CBD for sleep
Getting adequate sleep is essential for good health and for the body to maintain and regulate its vital functions. Adequate sleep duration and quality can improve mood, behavior, alertness, memory, learning, and overall physical and mental health.
However, a large part of the world's population sleeps less than 7 hours per night, and suffers from sleep disorders or insomnia. Stress, work or even intensive use of screens are factors that significantly impact falling asleep and the quality of sleep.
To deal with this effectively, cannabidiol, also called “CBD”, would be an effective solution to naturally regain restful sleep.
CBD (cannabidiol), a natural product
CBD (or cannabidiol), is a molecule derived from the hemp plant, commonly called cannabis. It is part of the cannabinoid family.
Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it does not cause psychotropic effects and does not lead to addiction. CBD is therefore not considered a narcotic.
CBD is said to have effective properties to promote relaxation, facilitate muscle relaxation, reduce stress and relieve physical discomfort. Thus, it would facilitate falling asleep and contribute to better quality sleep.
Increasingly democratized, CBD can be consumed in several forms: oil, infusions, cosmetic products, food products, capsules, capsules or even e-liquids.
Unlike chemical and conventional medications prescribed for sleep disorders, cannabidiol has no side effects. Indeed, the latter can cause states of involuntary drowsiness, sleep that is not always restful as well as a more or less high habituation. However, CBD cannot replace real drug treatment.
Links Between CBD and Sleep
Sleep disorders include several types of symptoms such as insomnia, sleep apnea , hypersomnia, sleepwalking, sleep paralysis, restless legs syndrome, nightmares and even nocturnal startles.
These manifestations disrupt the quality and duration of sleep, and lead to harmful consequences on the quality of life such as chronic fatigue, daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, and in the most serious cases, a risk of developing cardiovascular and degenerative diseases.
Many studies* have shown that CBD can help you sleep better and limit these types of symptoms.
CBD (or cannabidiol) is said to act on the body by stimulating the endocannabinoid system , particularly the cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 .
Knowing that these receptors are connected to the nervous system, CBD would reduce the intensity of neuronal activity to reduce the factors that increase this activity such as stress, anxiety, pain and inflammation. Thus, cannabidiol would act indirectly on the circadian modulation of sleep; it would help the body to relax, to fall asleep more quickly, and to promote good physical and mental recovery during the night.
Benefits of CBD on sleep
CBD would help improve the quality of sleep and regain restful sleep naturally.
Fall asleep faster
CBD is said to help relieve stress, relax muscles, and relieve inflammation and physical pain. It therefore promotes well-being and helps people fall asleep more easily .
Another important point is that the calming action of CBD on the nervous system helps prevent the degradation of neurotransmitters responsible for cognitive faculties, emotional state and pain.
If a person feels fear, nervousness or is simply upset before going to bed, taking CBD would allow them to regulate their emotions and improve their mood.
CBD would also promote the secretion of melatonin , the hormone which helps regulate chronobiological rhythms, and thus facilitate sleep.
Sleep longer
In addition, CBD would allow you to sleep better and longer because it would regulate the phases of REM sleep. The latter contribute to a more restful sleep , promote dreams, fight sleep apnea and insomnia.
CBD consumption would therefore offer a deeper and more relaxing sleep .
What dosage of CBD should you choose to sleep better?
For people who have never taken CBD before, it is advisable to start with a small amount to observe their reaction and tolerance to the product.
Once they are used to consuming CBD, they can increase or decrease the dosage according to their needs.
In order to feel a satisfactory effect, it is recommended to consume 0.5 mg of CBD per kilo. For example, the ideal dosage for a man who weighs 70 kilos is 35 mg. This dosage can be divided into three doses (morning, noon and evening), or approximately 12 mg per dose and can be increased to 1 mg per kg depending on the desired effect. If this dosage is not enough, it will then be necessary to increase to 1 mg per kg.
