How can cannabis help to improve sleep?
It is thought that around 20% of the population may be affected by sleep conditions, with a third of people in the UK believed to experience chronic insomnia at some time in their lives. Sleep improvement is becoming one of the most commonly reported reasons for using cannabis and cannabinoid-based products – but what is the evidence that it works?
While sleep improvement may not also be the sole purpose for cannabis use, it is increasingly becoming a consideration for consumers. A survey of adults visiting cannabis dispensaries in the US found that 74% of participants reported using cannabis to improve sleep. Of this group, 84% also reported that using cannabis had helped them to reduce or discontinue their sleep medication.
