Cannabis & Sleep: Strains and Products That Help You Rest
Tossing and turning at night? You’re not alone. Many people turn to cannabis for help with falling asleep faster, staying asleep longer, and waking up refreshed. The key is knowing which cannabinoids and terpenes best support rest.
How Cannabis Supports Sleep
- THC: Can shorten the time it takes to fall asleep. Higher doses may cause grogginess, so moderation is key.
- CBD: Helps reduce anxiety and restlessness, supporting deeper, steadier rest.
- CBN: Known as the “sleepy cannabinoid,” CBN may enhance sedative effects when paired with THC or CBD.
- Terpenes: Myrcene, linalool, and terpinolene are often linked to relaxation and sedation.
Best Strain Types for Sleep
- Indica-dominant strains: Heavier, body-focused effects that ease you into rest.
- Hybrids with calming terpenes: Balanced relaxation without overwhelming sedation.
Examples include:
- Granddaddy Purple – deeply relaxing, classic for nighttime
- Wedding Cake – soothing body high, stress relief
- Blueberry – calming with a sweet flavor
Product Types That Help
- Tinctures: Easy to dose before bed, often blended with CBN.
- Edibles: Provide long-lasting overnight effects.
- Vapes: Quick relief when you’re ready to drift off.
