Deep Sleep

Deep Sleep: An Indica Built for the Night

Deep Sleep (also known as PO #4) is a 70% indica / 30% sativa cultivar whose name states its purpose. It is known for heavy relaxation, a gentle euphoric glow, and a pull toward bedtime. It is uncommon on shelves, so finding it is part of the appeal.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

Most sources describe Deep Sleep as a cross of Larry OG and Pre-98 Bubba Kush, bred by Progressive Options. Both parents are known for body-heavy, evening-leaning profiles, which fits the strain's reputation. A couple of lower-credibility sources list different parents (Afghani x Romulan, or Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani). The Larry OG x Pre-98 Bubba Kush lineage has by far the strongest agreement.

Potency & Chemistry

• THC: reported anywhere from about 10% to 26%, so batches vary widely
• CBD: minimal, 0–1%
• Chemovar: Type I (THC-dominant)

Because the range is so wide, check the label on your specific batch before deciding on a dose.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

Terpene data for this strain is largely anecdotal, with no reliable percentages. Myrcene is the most consistently reported lead terpene. The others that show up across sources are:

• Myrcene: earthy and musky, and commonly associated with body-heavy relaxation
• Caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, and the one terpene known to act on CB2 receptors
• Linalool: floral and calming, often linked to sleep-friendly profiles
• Pinene: piney and crisp
• Limonene: bright and mood-lifting
• Humulene and terpinolene: less consistently reported

The aroma blends earthy, pine, sweet, and diesel notes, with grape, berry, and woody or herbal touches, and a pungent edge.

👅 Flavor Experience

Expect a sweet, earthy first impression, often with grape or berry tones. Pine, diesel, and a sour or pungent finish tend to round out the exhale. These flavors mirror the Larry OG and Bubba Kush side of the family tree.

🎯 Effects & Experience

Reported effects are consistent across sources:

• Sleepy: the defining effect and the reason for the name
• Relaxed: a full-body unwinding
• Euphoric and happy: a pleasant mood lift before drowsiness settles in
• Uplifted and tingly: lighter touches reported by some users
• Hungry: appetite often picks up

The arc is usually a mood-brightening onset followed by deepening body relaxation and drowsiness. Lower doses may leave you calm and cozy, while larger ones lean toward full sedation.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

• Sleep & Bedtime: the primary use case
• Evening Wind-Down: a good fit for decompressing after a long day
• Watching TV & Movies: easy couch-time companion
• Baths & Showers: pairs well with a slow, relaxing routine
• Eating: the munchies are commonly reported

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

People commonly report using Deep Sleep for the following. This is not medical advice, and research on individual strains is limited:

• Insomnia and sleep difficulty: the most frequently cited reason
• Chronic pain and muscle tension: may help with physical discomfort and spasms
• Stress and anxiety: the calming effects may help ease tension
• Low mood: the euphoric, happy effects may offer a lift
• Low appetite: may help stimulate hunger

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

Deep Sleep suits people looking for an evening or bedtime option. Commonly reported side effects include:

• Dry mouth
• Dry eyes
• Dizziness
• Anxiety or paranoia, less commonly, especially at high doses

Newer consumers should start low, since potency can reach the mid-20s in THC.
