Weed for Sleep: What Studies Say, and Strains Described as Sleepy

What research and Health Canada say about cannabis and sleep, then the products whose shop describes the effect as sleepy or sedating. This is not medical advice: insomnia that lasts deserves a medical visit.

What studies and Health Canada say

  • A 2017 report of the U.S. National Academies found moderate evidence that cannabis-derived products, mainly nabiximols (a prescription mouth spray), improve short-term sleep in people whose sleep is disturbed by sleep apnea, fibromyalgia, chronic pain or multiple sclerosis.
  • A 2021 review in The BMJ found that, in people with chronic pain, non-inhaled medical cannabis brings a small to very small improvement in sleep quality compared with a placebo.
  • These results do not cover dried flower bought online, and no study we know of shows that one strain helps sleep more than another.
  • Health Canada: cannabis can cause drowsiness and slow reactions. Do not drive while you still feel the effects.

Questions buyers ask

Does cannabis help you sleep?

Studies show a modest short-term effect in some people whose sleep is disturbed by a medical condition, mostly with prescription products. For lasting insomnia, see a health professional.

Which products come up first this week?

This week: Full Spectrum CBD Plus for Rest 2000mg (CBD Magic), Full Spectrum CBD Plus for Rest 5000mg (CBD Magic), Full Spectrum CBD Oil Peppermint 1000mg (CBD2GO).

What do they cost?

From $4.99 to $1,300 at the lowest listed price, across 9 shops.

Are these effects guaranteed?

No. They are the shops' descriptions, not lab or clinical tests. Effects vary with the dose, your tolerance, the product and the setting. Start low, wait before taking more (edibles act more slowly than smoke), and do not drive after using cannabis.

How is this list made?

We read the effects each shop lists on its product page and the aisles it files the product under (for example « Sleep Aid »), and keep the products that match this need. Products filed by the shop under this need come first, then those matching more effect words, then those sold by more shops. Seeds, accessories and pet products are left out unless the page is about pets. No shop pays to appear here.
