If you’ve ever turned to cannabis to help unwind at night, you’re not alone. As sleep issues become more common, many are exploring cannabis for sleep as a natural alternative to over-the-counter remedies.
In this guide, County Road Cannabis breaks down how cannabis supports better rest, which products to try in 2025, and how to build a healthy nighttime routine with confidence.
How Cannabis Helps You Sleep
Cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which plays a key role in regulating sleep, mood, and circadian rhythms. Depending on the strain and format, cannabis may help by:
-
Shortening the time it takes to fall asleep
-
Improving sleep depth and duration
-
Reducing nighttime anxiety or racing thoughts
-
Easing physical discomfort that disrupts rest
THC is known to shorten REM cycles (helpful for PTSD or nightmares), while CBD can promote calm without intoxication.

-
Granddaddy Purple – Deep relaxation and body calm
