It is on the pricier side, but I am very impressed with the formula that they have produced. \n\nStrains that I personally have tried for sleep would be: Master OG, Granddaddy Purple, Pennywise, Platinum Girl Scout cookies, and Royal Kush. I would say that Master OG made me feel the sleepiest the quickest and that Pennywise is worth noting as it is a CBD strain, adding an extra dimension of relaxation. If any of your sleeplessness is due to anxiety or racing thoughts, a CBD strain will go a long way to help you rest.\n\nEach strain may affect you differently, so you may want to experiment with a few heavy indicas to see which works best with your own chemistry.\n\nryan","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_9588-markdown","title":"I have tried sublingual drops and sprays but still haven't found the right one for sleep help.","slug":"i-have-tried-sublingual-drops-and-sprays-but-still-havent-found-the-right-one-for-sleep-help","content":"\"I am looking for a cost effective product that will put me to sleep and that keeps me asleep.

CBD has been indicated in some research to actually keep people awake, which seems counter intuitive as it is also a relaxant. THC seems to be the most effective cannabinoid for sleep for most people, although CBN does work for people as well but usually in conjunction with THC.\n\nThe nice thing with edibles is that you can eat it an hour before bed perhaps right after dinner and then brush your teeth and then get ready for a peaceful slumber. Edibles are metabolized by liver and also offer longer lasting effects. The typical edible will last for 4-6 hours depending on the dose.\n\nMy favorite edibles in California are Kiva terra bites, Satori chocolates and Auntie Dolores. Many people claim that 10mg is right for them, but I never go above 5mg. It is often an effort with trial and error to see what works for you and everyone is unique.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nAbsolute Extracts Sleepy Time Spray is an excellent product to try for some nighttime insomnia.

I'd like to try a marijuana product that will help calm me and get a good night's sleep, without feeling hungover in the morning.\"\n_____________________\nLow-dose THC can be a great way to get to sleep and stay asleep. Unlike eating large doses of THC before bed, which can induce anxiety, prevent onset of sleep or even reduce quality of sleep for some consumers, low-dose THC has been proved in clinical studies to reduce insomnia, specifically in patients with PTSD. What's a low dose of THC? We are looking at under 5mg of THC. \n\nOne great product I personally use to shut off my brain at night is Stillwater Tea, you can check it out at http://stillwater.life/tea. The Mellow Mint version, with just 2.5 mg of THC, from an Indica (aka sleepy) strain, it's the right dose to get you to sleep without interfering with sleep. Because tea is hot, the THC is absorbed quickly, and it knocks me out within 15 minutes. I wake up refreshed and not groggy.\n\ndrmicheleross\n_____________________\nCare By Design makes a great 1:1 soft gel that may help you get the rest you so desire.  Each soft gel is 10mg CBD + 10mg THC.  Because the soft gel is digested like an edible, be prepared to take it 1-2 hours before your bedtime in order to avoid any hangover effect.  Edible effects may last 8-10 hours.  The THC will help you drift off to sleep and the CBD will help you stay asleep.  This product works great for long lasting pain relief, as well sleep.

CBD to THC ratio. For example, once a week I suck on a 1/2 a candy that is 100 mg CBD/50 mg THC, with my dose for the night being 50mg CBD/25mg THC.\n\ndrmicheleross\n_____________________\nFor some patients, CBD can cause feelings of alertness, or inhibit sleep.  For others CBD does not have this effect.  This may be one of the reasons for the conflicting information you have come across.  In my own experience with patients, about 25% experience this \"alerting\" effect of CBD.  \r\n\r\nDuring our consumer testing for the Sleep formula in the hmbldt dose pen line we tried a variety of cannabinoid profiles and terpene blends to find the best Sleep solution we could.  In consumer testing the highest ratings of efficacy were for the 8:1 THC:CBD formula with a Myrcene-rich terpene blend, vaporizing1-3 doses of the formula.  As Dr. Ross notes in a previous answer smaller doses of THC, whether vaporized or ingested orally can be a good choice for people seeking the benefits of cannabis while avoiding some of the side effects.\n\nsamanthamiller","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7552-markdown","title":"Problem staying asleep, found a patch in CO that worked great.

That said, a patch will slowly release the compounds that are in it over a longer period of time and so the effect lasts longer.

I have allergies and have found that Green Dragon really opens up my nasal passages so that I can breath easier at night.   You can buy Absolute Xtracts vape cartridges and pens at www.octaviawellness.com.\n\nlauriel\n_____________________\nLook for products that have an indica or indica-dominant strain of cannabis and for products specifically labeled for sleep. \n\nThere are a wide variety of edibles, tinctures, and vape blends that are made for sleep and are formulated with strains of cannabis that work well for a lot of people. Everyone's chemistry is different, so you may have to try a few different sleep products to see what works well for you, but when you find the right thing it should help you fall asleep, keep you asleep for several hours, and allow you to wake up without grogginess. \n\nIf you generally have no issue staying asleep, but you have an issue at the early part of the night, you may want to try something fast acting that has more quickly passing effects, like smoking. An edible will generally keep you asleep longer as it takes longer to digest and move through your system, but can sometimes give s bit of grogginess in the morning. \n\nKeep a journal of what you tried, how much, and what happened to help you dial in the right solution for your body.\n\nandrea13","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7526-markdown","title":"I have chronic insomnia which leads to anxiety and depression.

Hybrids are a good place to start.\n\nAndrewvanmd\n_____________________\n\n![Cannabis flower can help some people sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_6_56_42_PM_69a74251ba.png)\n\nThere is no right strain or dosage unless we have more information.  Have you been treated for depression/ anxiety before?  If so, what medications have you tried or what therapies? (i.e. have you done talk/behavioral therapy?)  Have you been hospitalized before?   \n\nHaving worked with mental health patients through the pain field as well as knowing many loved ones suffering from mental illness, I think you are doing yourself a grave disservice if you don't at least get formally evaluated first and at least make a first try effort if prescription medication is strongly recommended; you can have a discussion w/ your psychiatrist about med can as a possibility but you have to be willing to listen to other ideas.  \n\n![Screen Shot 2021-11-30 at 6.01.46 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_30_at_6_01_46_PM_d039a0a7e8.png)\n\nAs for the side effects of psych meds and worries about them, I see plenty of patients through [HelloMD]](https://hellomd.com/ who are doing successfully integrating both psych meds  &/or psych therapy with disciplined cannabis use.  However, please please do NOT try to fix this on your own.  I have seen disastrous results both as a professional treating patients and personally when people I knew and cared about attempted to use only cannabis to solve mental health issues.  \n\nDr Park\n_____________________\n\n![Canndescent does not allow trichomes to be wasted ](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_10_at_4_34_56_PM_ff07e376ad.png)\n\nI've had a good deal of this and I find heavy Indica strains are the most beneficial for inducing sleep. I'll often mix these with a CBD strain if I am feeling particularly stressed out, though CBDs can make falling asleep more difficult in some circumstances. In my experiences, when I have taken high CBD strains at bedtime it has kept me awake, while if I have used them earlier in the day, I find at bedtime I am more relaxed and fall asleep easier when I do use an appropriate Indica strain.\n\nPersonally, I would stay away from Harlequin for sleep. I would use it for anxiety relief, but for bedtime I would gravitate to an Indica strain, adding maybe a small amount of a CBD strong edible or vaporized cannabis if I am feeling particularly anxious.\n\nRyan M.\n_____________________\n\n![Screen Shot 2021-11-30 at 6.11.09 PM.png](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_11_30_at_6_11_09_PM_3037597187.png)\n\nCannabis is a very safe plant and is useful for many conditions. It grows all over the world and many different varieties are available. I would start with a hybrid strain in small doses. You may also try a sublingual tincture with CBD and THC. Experiment with different strains and modes of ingestion and decide what works best for you.\n\nAndrewvanmd\n_____________________\n\n![Charlotte's Web is a hemp based CBD oil](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_02_08_PM_2a7e4dab82.png)\n\n[Charlotte's Web](https://www.charlottesweb.com/maximum-strength-hemp-extract-cbd-oil) is a hemp-based CBD oil\n\nCBD oil does very well for all of these things and has helped me personally.

For some, cannabis works beautifully and for others, it does not and yet others it takes a lot of trial and error.\n\nIt also depends on what you are able to tolerate. I can not tolerate high amounts of THC as it will put me to sleep but then wake me up. For some, CBD can actually make you relaxed yet stimulate the system. It really is an effort in trial and error for the right product and dosage.\n\nI really like [Kiva Terra Bites before bedtime](https://www.kivaconfections.com/). If I am sleeping they put me to sleep but if I am up then I feel happy and relaxed. I have also tried Absolute Extracts Sleepytime which works well for me although sometimes I may feel groggy the next day. I am a THC lightweight though!\n\nPaula T.\n_____________________\n\n![Vaping cannabis may help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_08_39_PM_7669193817.png)\n\n\nI am not a doctor, but I do run into insomnia and cannabis helps me to fall asleep. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I sometimes vaporize a small amount of cannabis oil in pen cartridge form and that helps me fall back asleep without feeling too groggy. Eating an edible late at night could make you feel drowsy and that's why I vaporize the cannabis since an edible will last much longer in your body.\n\nRyan H.\n\n_____________________\n\nI agree with the previous doctor who advised keeping in touch with a psychiatrist/mental health professional. Cannabis can help with the issues you describe but it's best when used as one tool, as opposed to the whole toolbox. In the same way there are different strains of cannabis for different issues, there are different medication classes and types of therapy. Sometimes people will have a lackluster initial experience with a mental health provider and then think none can help them, where it may be more of an issue of finding someone with a better personality mesh with you. \n\n![Wake up refreshed after consuming cannabis.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_19_05_PM_672aa3644e.png)\n\nThat being said, here are some things you can consider:\n\n1. Since insomnia seems to be your primary issue, it's possible that treating your insomnia adequately, even without using other treatments for anxiety/depression, will be enough to improve your mood.\n\n2. Indica strains tend to be more sedating, and therefore better for sleep. A sativa or hybrid may be too stimulating and may worsen anxiety. Strains with \"purple\" in the name tend to be good for sleep.\n\n3. Apart from the particular strain you use, you need to consider ONSET OF ACTION and DURATION OF ACTION. Ie, how long does it take the product to start working, and how long does it last? Smoking and vaping will start working the fastest (a few minutes) and will wear off the fastest (within a few hours). This is best if you have trouble falling asleep only, and are sensitive to morning sedation. Edibles will take the longest period of time to start working (an hour or more), and will last the longest (8+ hours), so you have to take these at least an hour before bed, if not more, and they will be in your system longer to help you stay asleep if you have frequent nighttime awakenings, but could still be in your system in the morning and cause morning sedation. If you smoke or vape and wake up in the middle of the night, you could smoke again and use this to get back to sleep, as long as you have at least 3 hours until you need to get up in the morning, and it should be out of your system.\n\n4. Is your sleep hygiene good? Do you keep your room cool and dark, avoid doing work in bed, turn off screens at least an hour before bed? Google \"sleep hygiene\" and make sure you are following these guidelines too.\n\n5. Are there other causes of your insomnia that you need to address? Stress, medical issues, other medications you use that could be contributing to the problem?\n\n6. Could you try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia? This is a particular type of therapy that helps with insomnia, that is time-limited (you do a dozen sessions, and then you're done). If you're motivated, you can do it on your own. Google \"CBT for insomnia.\"\n\n7. If you improve your sleep and you still have depression and anxiety, THEN you need to look into additional treatments besides marijuana, because marijuana does not address the underlying cause of these issues and is more of a short-term solution.\n\nDr. Miller\n_____________________\n\n![Indica strains are better for a good night's sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_14_23_PM_2f2ea5bcfb.png)\n\nI actually find in the interviews that a lot of patients are using Sativa during the day and then in the evening they change to Indica but I always caution patients to never follow Sativa with Indica because it will just bounce up the THC level and they won't be able to sleep because of the party going on in their head. It is wise after having Sativa to use CBD because CBD will combine with the high THC from Sativa and it will form Indica in your body and you will sleep well. \n\nAn exception to this might be when your mind is afraid that you will forget to do something the next day so I also encourage you to have a tablet and pencil next to the bed so you can scribble the thoughts in your head and your mine can relax because you put the thoughts on paper.\n\nYou can always keep a high CBD sublingual, nonalcoholic tincture in your refrigerator and if you find there is a party going on in your head, typically you can shut down the party with a couple sprays of CBD.\nIn addition please read Dr. Miller's suggestions.\n\nDr Olson\n_____________________\n\n![Terpenes in cannabis may help you sleep better.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_15_40_PM_f2377e2bc9.png)\n\nFinding a cannabis preparation to help them sleep is at the top of the medical cannabis list for many patients.   It is useful to remember that cannabis is rich in what are called “essential oils,” terpenoid compounds like orange oil and rose oil.  These are what give the plants their characteristic fragrance.  Essential oils have been known in folk medicine to have calming and sedative properties, and they are commonly found in teas and herbal remedies.  \n\nSome cannabis strains are rich in terpenes that particularly promote these sedative effects, and this may have much to do with how relaxing and sleep-promoting people find them.  As other answers have noted, Indica varieties have traditionally been thought of as particularly helpful for sleep.  Apart from the issue of terpenes, the CBD:THC balance is very important in avoiding the excitation associated with larger doses of THC taken without enough CBD.  \n\nFinding a cannabis variety with a rich terpene profile and relatively rich CBD content might be a useful way to look for a preparation to help sleep.   But because so many hybrid varieties have been developed to accent various cannabis properties, and because people can be so different in the way they respond to particular cannabis strains, patience and a bit of cautious experimentation is often required to find what is reliably helpful.\n\nDr Elkind\n____________________\n\nI have many members that have insomnia due to anxiety. Most have results from taking a combination of CBD and THC. Both CBD and THC are helpful with anxiety. An Indica strain of THC is very helpful with insomnia.  As long as you take a higher dose of CBD than THC, most people do not feel the \"high\" of the THC, but do get the medicinal effects. You do have to have patience to experiment to find what is right for you.\n\nPiantaTinta\n_____________________\n\nYou may still need to do a bit of personal experimenting, to identify the dosage and ratio that works best for you. CBD for many people may not alleviate insomnia but instead, increase alertness. \n\nThe tincture/juice sounds like a good next step, because there may have been other ingredients in the candy and chocolate that interfered with the delivery of the CBD/THC.  \n\n![Sugar can interrupt a good night's sleep.](https://hellomd-cms.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Screen_Shot_2021_12_26_at_7_17_49_PM_9c4fb54b4a.png)\n\nFor example, sugar reduces the effectiveness of THC.  And, for some people, eating sugar -- or other stimulating foods/drink --  late in the day/night, can significantly interfere with the quality of their sleep. Similar to drinking alcohol before bedtime -- consuming sugar can also be quite disruptive to a good night's sleep.  \n\nWhen researching which juice/tincture or edible may be best for you, look for ones that are made with 'whole plant compounds', and of a  cannabis variety that is indicated for relief from insomnia.  As a general rule of thumb, Indica strains are known for their 'power down',  calming, and sedative effects.  \n\n(On a related note: In our TGCC Indica edible we use whole plant compounds, and no cane sugar or other sweeteners that can spike blood sugar levels.  We also add a small amount of kava kava, known for its relaxing properties.  Many patients who have suffered from severe insomnia have reported that the TGCC Indica solved the problem for them.)\n\nMeg T.","image":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.4814814814814814,"src":"/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/ee604/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png","srcSet":"/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/69585/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png 200w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/497c6/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png 400w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/ee604/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png 800w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/f3583/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png 1200w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/35849/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.png 1332w","srcWebp":"/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/58556/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/61e93/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp 200w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/1f5c5/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp 400w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/58556/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp 800w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/99238/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp 1200w,\n/static/dd43d92507b5ca7291cbbdea89de2f25/bb0f6/7c04e88e37ad76a656a818cc619cfb22.webp 1332w","sizes":"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px"}}}}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7517-markdown","title":"What can I use for sleep without having to smoke?","slug":"what-can-i-use-for-sleep-without-having-to-smoke","content":"\n_____________________\nYou can use all sorts of things! Here are two that I have tried: \n\nSensei chew's insomnia edible. It's a tootsie roll based edible and it also has some melatonin in it as well to help you nod off. \n\nAbsolute Extracts/Care by Design makes an indica spray that is good for reducing the time it takes to fall asleep. You just spray it into your mouth, leaving the spray for a while to let it absorb, and the effects take place in 20-40 minutes.\n\nryan\n_____________________\nThere are a number of product types that work well for sleep without having to smoke. Primarily, I'd suggest experimenting with tinctures and edibles. \n\nSome tinctures are specifically formulated for sleep, using indica strains combined with other herbs that promote relaxation and sleep. Putting a tincture under your tongue (taking it sublingually) will make the effects come on faster than swallowing it and having it pass through your digestive system. \n\nEdibles are also great, but can take longer to take effect - sometimes 45 minutes to an hour - so you'll need to plan accordingly. Again, there are many formulated specifically for sleep, but you don't necessarily need a sleep specific one. A small amount goes a long way, so start with only 1-3 mg of THC and see how it goes.\n\namanda\n_____________________\nAlthough not considered a stimulant, sugar and refined carbohydrates can interfere with sleep. Eating a diet high in sugar and refined carbohydrate and eating irregularly can cause a reaction in the body that triggers the “fight or flight” part of the nervous system, causing wakefulness. This should come into consideration when choosing the right product for you, make sure to look at the ingredients. The products @MoonMan's Mistress our low glycemic and are made with ingredients that are made to nourish the body.\n\nlizrudner","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_7486-markdown","title":"How long of an inhalation should I take to help me sleep?","slug":"how-long-of-an-inhalation-should-i-take-to-help-me-sleep","content":"\"I've only ever smoke joints, but this looks way more efficient.

Vaporizing can be very good for falling asleep.
