Are you tired of counting sheep at night while others enjoy a restful slumber? The good news is that some studies show CBD is helpful for those who suffer from the misery of insomnia, and may help with both falling asleep, and staying asleep.¹
Insomnia is an experience of inadequate or poor-quality sleep characterised by one or more of the following²
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Difficulty maintaining sleep
- Waking up too early in the morning
- Non-refreshing sleep
About 30 to 40 percent of adults indicate some level of insomnia within any given year, and about 10 percent to 15 percent indicate that the insomnia is chronic or severe. The prevalence of insomnia increases with age and is more common in women.²
Over the past years, several lines of evidence support a therapeutic potential of Cannabis derivatives, and in particular phytocannabinoids.³
Insomnia and chronic stress may go hand-in-hand. That’s because constantly worrying can keep your mind active at night, making it difficult to sleep.⁴
Coping with the impact of chronic stress can be challenging. Because the source of long-term stress is more constant than acute stress, the body never receives a clear signal to return to normal functioning. With chronic stress, those same lifesaving reactions in the body can disturb sleep.⁵
Over time, continued strain on your body from stress may contribute to serious health problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other illnesses, including depression.⁵
