CANNABIS FOR SLEEP
Welcome to Cyntivee, where we talk about cannabis re-education. Today we’re talking cannabis for SLEEP. Insomnia is one of the most common ailments that people treat with cannabis and here are the things you need to know.
CANNABIS SMELLS
The way that cannabis SMELLS is an important part of how you’ll FEEL. The smell compounds in cannabis are called TERPENES and they’re found in essential oils and naturally in other plants/fruits as well.
Choosing the right terpenes will be most relevant when you’re smoking or vaporizing cannabis flower. Edibles and tinctures sometimes also include terpenes to help maximize the efficacy of the product.
Terpenes that help with sleep are: Linalool, Caryophyllene, Myrcene.
VARIETY
But if cannabis inhalation is not your thing, then luckily for you..you’ve got options. Cannabis products for sleep. There are tons out there:
Flower
Beverages
Edibles
Topicals

WHAT IS CBN?
You may have heard of THC, or CBD but CBN is a sedative cannabinoid that is primarily known as a potent sleep aid.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR:
CANNABINOID RATIOS
Read the ingredient lists to find the cannabinoids in your product. There will be different amounts of THC, CBD, CBN (and other cannabinoids) in your product and these will impact how you feel and how you sleep.
INGREDIENTS
Check the other ingredients in your product too! Maybe your product contains other sleep-inducing ingredients like, terpenes, lavender or melatonin. Or maybe you want to make sure that you’re considering dietary guidelines like keeping your edible sugar-free or vegan.
VALUE
How many nights of sleep are in your product? How much are you paying per night of sleep? This will take some testing but always good to consider!
TEST AND LEARN
Remember that everyone is different, so you’ll need to experiment to find the right product for you.
There is no definitive research on which cannabinoid ratios or dosages are most effective for sleep. Just like nutrition, fitness and just about every other thing you have to do to keep yourself healthy, one size does not fit all, You’ll have to do some testing to figure out IF this is right thing for you and if so, WHAT is the right thing for you.
