CBD may help soothe anxiety that’s keeping you awake at night, helping you drift off more easily to sleep and stay asleep longer, so that when morning comes around you’ll wake up feeling more rested than when the night before.
This tincture features an assortment of sleep-inducing ingredients, such as soothing chamomile and melatonin. Plus, organic ingredients and minimal sugar have also been included!
Tinctures
Tinctures are a concentrated form of CBD, typically made with various ingredients to mask its bitter taste and ease sublingual administration. Many brands even come equipped with droppers for effortless application – making tinctures ideal for sleep aiding purposes and aiding restful nights’ rest.
CBD does not act like a sedative; rather, it promotes restful sleep by increasing quality sleep and decreasing cortisol levels – which rise during times of stress and can contribute to anxiety or high blood pressure levels.
Contrary to medications for anxiety and sleep, CBD is nontoxic, nonhabit forming, and has no risk of dependence or addiction. Furthermore, CBD can prevent some common drug interactions, including inhibiting the cytochrome P450 enzyme in your liver which affects absorption.

Gummies
Joy Organics may offer relief if anxiety prevents you from sleeping well at night.

Furthermore, L-theanine found in green tea may increase GABA activity which provides calming neurotransmitter activity.
CBDfx’s gummies contain not only CBD but also melatonin and other ingredients designed to promote restful sleep, such as lemon balm. Plus, these treats are gluten-free, vegan, and free from artificial sweeteners; plus chamomile and peppermint help soothe digestive distress.
If you are new to CBD, it is advisable to speak to your healthcare provider prior to implementing a treatment plan. Your provider can recommend appropriate doses and products based on your health needs as well as medications you are currently taking.
Capsules
CBD works on receptors within the body known as the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), which regulates chemicals thought to influence sleep. Studies have revealed how CBD helps promote restful rest by decreasing anxiety levels and shortening the time it takes to fall asleep, increasing NonREM sleep duration duration and quality, and decreasing overall time to fall asleep.
Studies have demonstrated that CBD and other cannabinoids increase GABA production, which reduces nerve activity and calms the brain, providing relief for anxiety disorders like PTSD that cause sleep difficulties. CBD can also aid with anxiety-related insomnia by lowering blood pressure to make falling asleep easier.
Before taking CBD, speak with a healthcare provider in order to make sure it won’t interact with any medications you already take or cause any side effects. Also make sure you select the ideal form of CBD such as capsules or tinctures; vaping may speed up absorption into the bloodstream but poses health risks that should be considered carefully when making decisions regarding health.
Oils
CBD comes in various delivery forms, such as capsules, gummies or edibles and oils. While doses may differ between products, anyone considering this treatment for sleep should always consult their physician first before initiating any new regimen involving CBD products. It’s also wise to avoid mixing CBD with substances like alcohol as this could amplify its effects.
Studies involving 103 adults treated for anxiety and sleep disorders with CBD showed improvements in both areas; however, as this was a retrospective case series study it cannot be determined whether these improvements were caused by CBD alone or were the result of other factors.
Another study suggests that CBD could assist with sleep apnea, which occurs when breathing repeatedly stops during sleep and can lead to cardiovascular conditions and strokes, among other health concerns. Animal studies indicate CBD’s efficacy against apnea; further research will need to be completed before we know if it can serve as an effective therapy against human sleep apnea/narcolepsy as a whole.
