Cannabis and Sleep

When we smoke cannabis or eat edibles, cannabinoids from those products enter the system and bond with receptors throughout the endocannabinoid system to deliver their effects.

We can't call cannabis a natural sleep aid because we're not qualified to, and it's not necessarily suited for all users. However, we'd also be lying if we said that there isn't a large population that views it as such.

Cannabis affects sleep differently for different people.

Popular Trends

When identifying strains for sleep, people simply point out products and strains that support a cozy and relaxed high. For a lot of users, that can lead them to fall asleep.

Cannabis use isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for a good night's sleep, but it is a part of some people's routines that they gear towards better sleep or being able to fall asleep faster.

Check out this in-depth guide from the Mood Blog to learn how trends in indica-dominant strains like a mellow body high can rub shoulders with what some may describe as sleep-inducing properties.

To Each Their Own

Restful sleep doesn't require indica strains, and sativa strains are still effective components of many people's nighttime routines.

Indica and sativa strains are featured across the best cannabis strains available online and across Mood's catalog.
