Sleep conditions, from insomnia to sleep apnea and narcolepsy, are an epidemic. According to the American Sleep Association (sleepassociation.org), such conditions affect between 50 and 70 million Americans, and more than 70 percent of the adult population reports insufficient sleep.

Sleep studies in their early phases are indicating incredible results with measured doses of CBD. They suggest doses around 25 milligrams can help patients fall asleep, and then varying doses ranging from 50 to 160 milligrams can help people stay asleep. The studies indicate potential applications effective for the treatment of insomnia, a sleep condition that results in consistent feelings of unrest. And as I note in the preceding section, CBD seems to interrupt the body’s cortisol secretion, creating sedative effects that can also help with sleep issues.

Some studies have indicated that alertness is an effect of CBD use, and while some are taking it specifically to improve alertness, some take CBD to sleep. If taking CBD creates a sensation of sleep difficulty, exploring conditions and the root cause of sleeplessness are most certainly in order.
