CBD Versus THC For Sleep

For her personal regimen, Amanda, who lives a very active lifestyle, said she uses CBD to aid with muscle recovery and relaxation when she's winding down before bed as well as a micro-dose of a THC-based tincture to fall asleep. "If you're really activated from running around all day, it just takes things down a few notches and helps you start the evening process of winding down to set you up for a good night's sleep."

Other times, she'll use a 1:1 product that contains equal parts THC and CBD because she says in addition to CBD, the THC is really good at relaxing her muscles.

Brooks also uses CBD and THC products for sleep and said that a 3:1 tincture with a higher dose of CBD is her go-to every single night. "It's so hard for me to disconnect and slow down at the end of the day. I use CBD to quiet my overactive brain so I can ease into sleep. It's the best way to turn down the volume of my busy mind. While THC is great for lulling to sleep, it can also, for some people with very active brains, continue to have your brain active."
