Originally, I started using MMJ because of a cancer diagnosis, but nowadays, I just need something to help with sleep in the evenings.

In my humble opinion, I agree that Sativas are more of your daytime MMJ. There's a lot of argument if there is any difference, but that is my personal experience. Anytime I eat an edible made with a sativa, I tend to have a mind which races constantly and I usually end up thinking about all the things I need to do, etc., etc. In clinical terms, this is what is called a paradoxical effect. You think that something will medicate and relax you, but it has the opposite effect. Again, this is just my personal experience.

With indica, I just get nice and cozy and ready to sleep.

Depending on how strong the batch of edibles I make is, I usually eat a small portion before dinner on an empty stomach and wait a half hour before I eat. By bedtime, I'm usually ready for a good night's sleep.

Good luck with testing your recipes. If you have time, attempt to make infused olive oil to bake your edibles or add to your recipes. Using the actual plant material risks your end product tasting like, well, MMJ. Using an infused oil really does make a difference in the taste.
