More people appear to be turning to cannabis as an alternative sleep aid, according to a new 2023 study published in the journal Exploration of Medicine.1Is Cannabis More Effective Than Other Sleep Aids?
I am also not a great sleeper, and often find myself wanting to doze off during the day because I never seem to get more than six hours at night. I prefer not to take anything, as so many have said that it is easy to get addicted, but sometimes I do drink chamomile tea before bed which does help one to relax. But there again, I don’t do it every night.
I fall asleep easily most nights, but I always wake up from about 2 am which is so annoying as once awake I can’t go to sleep again.

Hi there! Thank you for shining some light into this topic. The whole cannabis-sleep connection is pretty eye-opening, right? I mean, who would’ve thought it could be a game-changer for so many folks struggling with sleep issues? The study’s dive into how people actually feel after using cannabis for sleep, comparing it to the usual over-the-counter and prescription stuff, is both surprising and kinda cool – been there, done that!
I’m curious, though, about the trade-offs. The fact that cannabis users feel more focused and relaxed the next morning but might deal with anxiety or irritability is a bit of a puzzle. It’s like you’re trading one set of sleep problems for another. I already have anxiety and depression. I don’t want a double dose of the same illness. That’s basically my only concern for now.

Hi! Thanks for your post. To be honest, I used to smoke a lot of cannabis before. I couldn’t go to sleep without smoking, but then I decided to change it. I couldn’t sleep two nights and the third night I slept very well. I didn’t know that time abount CBD, only THC was known to me. Today we know that there is medical cannabis without THC and it helps people to defeat many diseases.
