Getting good sleep can feel impossible some days—and that’s where cannabis can help. From the calming effects of certain cannabinoids to the relaxing aromas of specific terpenes, using cannabis mindfully can pave the way to better rest. We've created a guide with what to look for—and which products at Air City Cannabis® might be perfect to add to your night time routine.

The Ingredients of Sleep: Cannabinoids & Terpenes

Cannabinoids That Promote Rest

• CBN (Cannabinol): Often referred to as the “sleep cannabinoid,” CBN is mildly psychoactive and praised for its relaxing, sedative effects.

• THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): While known for psychoactivity, low doses of THC can still help ease tension and calm the mind.

• 1:1 THC:CBN Blends: This balanced combo provides gentle effects—enough to promote sleepiness without overwhelming sedation.

Terpenes That Aid Sleep

• Linalool (lavender-like aroma): Renowned for its calming and anti-anxiety properties.

• Myrcene (earthy, musky scent): Common in indica-dominant strains; known for deeply relaxing effects.

• Caryophyllene (peppery spice): May help ease tension and enhance overall relaxation.

Nighttime Recommendations from Air City Cannabis

Here are trusted products we carry that pair cannabinoids and terpenes to help you wind down:

1. Ayrloom Blueberry Lavender "Pillow Talk" Gummies – 5 mg THC : 5 mg CBN (Per Gummy)

These fast-acting, vegan, gluten-free gummies blend relaxing cannabinoids with a soothing blueberry-lavender flavor and added melatonin—making them a dependable, sleep-inducing treat.

• Why it works: The balanced 1:1 THC to CBN ratio offers relaxation without overwhelming psychoactivity. The calming blend of lavender-inspired flavors and melatonin helps usher in restful sleep.

• How to use: Take one gummy about an hour before bed; wait before considering a second—better to ease into dreamland gradually.

2. Full-Spectrum Indica Flower (e.g., Granddaddy Purple or similar)

Look for strains rich in myrcene and linalool—often found in indica-dominant cultivars known for evening use. These terpenes complement THC’s calming properties for tranquil, restorative rest. (Note: Product-specific details aren’t listed, but many indica strains in our flower section fit this profile.)

• Why it works: The natural terpene profile amplifies soothing effects, helping you unwind.

• How to use: Enjoy a single, moderate inhalation or a small pre-roll before sleep.

3. CBN Tincture (if available)

Ideal for those who prefer dosage control, tinctures with CBN—and possibly low-dose THC—can be applied sublingually to gently ease into rest.

• Why it works: Fast absorption and precise dosing make it a smart choice for calibration.

• How to use: Start with a low dose about 30 minutes before bed and adjust as needed.
