Cannabis and Sleep: What to Try (Strains, Products, Tips)

TL;DR

Many people use indica-dominant strains or products with CBN for relaxation and sleep support. Start with a low dose and use in a calm environment. Always talk to your doctor for sleep disorders.

Lots of people explore cannabis for relaxation and sleep. While we can't make medical claims, we can share what many consumers look for and how to use products responsibly.

Strains and Cannabinoids

Indica-dominant strains are often associated with calming, body-heavy effects. Some products highlight CBN (cannabinol), which is sometimes marketed for sleep support. CBD may also support relaxation for some. Our general education covers strains and cannabinoids like CBN.

Product Types

Edibles and tinctures can provide longer-lasting effects, which some prefer before bed. Low-dose options (e.g., 2.5–5mg THC) are a good start. Avoid high doses if you're new—they can sometimes cause restlessness. See our edibles dosing post and consumption guide.

Tips for Use

Use in a calm environment and give yourself time to wind down. Don't drive or operate machinery after use. If you have a sleep disorder, talk to your doctor—cannabis is not a substitute for medical advice. For more on wellness and cannabis, read our medical cannabis education.
