A great night of sleep will have you waking up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your day head-on. But finding restorative sleep can be elusive at times. If you’re looking for better quality sleep, our CBD for Sleep and Rest products might be just what you need to ease your way into a restful slumber.
For many people, CBD is the answer to getting a good night’s sleep that lets you wake up feeling well-rested and alert. In fact, a 2019 sleep study found that 66.7% of adult participants experienced sleep improvements with CBD within the first month.
CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in the hemp/cannabis plant. Your body has an entire system dedicated to processing cannabinoids called the endocannabinoid system. This complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters helps regulate various functions of your body—including sleep.
When you use CBD, either topically or by ingesting it, your endocannabinoid system is activated. This promotes increased relaxation which may help you have an easier time falling asleep and staying asleep longer for a better sleep cycle.
There are several factors that can determine the best dosage of CBD for sleep. Your body weight, the severity of your symptoms, the type of CBD product you’re using, and the potency of your CBD product can all play a role in determining its effectiveness in supporting your sleep needs.
It’s always recommended to start with a low dose of any CBD product and monitor how it affects you and your symptoms. It’s a great idea to keep a journal to track when you take your dose, how much you took, and how long it took for you to feel the effects. Then, you can gradually increase your dose (if needed) until you find the optimal amount that provides the relief you’re seeking.
When you’re choosing CBD products for sleep and rest, you want to be certain that you select a reliable and reputable brand. This will ensure the accuracy of the amount of CBD in each dose as well as the purity of the product. And you may want to try different types of products until you find the best CBD for sleep that works best for you!
CBD gummies for sleep are a popular choice for both newcomers and long-time CBD enthusiasts. They’re easily portable so they can travel with you for restful sleep away from home, the dosing is conveniently pre-measured, and they come in tasty flavors! Always store your CBD gummies in a cool, dry, dark place to preserve their freshness.
CBD tinctures for sleep are a blend of CBD extract with added botanicals that work together synergistically to promote falling asleep faster and staying asleep longer. Tinctures (sometimes just called extracts or oils) come in a glass bottle with a dropper for sublingual dosing that allows for quick absorption and fast results. Store your CBD oil in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
CBD topicals for rest are a blend of CBD extract, carrier oils, and aromatherapeutic botanicals that you can roll on or rub into your skin for absorption. They’re great for targeting sore muscles or achy joints that might be preventing your body from getting a good night’s rest. CBD topicals smell great and are convenient for on-the-go relief and for travel.
Creating a sleep routine that you follow every night will help your mind and body be in its best position for restful, restorative sleep. Light exercise (such as yoga or stretching), reducing digital distractions, and reading are some great ways to wind down your day. Incorporating CBD into your nighttime routine is easy no matter which type of CBD product (or products) you would like to use. Remember that each person’s body is unique and may respond differently in how quickly it metabolizes the CBD and begins to feel its effects.
Here are some general guidelines for effectively dosing with CBD before bedtime:
CBD Oil: Aim to take your tincture 30-40 minutes before your desired bedtime if you have trouble falling asleep. If you have trouble staying asleep, take the oil right before you go to bed.
CBD Gummies: Edibles can take longer to kick in and should be consumed about 60 minutes before bedtime.
CBD Topicals: We recommend using topicals right before you get into bed to take advantage of the quick absorption that targets your aches and pains, so you can relax more quickly when you lay down. You may reapply as needed.
You can use your CBD products in combination with each other to target different challenges you face when trying to get a good night’s sleep. For example, you might take a gummy an hour before bed for general sleep wellness then use the topical right before you lay down to soothe aches and pains that make it hard to get comfortable.
Quality sleep is essential to your mental health, so consider making CBD part of a holistic bedtime routine that might include reducing electronic usage, dimming your lights, doing some light yoga or meditation, or spending some time with a good book—all of which can help you wind down and find a more peaceful night’s sleep.
