If so, where do I start?","slug":"can-marijuana-help-me-to-sleep-better-if-so-where-do-i-start","content":"**\"I am so exhausted from not sleeping. I have tried a lot of different sleep aids and think I am ready to try marijuana. I don't know where to begin.\"**\n\nMark S.\n\n-------------------\n\nSleep, or the lack of it, is a big problem, in America, with many of us not getting the [seven to nine hours a night](https://hellomd.com/articles/dreaming-of-better-sleep-cannabis-may-help)   we need to stay healthy. Having enough shut-eye gives us energy, keeps us focused and productive, boosts the immune system so we can fight off infections, and provides many other health benefits.\n\nA lack of sleep can have the opposite effect, leaving us dispirited and depressed, and susceptible to a wide range of physical and mental health problems.\n\n![The Kiva Petra Mint is an exceptional microdose and helps many people sleep better at night!](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_17_at_1_07_29_PM_e99402fbcb.png)\nThe Kiva Petra Mint is a popular low dose mint.\n\nThe stats bear out the size of the sleeping issue. [Up to 70 million people](https://www.forbes.com/sites/ajherrington/2021/03/17/can-cannabis-help-you-get-a-good-nights-sleep/?sh=21ed65f1106b) in this country are affected by sleep disorders, spending $70 billion a year on sleep aids, 65% of which goes to medications. Also, 30 to 35% of us suffer temporary symptoms of insomnia at one time or other, with it being a chronic condition in 10% of people.\n\nThe sleep problem has been made worse by the [pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic](https://www.forbes.com/sites/ajherrington/2021/12/31/marijuana-is-replacing-alcohol-for-nearly-half-of-cannabis-consumers-during-the-pandemic/?sh=633f22891fb6). A huge number of adults are turning from alcohol to weed to get a better sleep, as well deal with other conditions, such as stress, anxiety, and depression. \n\nCannabis may be used to address a number of sleep disorders, ranging from insomnia and sleep apnea to night terrors and circadian rhythm disorders. Anyone who has gone into slumber land or has experienced couchlock after consuming weed knows that the substance has a powerful potential for sleep.\n\nMarijuana works by triggering receptors in our endocannabinoid system (ECS), which help regulate hormones, immunity, pain, hunger, and (drum roll!) sleep. Weed cannabinoids that are known for inducing a good sleep include THC, CBD, and CBN. THC is known for its psychoactive effects and its ability to help with sleep. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound and may also work to make you sleep, though in some people it may spark wakefulness (it depends on how your body reacts to it).\n\n![Wana Brands gummies are a popular edible and can be used as a sleep aid.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_17_at_1_08_56_PM_6440bb1268.png)\nEdibles, like Wana Brand gummies, are often used as sleep aids.\n\nCBN is often associated with THC products that have aged over time, and may also serve as a sleep aid, though more research is required to prove this.\n\nTerpenes found in cannabis may also contribute to better sleep, including beta-myrcene and limonene, which have calming effects, beta-caryophyllene for stress-reducing effects, and linalool for sedative and pain-relieving properties.\n\nSchererDelight\n\n---------------\n\nFinding out what works best for you may require some experimentation. You may want to try cannabis products with different levels of CBD, THC, or CBN. If you are just starting out, going low and slow is a good way to proceed.\n\nWith THC particularly it might be a good idea to start with a low dosage, 2mg for example, and go up from there, if you need it, to 10mg or even higher. Also try different brands and consumption methods, including smoking, vaping, edibles, gel caps, and others. Some cannabis brands specialize in sleep disorders, so seek these out.\n\nPManza\n\n--------------------------\n![Jetty Extracts has a variety of solventless products with live rosin.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_17_at_1_11_38_PM_4ae9aa5b5c.png)\nJetty Extracts has a variety of solventless products with live rosin.\n\nThrough our YouTube channel and article archive, [HelloMD](https://hellomd.com/) has provided a lot of information about how medical marijuana can help with sleep and good products to try if you are new to the field. For example, in this article, we provide info about [three CBD products]( https://hellomd.com/articles/3-cbd-products-to-help-you-go-back-to-sleep) that may be able to help you doze off.\n\nAmong these is [Dream CBD Mints](https://www.mrmoxeys.com/products/5mg-cbd-peppermints-dream) produced by Mr. Moxey’s Mints. Vegan and gluten free, the delicious mints are also enriched with sleep-inducing passion flower, valerian root and other ingredients, adding to the sedative effects of the CBD. Dissolve one of these mints under your tongue for best results. \n\nAlso check out our [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bm-0O1mvth4) on CBD products to help you sleep. They include [Pure Ratios Hemp Extract Topical Salve](https://botanicam.com/product/pure-ratios-hemp-extract-topical-salve/), which when applied to a hurting part of the body can ease aches and pains so you can doze off. Each 25ml canister of the hemp-extract product contains 150mg of CBD.\n\nHappy dreams!\n\nPaula D.\n\n\n\n","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.5037593984962405,"src":"/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/14b42/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg","srcSet":"/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/f836f/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 200w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/2244e/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 400w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/14b42/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 800w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/47498/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 1200w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/0e329/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 1600w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/25261/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.jpg 7322w","srcWebp":"/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/58556/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/61e93/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 200w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/1f5c5/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 400w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/58556/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 800w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/99238/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 1200w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/7c22d/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 1600w,\n/static/2c6a86d2dbef98dd06895edb62ef67bd/68380/2bcffccb44112911590f6b3d114f3d4d.webp 7322w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11796-markdown","title":"were can you get good CBN both paste and liq ","slug":"were-can-you-get-good-cbn-both-paste-and-liq","content":"","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9025-markdown","title":"Suffering from insomnia.

Have you tried more than 10mg of the Indica edible? I would suggest trying a High THC indica tincture, you can start with a low dose and increase until you get the desired result, you might need more than 10 mg. Some people are very sensitive to THC and only need 2-3mg while others might need 15mg...everyone is different so there is no one size fits all.
