The 10 Best types of weed for sleeping
Meet the best weed strains for sleeping. These are the strains that make snoozing a piece of cake.
Dutch Passion Auto Mimosa Punch
300 grams per square meter, 16-20% THC, 3% CBG and rich in terpenes.
This autoflower from Dutch Passion is extremely high in terpenes such as beta-pinene, terpinolene and beta-myrcene. Together this cocktail creates a powerful knock-out effect that makes falling asleep easy. She likes plenty of light and remains compact at up to 90 centimeters when grown indoors. Please note that Auto Mimosa Punch has a strong smell.
Paradise Seeds Durga Mata II CBD
600 grams per plant, 8-12% CBD, 5-9% THC and relaxing stoned.
Looking for a CBD-rich weed that still contains a respectable amount of THC? Then this green nightcap from Paradise Seeds is a showstopper. If you grow Durga Mata II CBD outdoors, she can yield up to 600 grams per plant. She's also highly resistant to pests and therefore easier to grow than other plants.
Dutch Headshop Seeds Auto Wedding Cake
500 grams per square meter, 25% THC, 2% CBD, smashing stoned and couch-lock.
Auto Wedding Cake has, especially for an autoflower, a ridiculously high THC percentage. Especially the more experienced blower will appreciate this autoflower because your body relaxes deliciously. But for inexperienced smokers it can trigger divergent thoughts, which invites to engage in philosophical reflection with others or to seek out wild dreams. Especially in the second half of the night. Read more about sleep and weed at the end of this list.
Dutch Headshop Seeds Granddaddy Purple
500 grams per plant, 20% THC, 1% CBD, relaxed and happy stoned before going to sleep.
Our Granddaddy Purps has Afghani and skunk roots, so you can't help but feel relaxed and stoned. This fresh and sweet weed is the perfect ending to a pleasant evening or to make a chill stoner movie even more fun. She will make you relax, especially after the euphoric peak of the high.
Barney’s Farm Dos Si Dos 33
1000 grams per plant, 28% THC, 0.5% CBD and super strong!
Beware of Dos Si Dos 33 from Barney's Farm, because both timing and dose make or break the ability to sleep on this weed. This is because the effect of this potent indica-dominant weed begins with a typical sativa effect. But that mental high is closely followed by a relaxing body stone. When making THC oil from this weed, timing of ingestion is even more important. It takes about an hour for the effect to kick in and at least 3 hours before you start to get a little stoned and feel more like sleeping than partying. But once the body stone sets in, it hits hard too. Make sure you are within crawling distance of your bed when that happens.
Amsterdam Genetics Spicebomb
600 grams per plant, 21% THC, 1,2% CBG, fun, relaxing and not to be ignored.
From the garden of Amsterdam Genetics comes powerful smelling kush that could easily be a meal in a Michelin starred restaurant. Take it from us that this sophisticated weed is excellent for getting ready for bed. However, we do recommend that you do not smoke Spicebomb 5 minutes before bedtime. Make sure you have an hour between that last hit and sleep to let the relaxing and painkilling effects do their job.
Royal Queen Seeds Purple Queen
700 grams per plant, 22% THC, 1% CBD, couch-lock and strong stoned.
At the end of flowering, you can sometimes see beautiful purple buds emerging from Purple Queen. She will make you heart-stoppingly stoned which will make you sink well into the couch. Have a glass of wine and you'll get stoned sooner than you expect with this cross between kush and Afghani weed.
Green House Seed Company GH Cheese
800 grams per square meter, 18,5% THC, 0,6% CBD, long lasting and intense stoned.
The prize winner from this list. GH Cheese is a spicy cup winner from the '80s that leaves you stoned for a long time - the perfect base for a relaxing sleep. She is popular with medical users for her calming effects. For almost 40 years now.
Dutch Headshop Seeds Master Kush
700 grams per plant, 15-18% THC, 1% CBD, nice for the end of the evening.
Master Kush is a standout in our indica-dominant range with a strong social aspect at the beginning of the high, but once over the peak, you can expect a relaxing body stone. Then it's time to wind down and go to bed. Especially when you smoke above average amounts of this weed, before you know it, you will feel very sleepy.
Dutch Passion Glueberry O.G.
700 gram per plant, 18-20% THC, 1% CBD, couch-lock, ontspannen en relaxed stoned.
This creation from Dutch Passion contains about as much indica as sativa genetics. As a result, the effects are complex. The relaxing effects of an indica and psychoactive effects of the sativa will leave you feeling relaxed. Sometimes so much so that you're glued to the couch. Glueberry O.G. is a wonderful plant to dream away with.
Bonus: Dutch Headshop Seeds Auto Northern Light
200 grams per square meter, 17% THC, 1% CBD, fall asleep with a smile.
Our classic. One of the first autoflowering weed seeds in our collection was Auto Northern Light. And these quality cannabis seeds are still flying out of our warehouse. Maybe it's because the muscle relaxant properties prepare you for much easier sleep. Or is it the dreamy euphoria that you get into?
Indica weed strains
Although indica weed strains have the reputation of making you stoned and therefore physically relaxed, this is not 100% true. Today weed has been hybridized so much that even sativa-dominant plants can make you very sleepy. First of all, it's mostly down to the set and setting, or in other words how you feel and under what conditions you smoke or vaporize the weed. If you feel like partying, you can bet that any weed will make you feel even more like partying. But if you're already tired, a little weed will only make you sleepier.
Furthermore, it also helps to research which terpenes are in the weed. Where limonene makes you more active when combined with THC, myrcene will make you crave some sleep. That combination effect is also known as the entourage effect; something that is currently the subject of a lot of research.
Long story short: indica's have a reputation for making you stoned and therefore you can sleep well. But in practice it is better to rely on other people's experiences with weed varieties.
THC oil before sleeping
THC oil, or rather weed oil, is an extract of cannabis that you can make yourself at home. It then turns into an oil that you drip under your tongue just like CBD oil. The rise or onset of the sleep-inducing effect takes longer than when you smoke or vape it. The effect is therefore more comparable to space cake. Waiting two hours before you feel something is not uncommon. Often the high or stoned effect is more powerful than when smoking or vaping. THC oil for sleeping is a hit. Not only for that reason, but also because non-smokers find it much more pleasant to take a few drops of cannabis oil.
Difficulty sleeping without weed
Just be cautious that you don't get to a point where you can't sleep without weed. If that happens, it's hard to stop. You might say, "So what, if it benefits me?" Realize that weed fiddles with your sleep and wake rhythms. Research shows that you wake up more often at night, sleep lighter and spend less time in REM sleep, especially in the first half of the night. This is the period in which you create memories and have the most intense dreams. No wonder that long-term blowers become forgetful: sleeping with weed causes a shorter memory.
