In our fast-paced world, getting a good night’s sleep can sometimes feel unattainable. We’ve all had the experience of being so tired that we doze off mid-conversation with friends or in a meeting at work. Beyond helping us stay awake, however, sleep plays an essential role in our overall well-being. It impacts everything from our mental clarity and mood to immune function and even heart health. With enough sleepless nights, serious issues can emerge over time, like a weakened immune system, reduced cognitive function, and depression.

Of course, there are steps you can take to help make your nights more restful, including limiting screen time near bedtime and avoiding alcohol and caffeine. And now, thanks to researchers, you can add cannabis to the list. Research suggests that certain cannabis strains rich in calming terpenes and micro-cannabinoids may promote restful sleep. Compounds like CBN, CBD, and specific Indica-dominant strains—especially when combined—have shown potential for their relaxing and sedative effects. The key lies in the unique blend of cannabinoids and terpenes, such as myrcene and linalool, which work together to support a smoother path to slumber.

In addition, if you struggle with restless leg syndrome on top of insomnia, research is emerging that inhaling cannabis can help alleviate certain symptoms and improve the quality of your sleep (https://rlsfoundation.blogspot.com/2023/06/should-cannabis-be-considered-rls.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com). And a recent study (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9067069/), found that cannabis strains with higher levels of THC can also reduce your amount of REM sleep. That’s good news for those who suffer from PTSD-and the associated nightmares- as less REM sleep translates into fewer dreams.

Whatever the reason you’re up at night, Canopy Crossroad carries an extensive selection of cannabis products to help with sleep, offering several consumption options in addition to inhalation. Some of these include edibles like” gummies” such as: GRON TART CHERRY PEARLS | 10:1 CBN: THC 25MG,  ZZZONKED GUMMIES 20PC/100MG, WYLD BOYSENBERRY | 1:1:1 CBN:CBD:THC GUMMIES 10PK, and delicious gourmet chocolate in Jersey Canna’sCANNACUBES | WIND-DOWN DARK CHOCOLATE | 10PC/50MG or CHEEBA CHEWS SLEEPY CHOCOLATE | CHEEBA CHEWS 20PK.  We also carry tinctures, creams and transdermal consumption options for a variety of effects including pain relief.

As always, follow the golden rule of starting low and slow. Or you can call our Canna Coaches. They’ll be happy to curate the ideal strain for getting cozy and maintain that elusive balance between chill and drowsy.

Sweet dreams.
