Cannabis for sleeping

How does cannabis help for sleep?

Depending on where you live, marijuana can be an easily accessible substance if you want to get high. But how well does it help us sleep? Does using THC help you fall asleep? What about CBD for sleep? Can the right dose and the right cannabis help your REM sleep?
Some studies have already confirmed this. You can find some of them in a peer-reviewed journal. National Library of Medicine

Reduces anxiety

A common cause of sleep disorders is anxiety and stress. CBD helps regulate cortisol, a stress hormone that has a significant impact on non-REM sleep cycles. A comprehensive review of many studies has shown that CBD is useful in anxiety disorders and in improving sleep quality.

Pain relief

Cannabis may ease certain types of chronic pain, including pain due to nerve damage and inflammation. Ways of taking cannabis include edibles, topical applications, and tablets to place under the tongue. Full article on chronic pain.

Muscle relaxation

Studies show that CBD helps reduce tremors and increase mobility in Parkinson’s patients. By reducing muscle tremors, CBD helps with insomnia in patients with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease.

Signs of pregnancy

Many pregnant women suffer from insomnia. The World Health Organization (WHO) has found no negative health effects of CBD, although no studies in pregnant women have been reported. So we recommend that you consult your doctor before using CBD during pregnancy, but there’s certainly no stopping you from trying it.

Fighting nightmares

Nightmares can negatively affect the overall quality of sleep for many people. For those suffering from REM sleep disorder (RBD), which is characterized by anxiety and increased nightmares, restful sleep is anything but. In many cases, patients receiving CBD had fewer RBD side effects without negative side effects.

Relief from drowsiness

CBD regulates the body’s sleep and wake cycles and contributes to alertness during the day and relaxation at night. Insomnia and daytime sleepiness can affect performance during the day and sleepiness at night. Taking CBD during the day increases alertness, which leads to more restful sleep.

Relief from post-traumatic stress disorder

Sleep disorders can result from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which leads to sleep disorders and REM cycle problems. Other studies show the effectiveness of CBD oil in treating sleep problems associated with PTSD. CBD helps reduce anxiety associated with PTSD, thereby reducing anxiety-related REM sleep disorders.

In what form can you take marijuana for sleep

CBD cannabis for sleep drops

The advantage of CBD sleep drops is that they are very easy to use, just drip a few drops under the tongue, the dosage is different for each person, the onset of effects usually occurs within 20 minutes and lasts up to 6 hours. We recommend them to those who have trouble falling asleep, precisely because of the rapid onset and effects.

CBD Hemp tea for sleep

If you like tea, you should pay attention to it. The effects of cannabis tea on sleep are astounding, the effects of the tea come on in about 30 minutes and last about 3 hours (but this is very individual). If you would like to make an effective sleep tea, try adding a little fat (such as coconut fat) to your hemp tea. The fat releases cannabinoids and you will make a much stronger tea that will also last longer.
