If you’re struggling to get a good night’s sleep, cannabis could be what you need to finally get some shut eye. Research suggests that cannabis can act as a sleep aid by helping people fall asleep and get better quality sleep. It can also ease certain conditions that tend to disrupt sleep, like anxiety and chronic pain.
But which cannabis products are the best for sleep issues? We’re here to help you get better sleep by providing specific product recommendations, but first let’s talk a bit about what you want to look for in cannabis sleep products.
The cannabis plant contains dozens of compounds that can modulate your sleep cycle, including the cannabinoids CBD, THC, and CBN. Many people are already familiar with using CBD and THC for sleep, but CBN is less well-known. Studies show that CBN, a minor cannabinoid, may have powerful sedating effects when used alongside THC. So, THC products with added CBN are an excellent option for sleep.
Some cannabis terpenes may also help promote better sleep. Terpenes are aromatic compounds, but emerging research shows they may also have therapeutic effects. Terpinolene and myrcene both appear to offer sedative effects, which can help your body relax into sleep. Caryophyllene eases stress and pain, which can help if either issue is keeping you up.
Now that you know how cannabis can help you get restful sleep, let’s jump into the recommendations from our marijuana experts. Here are 5 cannabis products to try for a good night’s sleep.
