How Does CBD for Sleep Work?
There are a few receptors in your brain that are uniquely receptive to interact with cannabinoids that are naturally occurring in your body.
Fortunately, for those having sleep issues, these receptors are also able to interact with cannabinoids that come from outside your body through CBD usage.
When you ingest CBD, your brain is able to promote you to fall asleep faster and to stay asleep all night long.
Other Ingredients
You can sometimes find CBD with other ingredients to help promote a better night of sleep.
Popular add-ons include melatonin, CBN, gamma aminobutyric acid, and more.
Types of CBD
There are three basic ways to ingest CBD for sleep.
These categories are topical, ingestion, or inhalation.
Most dispensaries will recommend ingestion and inhalation as the most effective ways to take CBD.
Is CBD for Sleep Safe?
Yes, it is definitely safe, as it has only been proven to have very minor side effects. In fact, the most common side effect noted is dry mouth.
However, you should always consult with a doctor or budtender about which strain is best for your sleep issues.
