Anecdotes say cannabis helps you sleep. Here's what to try, what to avoid, and how to keep it working long-term.
Edibles usually beat smoking for sleep
Edibles metabolize into 11-hydroxy-THC, which lasts longer — often 6–8 hours. That's more useful for staying asleep than a joint that wears off in 90 minutes.
Look for these on the label
Myrcene-forward strains
CBN content (a cannabinoid associated with sedation)
Low-to-medium THC (5–10 mg for most people)
Avoid tolerance creep
Nightly use builds tolerance fast. Cycle: use it 4–5 nights, take 2 off. Or reserve it for the hard nights and stick to sleep hygiene the rest of the week.
