Cannabis for Insomnia & Sleep
Cannabis strains that users report may help with sleep difficulties. Indica-dominant strains with myrcene are most frequently cited for sleep support. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in cannabis and is associated with sedative, muscle-relaxant effects. CBN (cannabinol), a minor cannabinoid that forms as THC ages, is increasingly popular in sleep-specific products.
What to Look For
Look for indica strains with high myrcene content. Products labeled as containing CBN are specifically formulated for sleep. Edibles taken 1-2 hours before bed can provide sustained effects through the night, which is useful for staying asleep rather than just falling asleep. Avoid sativa strains before bed. A consistent dose at the same time each evening helps establish a sleep routine. Start with 2.5-5mg THC edibles and adjust from there.
