instead of drained. (like I said, washing machine)
• I can actually go out, get things done, and not feel miserable.

And for daytime relief, I lean on Daytime Chronic Crystals, THCa Cannabis or Delta-8 Edibles — so I can still function without the stress, the pain, or the “I might pass out in the grocery store” vibes.

Why These Little Magic Gems Changed Everything

? They work fast. Unlike traditional edibles, popping crystals dissolve quickly and start working within minutes.

? They’re discreet. No need to vape or smoke — I can just pour, pop, and go.

? They actually let me function. Whether I’m running errands, out with friends, or on the clock, I can get relief without losing energy. (like, hello, Daytime Chronic Crystals!) 

Why Men Should Care About This Too

Okay, guys, can we talk? 

You might not personally know the struggle of period pain, but you do know stress, exhaustion, and muscle pain. And I’d like to believe that you definitely know a woman in your life who deals with this every single month. (right???)

So here’s how you can help:

✅ Be aware. If your partner, sister, or friend suddenly seems drained, moody, or in pain, it’s not them being difficult. It’s their body putting them through it.

✅ Offer real solutions. Instead of JUST saying, “Drink more water” (please stop JUST saying drink more water, YOU DRINK MORE WATER! Lol ), maybe you could introduce them to products that actually help — like Indacloud THCa, Delta-8 Cannabis or CBN-infused edibles.

✅ Try these products for yourself. Because guess what? Bedtime Berry isn’t just for period relief — it’s for anyone who needs better sleep, less stress, and more control over their body.

The Research That Backs It Up
