I have always struggled with restlessness, switching off in the evenings and getting a good sleep in, and this is before I became a Mummy and lost even more vital sleep.
CBD for sleep has become an increasingly popular aid across the world, and the research, testimonials and benefits for our health are what made me explore this method for sleeplessness even further.
CBD stands for Cannabidiol. It is a natural compound found in the cannabis family of plants, which can be extracted and taken for health benefits. Many people associate cannabis with getting high and being an illegal drug and therefore are wary of CBD. It’s understandable that things can get confusing.
CBD and THC are the two main ingredients in cannabis-type plants. CBD does NOT get you high – it is the primary ingredient in sleepless aids and has additional anti-inflammatory and pain-relief benefits. THC can get you high but it has its own arrangement of health benefits (see https://area52.com/ for more information on these). THC is generally only licensed for medicinal use in most countries and should not be included in your CBD sleepless aids. Always check the product label to ensure you are purchasing a tincture with the right ingredient for you.
When you buy CBD products in the UK, they must be made of hemp – and therefore have a level of THC of less than 0.2% to be legal. This means you absolutely WILL NOT get high off CBD products – you will simply reap the health benefits of this natural compound.
CBD has not been proven to help insomnia, but it certainly has helped lots of people around the world to switch off more so. The endocannabinoid system helps to regulate our sleep-wake cycle, and there are over 70 different sleep disorders, but CBD can help some of them.
Here are some CBD options for sleeplessness:
- Wellbeing Breathe In – want a relaxing and uninterrupted sleep? This Deep Sleep Breathe In option is a natural roll-on that keeps tension at bay, calms your mind and helps you have a much deeper, relaxed sleep. The natural smells of chamomile, lavender and vetivert also help keep my anxiety at bay. This is definitely a great option for those who suffer with anxiety and headaches at night too.
2. Sleep Aid capsules – these are readily available at Holland & Barrett, and work in the same way a sleep aid capsule would, but they are 100% natural, so suitable for vegans too. These are what I have tried, and 6 out of 7 nights, I have drifted off with ease.
3. I’ve also tried a warm bath with CBD Oil in it and chocolates – trust me, your muscles feel relaxed, brand new and the chocolates are totally yummy, and don’t taste too ‘healthy’.
There are so many places to get CBD products from online, but one of the most reliable websites for information and help to choose the perfect product for you is https://cfah.org/. They will help you get your head around advanced health and wellbeing options for you and your entire family, whilst offering you a high quality product.
So remember, it is vital to sleep well, and the next time you are feeling at your wits end after another restless night, then explore CBD, do your research and if you do want to try a product, then make sure it is a trusted brand. I write down in My Positive Planner too to ensure that I note dreams, how many hours I’ve slept and anything that may be worrying me before I go to sleep.
