Humans are unable to function at peak emotional, physical, and mental levels with a lack of a good night’s sleep. Insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and other ailments, can cause the person to seek over the counter prescription pharmaceuticals for relief. Consequently, options like cannabis are being explored for natural sleep aid.

A sizable uptick was prompted by the insurgence of CBD, in the number of preclinical and clinical studies that were focusing on CBD’s value in the treatment of a whole host of disorders. However, studies focusing on CBD and sleep specifically are limited.

Although THC has shown to have a sedative effect and reduces the time needed to fall asleep, the harmonized interaction between cannabis compounds might carry over to sleep.
