If you’ve ever laid in bed, wide awake, with your brain doing laps—you’re not alone.
More than 1 in 3 adults struggle with sleep, and many are prescribed sleep aids that knock them out but leave them groggy, dependent, or worse the next day.
That’s why in 2025, more people than ever are turning to cannabis as a natural sleep aid—and finally getting the rest they deserve.
At The Memo, we grow cannabis that helps you slow down, let go, and sleep better, not just longer.
The Downside of Prescription Sleep Medications
We’re not here to shame pharmaceuticals—some people need them. But it’s also no secret that many sleep meds come with side effects like:
- Daytime drowsiness or mental fog
- Risk of dependence
- Disrupted sleep cycles (especially REM)
- Mood changes or rebound insomnia
Over time, that “fix” can actually make things worse.
Why Cannabis Can Be a Gentler Solution
Cannabis works differently. With the right strain, dose, and timing, it can help your body transition naturally into a restful state—without forcing sedation.
Here’s how cannabis supports better sleep:
- Reduces racing thoughts and anxiety before bed
- Relaxes muscles and tension in the body
- Supports REM sleep (especially when using strains high in myrcene or linalool)
- Lets you wake up feeling refreshed, not drugged
Best Types of Cannabis for Sleep
Not all strains are created equal. At The Memo, we recommend:
Indica or Indica-Leaning Hybrids
Strains with relaxing, full-body effects help signal to your brain that it’s time to unwind.
Strains High in Myrcene, Linalool, or CBN
These terpenes and cannabinoids are linked to sleep support and anti-anxiety effects.

How to Use Cannabis for Sleep (Without Overdoing It)
- Start low. Go slow. You don’t need to overconsume.
- Try an hour before bed, paired with a low-stimulation activity.
- Avoid high-THC sativas before sleep—they can increase mental activity.
- Consider non-smokable options (edibles, tinctures) if smoke disrupts your routine.
