TL;DR | Quick Summary
Sleep
What it is
Sleep is not about “shutting down”, but about resetting. Cannabis may be associated with falling asleep more easily, longer deep sleep, and reduced physical and mental tension that can interfere with recovery.
The experience varies depending on profile, timing, and context. The goal is not to “knock yourself out”, but to transition into sleep gently.

After:
