CBD FOR SLEEP

USING CBD FOR SLEEP

As a CBD expert, taking CBD supplements can lead to a better sleep quality and cycle. Most CBD supplements are effective in improving sleep and work mainly by lowering or preventing the triggers of insomnia and other sleep conditions. CBD can significantly reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and some effects of certain medications that contribute to sleep disorders, improving your sleep. The supplements are mainly used to counter or treat the major causatives of sleep problems. CBD can also reverse RBD and grogginess which lead to insomnia. Taking CBD in form of capsules, or pills is likely to better your sleep quality as the cannabinoids interact longer with the endocannabinoid system.

What to look for

 I recommend you look for the following when shopping for CBD products;

Full-spectrum CBD, Broad spectrum CBD or CBD isolate depending on the number of ingredients you prefer.

The potency of concentration of the product, opt for those with less than 0.3% THC.

Third lab-test.

Ingredients listed on the label.

Added ingredients or terpenes such as linalool, melatonin, myrcene, caryophylenne and botanical chamomile as they possess sedative, calming, and sleep inducing properties.

How much do you need

The dosage varies based on your experience or usage levels, I suggest you take CBD dosages of 25mg to 1500 mg in a day when looking to better your sleep and begin with low doses till you find the right dosage.
