How Can CBD Help Me Sleep?
CBD can help you sleep by alleviating the common causes of insomnia — such as anxiety, chronic stress, or pain.
It’s important to combine sleep with adequate sleep hygiene. This involves other lifestyle changes that can be used to support a healthy sleep cycle.
Some examples of proper sleep hygiene include:
- Avoiding computer or phone screens at least an hour before bed
- Avoiding stimulants in the late afternoon and evening
- Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day
- Dimming the lights in the evening
- Using blue-light filters on your computer screens in the evening
- Practicing yoga, meditation, or wind-down techniques before bed
The best CBD oils for sleep are made from a full-spectrum extract rich in sleep-supportive terpenes and cannabinoids. Ideally, a CBD oil for sleep should contain at least 50 mg of CBD per milliliter of oil.
