Will CBD Gummies Help Me with Sleep Disorders Such as Insomnia?

The cannabis sativa plant is well known for its relaxing properties. In the 1800’s, physician William O’Shaughnessy reported that cannabis was an effective sedative for pain and rheumatism. Since then, many studies have verified that small doses of THC can help people fall asleep faster and even stay asleep, but can CBD resolve insomnia? Let’s take a closer look.
Insomnia is defined as an inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep. There are many reasons that one might experience insomnia including anxiety. Overdosing on THC can actually cause anxiety in some cannabis consumers. While CBD is not known to induce sleep, it is known to reduce anxiety thereby helping people to relax and prepare for sleep. And, CBD doesn’t inhibit sleep, so that is important to note.
If nighttime sleep disturbances are anxiety-related, taking CBD prior to sleep could diminish anxiety nightmares thereby assisting one with staying asleep longer and in deeper, more replenishing sleep states. Daytime dosing of CBD is advised to address stress incurred during the hours that one is awake and encountering stressful scenarios or experiences that might trigger anxiety.
