How CBD Oil is Helping Users Get a Better Sleep

Millions of Americans find it hard to fall asleep. As a matter of fact, the number of US citizens with sleeping disorders numbers to around 70 million. With such a high number of the population suffering from such disorders, CBD oil might just be the thing you need.

If you have never heard about CBD oil, then do know it is heavily used to get better sleep. But it can do so much more than that. If this is your first time reading about it and looking for ways to treat your sleeping disorders, then this is the article for you.

Without wasting too much of your time, let’s start.

 

What is CBD Oil?

CBD Oil is a product that you can find in nearly every cannabis dispensary in the United States. You’ll mostly find the product in a tincture bottle or a needless syringe. But regardless, it is a product that can do wonders for your sleeping disorders, here’s a list from WebMD.

CBD is a compound of cannabis and hemp that gets turned into the oil using various other ingredients. The main purpose of the oil is to contain enough CBD to experience its wellness properties.

Certain oils come with or without THC. And here is where the main misconception about CBD comes from. Namely, CBD doesn’t affect your mind in the same way as THC. It is a non-psychoactive compound that offers different kinds of benefits to the user.

Most of these benefits come in the form of relief, better sleep helps with epilepsy, acne, and all kinds of other conditions.

The CBD is usually hemp-derived so it doesn’t contain any THC. The bare minimum amount of THC that the oil can contain in order to constitute as a CBD product is 0.3%.

Most oil makers use all kinds of ingredients such as MCT oil to make the product more effective for consumption.

How Does CBD Oil Work?

Figuring out how CBD works and how oil can help you sleep was something tough to discover. That’s because CBD primarily interacts with receptors in our brain called ECS receptors.

It does this in a way that makes you more drowsy. And here is exactly how.

ECS stands for Endocannabinoid System and it is located in the central nervous system. The system is made out of cannabinoid receptors that go throughout your body and into the central nervous system.

Scientists didn’t even know that the ECS existed, not until 25 years ago. Nowadays, scientists are able to discover that this system produces endocannabinoids that improve our sleep cycle and keep it in order.

CBD oil is made out of cannabinoids that interact with the ECS. Thus, CBD is able to impact your sleep cycle and effectively improve your sleep quality.

 

How Can CBD Oil Help You Sleep Better?

The main thing to note is that our brains have receptors that intercept the cannabinoids in the oil. These are the so-called ECS receptors and studies suggest that these are the receptors responsible for you getting a good night’s sleep.

As research finds, CBD directly impacts these receptors. While we talked about it in the previous part, it’s important to note that CBD has several impacts. For starters, it appears to reduce daytime sleepiness.

In many studies conducted around CBD and sleeping disorders, it was found that cannabidiol has the potential to reduce sleep disorders. Websites such as cbdoilsleepguide.com list some studies as well as feature the best products for a quality sleep.

This is all possible due to the nature of the compound. Both THC and CBD are quite different, but this area is one where they share similarities. Namely, both THC and CBD will help you relax. It’s safe to say that one of them comes with an extra set of euphoric high.

With all that said, it’s important to note that research is in its early stages as the US has recently legalized CBD in many of its states, actively reinforcing the need to conduct studies.

How to Use CBD Oil?

The question on everyone’s lips is how to use it and how much to take. Fortunately for you, CBD is labeled as safe. This means that you shouldn’t care too much about the dosage.

However, every CBD oil product specifically has instructions as to how to use it and how much to take. If this is your first time trying it, then 1 to 2 drops is perfectly fine.

Take 1 to 2 drops in the morning, and the same dosage before going to bed. However, ever person has a different body and you might require a higher dosage. If so, then feel free to experiment and find your optimal CBD routine.

Everything from the dosage, the form of oil, and the time of taking are entirely up to your choosing. It’s important to note that there are different types of CBD products and different types of CBD oil on the US market.

As we mentioned earlier, you can take the oil in the form of a tincture or needless syringe. Each one has its benefits.

Types of CBD Oil

Three types of CBD oil exist in the US market. Let’s take a look at them.

·      Full Spectrum Oil

Full Spectrum CBD oil is the preferred option for many Americans. This oil contains up to 80 cannabinoids and THC. This might be the reason why Full Spectrum oil is so popular.

The THC amount must be no more than 0.3% in the oil. And that’s enough for you to experience what is called “The Entourage Effect”. This an effect deemed by many as beneficial.

It “appears” whenever THC, CBD, and the many other cannabinoids work together. It can only be found in Full Spectrum oil simply because it contains THC.

·      Broad Spectrum Oil

Broad Spectrum oil is essentially the opposite of Full Spectrum as it contains no THC. This oil might share similarities but it is very different. For starters, to make Broad Spectrum oil you would need to put the CBD through a specialized purifying process that removes all THC.

That doesn’t mean Broad Spectrum is bad or ineffective. Those that don’t like THC in their oil can settle for Broad Spectrum CBD oil.

·      CBD Isolate

And the last CBD oil is in the form of an isolate. Isolate is the purest form of CBD, specially designed to achieve maximal CBD concentrations. CBD Isolate oils are 99% pure CBD and contain very little other ingredients.

Many athletes are preferring this type of oil as it is allowed by many anti-doping agencies. With all that said, all three types help achieve the same thing.

All three oil can help you sleep better.

Finishing Thoughts

CBD Oil is a highly sought-after product in the US market and only growing in popularity. Capable of transforming the lives of millions of Americans, it is growing and slowly becoming one of the best ways to fight sleep disorders.
