Cannabis may offer several advantages for sleep:
Faster sleep onset: THC can reduce sleep onset latency, helping users fall asleep more quickly.
Increased sleep duration: Some users report longer total sleep time when using cannabis.
Improved sleep quality: Cannabis may enhance slow-wave sleep and overall sleep satisfaction.
Reduced nightmares: THC can decrease REM sleep, potentially benefiting those with PTSD-related nightmares.
Comparison to Conventional Sleep Aids
Many users find cannabis more effective than traditional sleep medications:
In a 2022 study, 39% of participants stopped using their sleep medication after starting cannabis use, with 71% reporting improved sleep.
Cannabis users reported feeling more refreshed, focused, and better able to function the morning after use compared to conventional sleep aids.
Over 80% of survey participants no longer use sleep medications, preferring cannabis instead.
