In today’s fast-paced modern world, getting a good night’s sleep can feel like a luxury. Stress, screen time and daily responsibilities make it difficult to unwind, leaving many of us tossing and turning into the early hours.
March is National Sleep Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognizing the importance of quality sleep and finding solutions for those who struggle with rest. If you struggle to get enough sleep each night, you’re not alone. According to the CDC, more than a third of American adults (35%) don’t get the recommended seven hours of sleep per night.
Poor sleep can seriously affect everything from mood and concentration to immune function and overall health. While sleep aids and pharmaceuticals are common solutions, they often come with unwanted side effects. That’s why more people are seeking natural alternatives like cannabis, which has been shown to help people relax, fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper, more restorative rest.
Whether you’re struggling with occasional restlessness or chronic insomnia, our premium, zero-pesticide cannabis products grown in our coastal Santa Barbara greenhouses offer a clean and effective way to get the sleep you deserve.
The Science Behind Cannabis and Sleep
Cannabis contains cannabinoids like THC and CBD, which interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) to regulate sleep, mood, and relaxation. Research suggests that THC, in particular, can help reduce the time it takes to fall asleep while increasing deep sleep—the most restorative stage of the sleep cycle.
How Cannabis Affects Sleep
A study published in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology found that cannabis users with sleep disorders experienced improvements in sleep quality and duration, particularly when using strains higher in THC.
- Induces Relaxation: THC has sedative effects, helping calm the mind and body before bedtime.
- Reduces Nighttime Wakefulness: Studies show that cannabis can help reduce nighttime awakenings, leading to longer periods of uninterrupted sleep.
- Eases Stress and Anxiety: High-stress levels are one of the most common sleep disruptors. Cannabis can help quiet racing thoughts, making it easier to drift off.
- Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Chronic pain can make sleep difficult. Cannabis acts as a natural analgesic, providing relief and promoting relaxation.
But not all cannabis is created equal when it comes to sleep. Indica strains are particularly well-suited for nighttime use, offering full-body relaxation and sedation that promote deep, restorative rest.
Why Indica Strains Help with Sleep
Indica strains are known for their calming and sedative effects, making them the preferred choice for those seeking better sleep. The reason? Terpenes like myrcene and linalool, which contribute to relaxation, muscle tension relief, and stress reduction. Our award-winning Purple Push Pop is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a nighttime strain to help you unwind.
