Science Backs the Sleep Connection
A recent peer-reviewed study is shedding light on cannabis and sleep, suggesting that low doses of THC and CBD may help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
What Researchers Found
Participants using cannabis-based therapies reported:
-
Shorter time to fall asleep
-
Improved sleep duration
-
Fewer nighttime disturbances
These findings align with years of anecdotal evidence from patients who use cannabis for insomnia.
The Caveat: Dosing Matters
Researchers caution that more is not always better. While low to moderate doses showed promise, high THC consumption sometimes disrupted sleep cycles. Balanced products with both CBD and THC seemed most effective.
What’s Next?
As legalization expands, scientists now have more opportunities to study cannabis in controlled settings. With further research, cannabis could become a mainstream alternative to prescription sleep aids.
