Sedating strains used to combat insomnia and restless nights.
50 strains
Sleep isn't just about sedation — the best sleep strains quiet a racing mind first, then ease the body into rest. These strains are typically myrcene-heavy indicas or indica-dominant hybrids with moderate-to-high THC (18–25%) and often feature linalool or caryophyllene as supporting terpenes. The goal is deep, uninterrupted sleep without morning grogginess.
Myrcene (earthy, sedating at >0.5%), linalool (floral, calming), and caryophyllene (peppery, stress-relieving) are the sleep trifecta. Strains with all three tend to produce the most reliable sleep results.
Smoking or vaping 60–90 minutes before bed gives the peak to align with your wind-down routine. Edibles taken 90–120 minutes before bed produce longer-lasting effects through the night — start with 5mg THC equivalent. Avoid dabbing for sleep; the rapid tolerance build makes it unsustainable.
