CBD for Sleep

Share if you care

Lack of sleep is becoming an epidemic, and CBD is one of the most popular natural sleep aids available. With a year (and counting) of lockdowns, anxiety, economic woes, and more weighing on us, it’s no surprise that sleep is one of our biggest concerns.  

Sleep is crucial to keeping us healthy, recharging our bodies and brains, allowing our muscles time to recover from strain, and helping us regulate our weight, moods, and more. Many turn to CBD for sleep support, especially when they hear a friend’s success story.  

But there are still many unanswered questions. Can CBD help us get our sleep patterns back on track? What are the best CBD sleep products on the market? How do you know whether you’re getting enough sleep? How can you fight insomnia?

Let’s take a look at what CBD is, how CBD works, and how CBD might help you with sleeping.

What Is CBD?

is short for cannabidiol. Okay, what’s that? Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid, which is a molecular compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD is not psychoactive, so it doesn’t get you “high.” 

Instead, CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which interacts with a series of chemical receptors that are closely interconnected with our central and peripheral nervous systems and other major systems throughout the body. These systems are responsible for several of the body’s most crucial functions, including (you guessed it) sleep.

When CBD interacts with receptors in the endocannabinoid system, it imparts a wealth of therapeutic benefits. CBD fans all over the world swear by it for its calming, wellness-boosting effects.

Cannabis for Sleep?

CBD sleep products we’ll be discussing today are derived from a low-THC form of cannabis called hemp. And the form of hemp-derived CBD oil in these products is called broad spectrum CBD, the most robust CBD oil available in the UK (with true full-spectrum CBD oil being above the legal THC limit in the UK of 0.2%). Broad spectrum CBD oil retains most of the healthful cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids of the hemp plant (with THC filtered out). As noted, you cannot get high using CBD products derived from hemp. But, as you’ll see, you can get a good night’s sleep!

How Can CBD Help Me Sleep?

As mentioned, one of the functions that the endocannabinoid system helps to regulate is sleep. In addition to interacting with receptors that affect our circadian rhythms, CBD might also address sleep-inhibiting anxious feelings and discomfort. 

In addition to being relied upon by millions of people to help them chill, the best CBD sleep products combine the restful power of CBD with other beloved natural sleep ingredients, like chamomile, magnesium, and passion flower. 

CBD for Insomnia and Other Sleep Disorders

insomnia and CBD, we can say that many people look to CBD when they’re seeking a good night’s sleep.

By proactively winding down at night and practising healthy bedtime habits, you can get a leg up on your sleeplessness while using CBD supplements for insomnia.

CBD Sleep | Strategies to Beat Insomnia

There are some very simple hacks to help you get ready for a good night’s sleep in combination with a CBD sleep product. Try some of these tonight:

  1. Put down your phone. The blue light from our phone and computer screens wreaks havoc on our sleep patterns. Try putting it down at least an hour before you want to crash.
  2. Get exercise, just not before bed. A healthy body and good exercise regime make fighting insomnia much, much easier. However, don’t work out too close to bedtime. Your body gets warmed up and your endorphin levels peak, making sleeping difficult. Don’t work out within four hours of bedtime.
  3. Keep your bedroom dark and cool. Research shows a temperature between 15 and 19 degrees Celsius is the ideal window for a peaceful sleep. 
  4. Try a CBD sleep aid. Hey, that’s why you’re here, right? We’ll talk about specific CBD products for sleep below. Using a sleep product with CBD, chamomile, passion flower, and other natural sleep aids can help you catch ZZZs all the way to morning.

CBD for Sleep Apnea

Like we mentioned above with CBD for insomnia, we can’t make medical claims regarding CBD for sleep apnea. Still, we wouldn’t put so much work into making sure we create pure, high-quality CBD products if we didn’t care about your safety. 

Please consult with your physician before trying any new supplement, especially if you suffer from sleep apnea. CBD for sleep apnea is a topic of a lot of scientific research that is underway, but your doctor knows best. 

CBD for Jet Lag

CBD Gummies with Chamomile and Passion Flower became a common go-to sleeping product for people on the go. Many a bedraggled traveler looks to CBD for those international flights and afterward when trying to settle into a new time zone.  

What Are the Best Gummies for Sleep?

Our CBD Gummies with Chamomile and Passion Flower have 50 mg of CBD in every serving, giving you soothing bedtime vibes that encourage the best kind of sleep — deep sleep! In addition, we added magnesium, chamomile, and passion flower for when you need to crash quickly, without staring at the ceiling for hours. 

What Is the Best CBD Hemp Oil for Sleep?

CBD Hemp Oil Tincture is an extremely popular sleep product to add to the bedtime routine. This natural cannabis hemp oil is available in three strengths: 500 mg regular strength, 1000 mg extra strength, and 1500 mg maximum strength.

CBD tincture oil products are a long-standing favourite in the CBD community because they possess incredible versatility. It’s also a great starter product for those looking to get acquainted with the effects of CBD (including the effects on sleeping!).

Better Sleep for Better Living

We don’t sleep enough. Whether it’s jet lag, anxiety, work stress, or the fallout of doom scrolling, we sleep too little and worry too much. From weight gain to crankiness to depressed immune systems, this lack of sleep is taking a toll on many of us.

When our circadian rhythms suffer, we’re left feeling cranky, anxious, and exhausted. By establishing healthy nighttime routines like avoiding screens, calming our minds, listening to white noise, and avoiding heavy food or exercise too close to bed, we can get a head-start on better sleep — and better health!

There’s a wide range of CBD sleep products available to meet every need and taste. Whether you’re battling insomnia, stress, or simply trying to calm your mind in the evening, CBD combined with healthy habits can be the door to a better night’s sleep — every night.
