Can CBD Support Better Sleep?

Can CBD Support Better Sleep?

Hey there, fellow sleep-seeker! 

Let's talk about one of life's most underrated treasures: sleep. We all know that getting a good night's sleep is important, but do we truly understand just how crucial it is for our overall well-being? According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, “Sleep is one of the most important factors for a healthy body and mind. Get enough restful nights, and you will be able to make the most out of every day.”1

Let’s dive deep into the world of sleep and discover how CBD can be your secret weapon for achieving those sweet dreams.

The Importance of Sleep

Think of sleep as your body's way of hitting the reset button – it's the time when your brain gets a chance to process the events of the day, your muscles repair and grow, and your immune system gets a much-needed boost.2 Without enough sleep, your body simply can't function at its best.

Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on your physical health, increasing your risk of developing chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It can also take a toll on your mental health, leading to mood swings, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. In short, skimping on sleep is a recipe for disaster.

Enter CBD: Your Sleep Support Sidekick

So, what does CBD have to do with all of this? Well, as it turns out, CBD may be just what you need to catch those elusive Z's. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD won't get you high – instead, it offers a host of potential health benefits, including support for sleep.

In a cannabidiol and sleep large case study published in The Permanente Journal, 66.7% of adult participants had improvements in their sleep score within the first month of the study.3

How CBD Supports Sleep

CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that helps regulate various functions, including sleep. You can read more on The Endocannabinoid System blog. By influencing the activity of these receptors, CBD may help promote feelings of relaxation and calm, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.

Choosing the Right CBD Product for Sleep

Now that you know how CBD can support your sleep, the next step is finding the right product for you. CBD comes in many forms so there's something for everyone. Here are a few options to consider:

  • CBD Oil for Sleep: A classic choice, CBD oil is easy to use and offers fast absorption. Our Evening Blend Oil is a blend of organic CBD hemp extract, sunflower lecithin, organic MCT oil, and a custom botanical blend of Valerian Root, Lemon Balm, Vanilla, and Chamomile that promotes calmness and relaxation.

    If you have trouble falling asleep, take the Evening Blend 30-40 minutes before your desired bedtime. If you have trouble staying asleep, take the oil right before you go to sleep. 
  • CBD Roll-on for Sleep: If you struggle with sleep due to discomfort or muscle tension, a CBD topical could be just what you need. Our Restore Roll-On is intended to be used where you need it the most so if achy muscles or joints are keeping you up at night then the Restore Roll-On may be perfectly crafted for you and your sleep needs -  plus the lavender scent helps you ease into an evening of rest and relaxation. 
  • CBD Edibles for Sleep: From gummies to chocolates, CBD edibles are a tasty way to get your nightly dose of CBD. CBD gummies for sleep are a favorite for many! Just be sure to enjoy them a little while before hitting the hay to give them time to kick in.

    According to customer reviews, our Citrus-C Gummies help them sleep better throughout the night.

“I expected to get relief from heel pain that bothers me from time to time, but what I got was even better. Although I generally sleep very well, I often woke during the night to use the bathroom, and seldom woke up feeling like I had a great night's sleep. After about a week of using these very tasty gummies, I noticed that I was waking up feeling refreshed. That benefit means even more to me than the relief of the heel pain, and was completely unexpected. I didn't even realize I *wasn't* waking up feeling restored until I actually woke up feeling restored! Very grateful to Treadwell Farms.” - Pam J 

The Evening Blend Oil and Restore Roll-On promote relaxation and encourage a night of restful sleep. We encourage you to incorporate one or both of these products into your nightly routine. That’s why we’ve combined these two products to make a Sleep Kit

Sleep is essential for living your best life, and CBD can be a valuable tool in your quest for better sleep. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, jet lag, or simply want to improve the quality of your sleep, CBD may offer the support you need to drift off into dreamland. So go ahead, and embrace those sweet dreams – you deserve them!

Until next time, sleep tight and dream on!
