Cannabis and sleep: the do’s, don’ts and dream foods


People have been using cannabis to help them sleep for millennia (yes, really). But anyone who has ever smoked an energizing sativa strain or woken up groggy after a night of THC-induced sleep knows that cannabis is not a infallible sleep aid.

This is because its effects cannot be measured by THC content alone. Cannabis is a complex plant containing hundreds of cannabinoids, terpenes and other chemical compounds that can all combine in multiple ways to deliver unique and not always predictable experiences.

This is where Wana Brands comes in. Arkansas’ most innovative edibles company set out to create a cannabis-powered sleep aid that would produce the same perfectly calibrated effects every time and do it in less than 15 minutes. The result?

New Wana Optimals Gummies for Fast Sleep.

A well-balanced rest

With Fast Asleep Gummies, Wana has taken a holistic approach to sleep, harnessing a combination of rare cannabinoids and other plant compounds to help you get a restful, hangover-free rest the next day. Here are the key ingredients.

2 mg of THC
There is plenty of evidence that THC can make you sleepy and increase the amount of time you actually spend sleeping. But too much can actually inhibit REM sleep, which can leave you tired even after a full night’s rest. For this reason, each Fast Asleep Gummie contains only 2 mg of this powerful cannabinoid, enough to weigh down your eyelids, but not enough to disrupt your body’s circadian rhythm.

10 mg of CBD
CBD forms the calming base of Wanas’ sleep formula. Medium and high doses of this non-intoxicating cannabinoid have been shown to reduce stress and promote sedation. Just as importantly, by stimulating different receptors in your brain and body, CBD can offset the potentially deleterious effects of THC on REM sleep.

2 mg of CBD
The rare cannabinoid CBN (cannabinol) is often called a sleepy cannabinoid. Truth be told, there isn’t enough research to determine whether this name is actually deserved. But even if CBN doesn’t make you sleepy, there’s compelling evidence that it can relieve stress and physical discomfort like muscle stiffness and even inflammation. In other words, CBN can help alleviate two of the main causes of insomnia: anxiety and pain.

2 mg of CBG
CBG (cannabigerol) is another rare cannabinoid. Science has only scratched the surface of its potential benefits, but, like CBN, it has been shown to have calming and comfort-enhancing effects. It can even increase levels of GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid) in your body, a neurotransmitter that promotes rest by slowing down communication between your nervous system and your brain.

More than 30 sleep-promoting terpenes
Terpenes are the chemical compounds that give plants (including cannabis) their unique smell, taste, and biological effects. Wana partnered with Abstrax, a leading terpene research company, and technology platform Budboard to conduct in-depth consumer research on the terpenes most associated with good sleep. Based on feedback from thousands of cannabis consumers, Wana created a proprietary blend containing over 30 specialized sleep-promoting terpenes.

1 mg of melatonin
Your body naturally produces the hormone melatonin to regulate sleep-wake cycles, but it is also sold as a mild over-the-counter sleep aid. However, most commercial melatonin supplements contain between 5 and 10 mg, a dose that can leave you short of breath the next morning. Studies suggest that just 1 mg of melatonin is ideal for improving quality sleep without a hangover, so that’s exactly what you’ll find in Fast Asleep Gummies.

Feel sleepy in 5 to 15 minutes

We’ve established that each ingredient in Wanas Fast Asleep Gummies has been carefully chosen and measured to promote an ideal night’s sleep. But perhaps the most revolutionary thing about these gummies is how quickly they work.

Like Wanas’ bestseller Quick candy, Fast Asleep Gummies are powered by Azucas Thermodynamic Individual Molecular Encapsulation (TiME). This technique encapsulates each cannabinoid molecule in a thin, water-soluble layer. Since your body is already 70% water, encapsulation acts as a sort of disguise that can trick your system into absorbing molecules more quickly.

In other words, while traditional sleeping pills take between 45 and 90 minutes to enter your system, Fast Asleep Gummies enter the bloodstream almost immediately, producing effects in just 5 to 15 minutes.

Because of this rapid onset time and because these gummies are formulated to promote gentle rest without residual drowsiness, you can even take them when you wake up in the middle of the night to help you fall asleep. back asleep!
