What Does the Research Say About CBD for Sleep?

In dose-dependent quantities, CBD has been found to influence REM sleep and may be beneficial for sleep-related issues. Preliminary research suggests that CBD oil may be beneficial for those with excessive daytime sleepiness disorder, REM sleep behaviour disorder, and others. In a study from 2012, researchers concluded that "CBD efficiently blocked anxiety-induced REM sleep suppression," suggesting that this cannabinoid may be beneficial for those who experience sleep issues due to anxiety. Studies to date suggest that higher concentrations of CBD tend to be more sedating, while lower doses often have the opposite effect.

The majority of studies to date, however, do not show consistent improvements in sleep through the use of CBD, only for those with insomnia. However, multiple studies have shown that CBD may help with things such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and other issues that lead to a lack of sleep by helping one to relax. If these aspects are to blame for not getting a good night's rest, CBD could be beneficial in helping to address these underlying issues so that you can rest easier.

How Can I Use CBD to Help Aid In Sleep?

CBD can be consumed in many different ways. Depending on your specific sleep issues, different methods may prove to be more effective. For example, if you are having issues falling asleep, a fast-onset consumption method such as inhalation or sublingual tinctures may be the best option. If you are having trouble staying asleep, it may be best to utilise high-dosed cannabidiol edibles, which tend to offer longer-lasting effects to help you stay asleep.

In the case that you are suffering from chronic pain that is preventing you from resting, edibles, inhalation, and topical CBD products may all offer different benefits to help you fall asleep swiftly and stay asleep longer. If anxiety, depression, or PTSD are keeping you up at night, perhaps consuming a CBD edible an hour or so before bed will allow you to fall asleep faster and keep you asleep throughout the night.

The best way to utilize CBD products to help you obtain a better night's sleep is to find what works best for you based on your specific sleep issues and needs. This may take some trial and error, but in the end, getting a good night's sleep on a consistent basis will be well worth the effort!
