If you’ve tried it all and still can’t sleep, cannabis just might be the solution you’re seeking. Since ancient times, cannabis has been used to help people rest, relax and get some serious shut eye. Here’s how.

THC vs. CBD: The Dream Team

Cannabis works in different ways when it comes to sleep. Here’s what you need to know about THC vs. CBD:

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

• The psychoactive powerhouse that helps you fall asleep faster.
• Increases deep sleep, reducing those middle of the night wake up cycles.
• But beware—long-term use may throw off your sleep cycle over time.

CBD (Cannabidiol)

• Non-psychoactive and known for its calming effects.
• Reduces anxiety and helps relax the mind for a better snooze.
• Great for people who need rest without the “high.”

Different Cannabinoids & Your Sleep Cycle

Cannabis doesn’t just knock you out—it actually influences different sleep stages. THC is thought to boost deep sleep, which helps with physical recovery. However, it can also reduce REM sleep, which may mean you dream less (a positive for anyone with nightmares or PTSD). Alternatively, CBN (Cannabinol), a lesser-known cannabinoid, is gaining popularity for its potential to enhance overall sleep quality.

Keep These Things in Mind

While cannabis can be a great sleep aid, you should consider a few factors:

• Too much THC can leave you groggy the next day.
• Long-term use may mess with your natural sleep cycle.
• Which strain you select matters— the wrong one may keep you up all night.
