THC For Sleep

Humans have been working with cannabis for thousands of years. As anyone with experience with cannabis, especially THC-rich products, will attest, certain types of cannabis may have potentially powerful effects on sleep. Take our customer's raving reviews, for example!

Because THC is so well known for its relaxing and sometimes sleep-promoting effects, we've incorporated it into our growing lineup of products designed for evening and nighttime use. Whether you’re seeking an inhalable, edible, tincture or pill to complement your sleep routine, you’re sure to find it in our collection. Carefully blended with other cannabinoids, terpenes, and botanicals, these options promote natural, hemp-derived restfulness and relaxation.

Under modern scientific standards, researchers have just begun to uncover what cannabis, and especially THC, may be helpful for, but one of the most intensely studied areas is THC for sleep. It has to be said that there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved THC for sleep solutions yet. Still, the research has definitely uncovered some compelling evidence. As one recent review summarized, THC may help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up less often during the night, at least in the short term and when taken occasionally.

Evidence has also reported that THC could reduce the time spent in REM sleep (the stage where you dream) and increase slow-wave sleep (the deep, restful sleep stage). However, the type of strain you choose and your consumption method will affect your experience, among other factors.

Is there a specific THC product or type of THC that works best for sleep? You might notice that most of the products we've created to promote sleep contain a special blend of cannabinoids in particular ratios. Yes, they include THC, but they also may contain CBD and CBN, as well as beneficial botanicals, like soothing lavender.

This is because all cannabinoids work via our endocannabinoid system through similar channels, but always in slightly different ways. When we take a spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes, experts theorize they could deliver increased benefits than they may in isolation. This phenomenon is known as the Entourage Effect and is promoted through our special cannabinoid and botanical formulations. As an example, THC by itself may be great for sleep, but with a little CBD, there are additional effects for body relaxation or soothing of daily stressors.

Additionally, people have long suggested Indica-dominant strains of cannabis for sleep. Indicas are frequently reported as sleepier and more relaxing and calming than their sativa counterparts, which is why we've chosen Grand Daddy Purple and Northern Lights strains in our sleep-focused indica Live Rosin Gummies. These strains boast a terpene profile high in myrcene, suited for nighttime and evening use. 

The research suggests that low to moderate serving sizes of THC are likely best for sleep. Increase the amount of THC, and the psychoactive effects become more pronounced, which for many people is still a pleasant experience but might not be as restful as they had intended. 

But what does low to moderate translate to? We've specifically formulated our THC gummies for sleep (and other sleep-oriented options) to fall within this general range. That means Delta-8 THC Tinctures can be delivered in precise 5 mg servings up to a more moderate serving with our Relief Delta-8 THC Gummies and Live Rosin Delta-9-THC Gummies, each with 25 mg servings. Plus, for those who require a bit more THC to get to sleep, we have Rest Delta-8, CBN, and CBD Capsules, which have a 50 mg serving.

But it is always important to remember that everyone's tolerance to THC is different. The serving size of THC that you need for sleep could be completely different from the next person. 

This is because the strength of THC's effects (and your tolerance level) depends on the product type, individual physiology, your personal experience with THC, and what other cannabinoids and terpenes the product contains. 

If this is your first experience with THC or your first time with one of our products, we always recommend starting with a small serving size before thinking about increasing. Remember that if you are experiencing chronic sleep issues or have a sleep disorder, consult your doctor. Our products are not intended to prevent, cure, or treat any disease.
