Struggling with sleep? Youre not alone. Millions of Canadians deal with insomnia, restless nights, or difficulty winding down. While cannabis isnt a cure-all, many people find certain strains helpful for relaxation and sleep support.
How Cannabis Affects Sleep
Cannabis interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating sleep-wake cycles. The effects depend on:
- THC – May help you fall asleep faster
- CBD – May reduce anxiety that interferes with sleep
- Terpenes – Aromatic compounds like myrcene may enhance sedative effects
