Medical Cannabis and Sleep

Sleep is essential for our health and well-being, but many people struggle to get enough quality rest at night. Insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety and stress are common factors that can interfere with our sleep patterns and may affect our mood, energy and productivity.

Recent research has shown that cannabis medicine may help improve sleep quality and support a more consistent sleep cycle. In Texas, medical cannabis is legal for over 150 conditions. Learn more and get a Texas medical cannabis prescription by clicking the link below.

What is Cannabinol?

Cannabinol (CBN) is a phytocannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. When ingested, it can interact with our endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors and molecules that regulate functions such as mood, pain, appetite and sleep. CBN may bind to some of the same receptors as THC, but with much lower affinity. This means that CBN may have some of the same effects as THC, but to a lesser degree. One of these effects is inducing sleepiness. When CBN and THC are combined, calming effects may be produced.

A 2024 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial found that participants taking CBN experienced fewer nighttime awakenings and reduced overall sleep disturbance without increased daytime fatigue (Bonn-Miller et al., 2024). For patients who have trouble sleeping due to medical conditions that qualify for the Compassionate Use Program, Texas Original’s Sweet Dreams products combine CBN, CBD and THC in a 1:1:1 ratio, which may help relieve symptoms, including:

Insomnia
Night terrors
Muscle spasms
Restlessness

Sweet Dreams Gummies

Sweet Dreams Tincture

Is CBN Legal in Texas?

Yes, CBN products that contain THC are legal in Texas through the Compassionate Use Program with a valid medical cannabis prescription. For those seeking nighttime relief, Texas Original offers Sweet Dreams Gummies in a 1:1:1 ratio, each containing 10 mg of CBN, CBD and THC. These fast-acting, pectin-based gummies are vegan, gluten-free, and free of artificial dyes and flavors.

For patients looking for a higher-potency option, the Sweet Dreams Tincture delivers balanced nighttime relief with smaller doses. With 900 mg each of CBN, CBD and THC per bottle, this 1:1:1 tincture is ideal for precise dosing and support for sleep-related issues.

What terpenes are in the Sweet Dreams formulations?

Texas Original Sweet Dreams gummies and tincture contain indica-derived terpenes like myrcene, limonene and beta-caryophyllene, which may further promote relaxation and restful sleep.

Does CBN make you sleepy?

CBN may help promote sleepiness, especially when combined with THC. While research is still evolving, many patients report that products containing CBN support deeper, more restful sleep. Formulations that include calming terpenes and balanced cannabinoids may further enhance these nighttime effects.

What is the difference between CBN and CBD for sleep?

CBN and CBD are both cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant, but they may support sleep in different ways. CBN may promote drowsiness and induce sedative-like effects. CBD is typically used to reduce anxiety, stress and discomfort (Wright et al., 2020). When combined with THC, these cannabinoids may work together to support overall sleep quality and nighttime relief.

Do I need a prescription for CBN in Texas?

Yes, a prescription is required in Texas for medical cannabis products containing CBN and THC. To get a prescription, patients can connect with a doctor through telemedicine from anywhere in the state. Many patients receive their prescriptions on the same day and can place an order online or by calling Texas Original at 512-614-0343.

Where can I find CBN in Texas?

CBN products with THC are available at licensed dispensaries in Texas for patients with a medical cannabis prescription. Texas Original offers Sweet Dreams formulations designed specifically for nighttime relief, including fast-acting gummies and a tincture.
