So, you’re sleeping poorly. • Maybe it’s menopause, maybe it’s your mattress or maybe it’s just the general state of the world. Whatever the reason, you’re not alone: a recent national survey by Sleep Country and market research firm Leger found more than half of respondents were getting less rest than they need. If you’re among the bleary-eyed, we want to help. We asked the experts for their best advice for better slumber and conducted some experiments of our own. Our goal? To put you to sleep.

CBN Could Help You Sleep Better • Cannabinol (a.k.a. CBN) products are gaining popularity at Canadian weed shops. While research remains scant, participants in a 2021 survey-based study reported a decrease in sleep problems after taking CBN for a week; a review of the available medical literature the same year, however, said the evidence was inconclusive. Anecdotal reports continue to build, though, and I personally have found it’s the only thing—other than pharmaceuticals—that makes a real difference for me. Here are some of my favourite CBN products.
