CBD and better night sleep - Could CBD help support healthy sleep?
Quality sleep is one of the building blocks of good health. It allows the body to rest, recover and prepare for the next day. However, statistics show that many people struggle to get enough quality sleep.
35% of adults in the US and 71% of adults in the UK report they sleep less than seven hours per night.
Moreover, 50-70 million US adults (5-6% of the population) have sleeping disorders, which are conditions that make it difficult to fall or stay asleep. The most common reported medical sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy and REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD).
With sleeping disorders on the rise, more and more people are looking for ways to improve their sleep. CBD is one natural alternative to help aid in occasional sleeplessness. Some studies have suggested that CBD may be effective in supporting a healthy sleep and allowing the body to feel relaxed. .
What are the potential causes of sleep disorders & how can CBD help?
Sleeping problems can be caused by a range of physical, mental and environmental factors, including:
- Pain or discomfort
- Stress, anxiety or depression
- Respiratory difficulties or allergies
- Alcohol or caffeine
- Medication
- Excessive screen use
- Shift work
- Excessive noise or light
While research into CBD and support of sleeplessness is in its infancy, some studies suggest that CBD may contribute to a reduction in some physical and mental causes which may contribute to sleeping difficulties, such as pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and depression.

Symptoms of sleep disorders
Poor sleep can cause many symptoms, but if you struggle to fall or stay asleep at night on a regular basis, this could be a sign of a sleeping disorder. Sleeping disorders can negatively affect every aspect of your life, including your wellbeing, relationships and work performance. Common symptoms of sleeping disorders include:

Different phases of sleep
There are four stages of sleep. Stages 1 to 3 are known as non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep, and stage 4 is the rapid eye movement (REM) phase. Each night, our brains go through these four stages several times. Each stage gets longer and the sleep gets deeper with every cycle.
How much sleep do we need?
The amount of sleep we need decreases as we age. On average, healthy adults aged 18 and over need 7-9 hours sleep per night, while teenagers need 8-10 hours, children 9-14 hours and infants 12-15 hours.
- A 2017 review of research into cannabis and sleep concluded that CBD may have the potential to help with common sleep disorders, such as insomnia and REM sleep behaviour disorder, as well as excessive daytime sleepiness.
- According to the Sleep Association, CBD may help to support the sleep/wake cycle. In a 2016 case study, CBD oil was found to contribute to improved sleep .
- A 2014 study of patients with Parkinson’s disease found that CBD could improve the symptoms of REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) with no side effects.
- Research indicates that CBD has a calming effect on the nervous system, which may in turn aid sleep.
CBD and sleep disorders: Could CBD help with sleep problems?
A growing number of people worldwide report that CBD may help them sleep better. But is there any scientific evidence to support this? If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, early studies on CBD and sleep disorders suggest that CBD oil may offer support by helping the body to relax and aiding sleep. Here’s an overview of some of this research:
Potential CBD effects and sleep?
CBD is known to influence the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a cell-signalling network which keeps the body balanced by regulating mood, pain, sleep and other processes.
Scientists believe that CBD supports the ECS by preventing enzymes from breaking down endocannabinoids (cannabinoids produced by the body), thereby allowing them to have a greater effect.
By indirectly supporting the function of the ECS, CBD may play a role in supporting sleep, while some studies have suggested that CBD may also reduce factors that can contribute to poor sleep such as pain and anxiety.
Can CBD be used as an alternative to feel refreshed in the morning?
As we have seen, there is evidence that CBD may have a calming effect on the body and aid sleep. This suggests that it may be an effective alternative to assist in healthy sleep;. If you have a pre-existing medical condition or take prescribed medication, ask a medical professional before use of any CBD products..
