In a January 17, 2025, press release (1), cannabis edibles brand incredibles, from cannabis company Green Thumb, announced results from an online survey on cannabis consumption and sleep habits. The survey was conducted by global marketing and research firm The Harris Poll (2) from June 6 – 10, 2024 with 2019 participants total. All respondents in the survey were 21 years old or older.
Participants were asked four questions:
- Which of the following keeps you up at night? Please select all that apply.
- Which of the following, if any, do you consume to help you sleep? Please select all that apply.
- How much do you agree or disagree with the following statement? I wish I slept better.
- Which of the following are reasons why you consume cannabis-infused edibles? Please select all that apply.
The results were weighted to the general US population. Other information, such as gender, demographics, region, and income, were also included.
Notable results highlighted include:
- 79% of respondents reported that they are kept awake at night by something (possible options included “financial worries,” “family concerns,” “insomnia,” etc)
- 26% of respondents stated they consumed vitamins/supplements to help them sleep, 19% stated they used over-the-counter sleep aids, 16% said they used cannabis, 12% said they used prescription sleep aids, and 10% said they used CBD-only or CBD+melatonin products
