CBD, short for cannabidiol , is a molecule naturally found in hemp, also known as cannabis sativa . Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive effects, which means that it does not alter the state of consciousness and does not cause a feeling of euphoria or a "high".
Important: In France, CBD is considered a new molecule and does not yet benefit from official health claims. Therefore, we cannot say that CBD has a direct impact on sleep or stress. However, many consumers are turning to CBD for its relaxing and calming properties , and scientific studies are beginning to explore its therapeutic potential.
Effects of CBD on Sleep: Towards Peaceful Nights
Restful sleep is essential for physical and mental health. It allows the body to regenerate, consolidate memory and regulate emotions. Experts recommend around 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night for optimal functioning. Unfortunately, many people suffer from sleep disorders such as:
- Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep.
- Light sleep: waking up frequently during the night.
- Restless legs syndrome: unpleasant sensations in the legs that disrupt sleep.
- Sleep apnea: breathing pauses during sleep.
Stress, work pressure, excessive use of screens before bed, consumption of stimulants (caffeine, nicotine) and certain illnesses can disrupt the quality of sleep.
CBD may promote rest and relaxation before bed, contributing to better sleep. It could act on the endocannabinoid system, involved in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles, and on neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which influences mood and sleep.

Effects of CBD on Stress: Managing Daily Tensions
Stress is a natural reaction of the body to difficult or threatening situations. It is an essential survival mechanism that mobilizes the energy and resources necessary to face danger. However, chronic or excessive stress can have detrimental consequences on physical and mental health. Symptoms of stress may include:
- Physical pain : muscle tension, headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe fatigue, chest pain.
- Cognitive disorders : difficulty concentrating, memory problems, difficulty making decisions.
- Emotional disorders : irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, depression.
- Behavioral disorders : social isolation, relationship difficulties, eating disorders.
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system , a complex system involved in the regulation of many physiological functions, including stress and anxiety. CBD could act on CB1 receptors present in the amygdala (fear center), the hippocampus (memory and learning) and the cingulate cortex (emotion regulation), areas of the brain involved in the management of stress and anxiety.
CBD may also influence the release of neurotransmitters such as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety. CBD does not cause addiction ordependence , which makes it a very popular product.
Important: CBD should not be considered as a substitute for medical treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional. If you suffer from chronic stress or anxiety, it is essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Consume CBD in What Form? A Wide Range of Possibilities
CBD comes in various forms, offering consumers a wide choice based on their preferences and needs:
- CBD oils : take sublingually (under the tongue) for rapid absorption of effects . The oils offer great dosage flexibility.
