1. Reduces Anxiety and Stress

  • CBD interacts with serotonin receptors and the endocannabinoid system, helping to calm the nervous system.

  • Lower anxiety = easier time falling and staying asleep.

2. Relieves Pain and Inflammation

  • For people with chronic pain, CBD may help reduce discomfort at night, leading to deeper and longer sleep.

3. Regulates Sleep-Wake Cycles

  • Some studies suggest CBD may influence circadian rhythms, improving overall sleep quality, particularly for people with insomnia or shift-work issues.

4. Helps with REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

  • In small studies (especially with Parkinson’s patients), CBD reduced abnormal REM sleep activity like thrashing or vivid nightmares.


🕰️ When to Take It for Sleep:

  • 30–60 minutes before bedtime is ideal.

  • Start with a low dose (e.g., 10–25 mg), and increase gradually if needed.
