Cannabinoids and Catnaps: Sleep with THC, CBD, and CBN

THC and CBD. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD), will affect your sleep differently. It’s important to know that when shopping for sleeping aid cannabis products, you should look for high THC products with low CBD. 

This is because high amounts of CBD can induce very vivid dreams, thus interrupting the deep sleep you are trying to achieve with cannabis. Because the two work synergistically, a balanced amount, such as 4 parts THC to 1 part CBD, works most effectively when using cannabis for sleep.

CBN, or Cannabinol, is another cannabinoid that is widely popular for treating insomnia when combined with THC. In terms of psychological effects, CBN is like the middle child between CBD and THC–it has milder psychoactive properties than THC and slightly more than CBD.

CBN can be found in old 1-6-month-old cannabis. The older the cannabis, the more CBN it will contain, as oxygen interacts with the flowers and transforms the cannabinoid contents. So don’t throw out your old cannabis! Keep it in a cool, dry place, and enjoy before bedtime.

Terpenes and Twilight: How the Flavors of Cannabis Help You Fall Asleep

At Berkeley Patients Group we believe that anyone can take full control of their healing by understanding how different cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids work together to affect their mind and body.

Understanding these concepts can help you tailor your cannabis solutions to your own specific ailments, which will ultimately lead to a more therapeutic choice in treatment and overall healthier living.

Terpenes, responsible for the distinct flavors and aromas in cannabis, each have their own unique effects, some of which can aid in sleep.

Linalool, for example, has a soothing smell and is reminiscent of lavender. It has a relaxing effect and can help you to sleep better. Caryophyllene is also known for its ability to relieve stress, anxiety, pain, and insomnia because of its relaxing analgesic properties.

Perhaps most popular of all, Myrcene is known for its sedative effects and is the most commonly occurring terpene in cannabis. You’ll also find Myrcene in basil, thyme, lemongrass, and mangos. Certain sleep-inducing botanicals like hops and ylang-ylang contain high amounts of myrcene, and it’s thought to contribute to the “couch-lock” effect of Indica strains, making it a great choice for sleep.
