Creating a consistent and relaxing evening routine is a goal for many of us. As life gets busier, setting aside time to de-stress and prepare for a restful night becomes more important than ever. Here at Canna Bar, we've noticed a strong trend: many of our customers are exploring cannabis products as part of their nighttime wind-down rituals.
In response to this customer interest, we've curated one of the most extensive selections of products that brands have formulated with evening use in mind. This guide will walk you through some of the most popular choices and the factual science behind their key ingredients, so you can make an informed decision.
Understanding the Key Ingredients: THC, CBN, and CBD
Before diving into products, it's helpful to understand the main cannabinoids that are the focus of these evening-oriented formulations.
🌿 THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. Research shows that THC can reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and may increase deep sleep stages, though it can reduce REM sleep duration. Indica strains, which typically contain higher levels of sedating terpenes like myrcene, are traditionally preferred for nighttime use.
Key Sleep Benefits:
- Reduces sleep onset time (time to fall asleep)
- May increase deep sleep stages (Stage 3 & 4)
- Can help with pain-related sleep disruption
- Indica strains provide more sedating effects
What the Science Says:
Clinical studies suggest THC doses of 2.5-15mg can improve sleep onset, with lower doses being more effective for maintaining sleep quality throughout the night.
😴 CBN (Cannabinol)
CBN forms naturally as THC ages and oxidizes. Often called "the sleepy cannabinoid," CBN is mildly psychoactive and shows promising sedative properties. Research indicates CBN may be more effective for sleep when combined with THC (entourage effect) rather than used in isolation. Most sleep-focused cannabis products now feature CBN as a key ingredient.
Key Sleep Benefits:
- Strong sedative effects, especially with THC
- May help with staying asleep longer
- Less psychoactive than THC alone
- Popular in 1:1 and 2:1 CBN:THC ratios
What the Science Says:
Studies suggest CBN's sedative effects are most pronounced when combined with other cannabinoids. Effective doses typically range from 2.5-10mg, with many users reporting optimal results at 5mg CBN combined with 2.5-5mg THC.
🧘 CBD (Cannabidiol)
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that works primarily through anxiety reduction and stress relief to improve sleep quality. Research shows CBD can help regulate cortisol levels and reduce racing thoughts that interfere with sleep. Unlike THC, CBD doesn't directly cause drowsiness but creates optimal conditions for natural sleep by addressing underlying anxiety and pain.
Key Sleep Benefits:
- Reduces anxiety and racing thoughts
- Helps regulate stress hormone (cortisol) levels
- May improve REM sleep quality
- Works well in combination with THC and CBN
What the Science Says:
Clinical trials indicate CBD doses of 25-175mg can significantly improve sleep scores, with 25mg being effective for anxiety-related sleep issues and higher doses (75-160mg) showing benefits for deeper sleep disorders.
Many brands now create products that feature these cannabinoids in specific ratios, leveraging the "entourage effect"—the theory that these compounds work better together.
