Sleep plays a key role in our quest for a balanced and fulfilling life.
Yet many of us suffer from sleep disorders (insomnia, anxiety or chronic pain) that can disrupt our daily lives and our well-being.
That’s where CBD comes in, a natural substance with soothing properties that is increasingly acclaimed for its benefits on sleep quality.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from cannabis, but unlike THC, it does not have a psychoactive effect. Instead, it acts on our body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates a wide range of physiological functions, including sleep.
☁️ Here at Kodd, we’d like to tell you how CBD can help you get a good night’s sleep.
If you suffer from stress and anxiety, CBD will help you relax and fall asleep more quickly thanks to its anxiolytic properties, reducing these feelings of tension.
When it comes to relieving physical pain and/or discomfort, CBD has been shown to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help relieve pain and improve comfort during the night.
CBD may also play a role in regulating circadian rhythm, our body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. By promoting a balance in this system, CBD can help stabilize sleep patterns, which is essential for quality rest.
Finally, CBD reduces sleep disorders. In fact, preliminary studies suggest that it could be beneficial in treating certain disorders, such as insomnia or sleep apnoea. By acting on the biological mechanisms underlying these disorders, CBD could offer a natural solution to promote more regular and restful sleep.
It is important to note that the effects of CBD on sleep may vary from person to person, and we advise you to consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplementation regime.
What’s more, the quality of the CBD product you choose can also influence its effects, so we recommend that you choose high-quality products, ideally from organic sources and laboratory-tested.
🍃 How can you use CBD?
CBD can be used in a variety of ways to promote quality sleep. Oils and tinctures are among the most popular forms of consumption. They are taken sublingually, i.e. by placing a few drops under the tongue before bedtime, allowing rapid absorption into the bloodstream, to help you relax and fall asleep to promote restful sleep.
BD can also be found in capsule and tablet form, which is more practical and discreet. They are often precisely dosed, making it easy to control the amount consumed. Edibles, such as CBD-infused gum, candy or chocolate, are a tasty and enjoyable option for those who prefer to avoid the distinct taste of CBD oil.
You can also find CBD in the form of creams, lotions or balms to be applied topically to the skin. Although not directly linked to improved sleep, these products can be used to relieve muscle pain or tension, which can help you relax before bedtime.
Finally, infusions and teas are for those looking for a relaxing drink with soothing properties, as they are often combined with the benefits of various plants, such as chamomile or lavender, which are traditionally used to promote quality sleep.
With all these options, you have a wide choice of ways to get a good night’s sleep.
