Well, CBD is a compound found in cannabis plants (predominantly in Hemp plants) that has gained enormous popularity in recent years due to its potential health benefits.f
One of the most popular uses of CBD is for its potential to help people struggling with sleep (or lack thereof). If this is an issue you or someone you know, struggle with, this post is definitely for you as we’ll discuss the benefits of CBD for sleep and how it can help you get a better night’s rest.
First and foremost, CBD is a neuroprotective substance that many studies have shown to help reduce stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system. When the body and mind are in a calm/relaxed state you'll find it much easier to drift off. Basically, less stress/anxiety = better sleep.
CBD can also help regulate your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Studies have found that CBD can help regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, which plays a significant role in regulating when we sleep and wake up, helping to reduce insomnia symptoms, such as difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.
To add to this, research is also showing that CBD may help reduce inflammation, helping to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Uncomfortable inflammation can interfere with both sleep patterns and sleep quality so, basically, less inflammation = better quality sleep.
Finally, studies have shown that CBD has a mass potential to act as an analgesic. In fact, the majority of clinical studies describe the efficacy of oral CBD administration ranging in periods from one to several weeks. After treatment sessions, patients consistently reported reduced pain, improvements in both times spent asleep and sleep quality, and reduced symptoms of insomnia and fatigue. How awesome is that??.
So, if you’re looking for a natural way to improve your sleep and overall health, CBD is definitely worth considering. (At least we think so anyway!)
