Cannabis for Insomnia & Sleep
A 2025 clinical trial proved that CBD combined with specific terpenes (linalool, myrcene, caryophyllene) significantly improves sleep in insomnia patients. The key is the terpene profile — indica strains high in myrcene (>0.5%) are the strongest predictors of sedative effects.

The Science
Myrcene above 0.5% is the most predictive terpene for sedation. Linalool increases adenosine (sleep neurotransmitter) and modulates GABA. Terpinolene is a CNS sedative in isolation.
