CBD For Sleep Issues

CBD for Sleep

 For centuries, the human race has been utilising the marijuana plant for medicinal purposes. Compounds known as cannabinoids are the reason why this magical plant affects the brain, positively and negatively. There is a stigma flying around that THC and CBD are the same thing, however that is not the case at all! THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the cannabinoid that is responsible for the ’impairing high feeling’ that you feel, when consumed. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that will be beneficial in many ways, without causing the sensation of being high. Although the stigma is still around, THC and CBD are very different, the research speaks for itself. This article is going to explain the benefits of taking CBD on a daily basis, to relieve insomnia and its ability to help get rid of sleepless nights.

 What does the research say?

First and foremost, the human body has a fully-functional Endocannabinoid System (ECS) which stems throughout, from your head to toe. This endocannabinoid system has provided receptors all around your body, thus allowing the consumption of CBD to release the full range of benefits. The endocannabinoid system carries out a cell-signalling process in the body. When CBD is consumed, the endocannabinoid receptors in the brain are stimulated and the outcome has an impact on your cortisol levels, which aids in better sleep.

Insomnia and Sleep

 The human body is designed to release cortisol closer to the morning, meaning that your cortisol levels will peak. Due to cortisol being the primary stress hormone, it regulates blood sugar levels allowing the body to start functioning when awake. However, if you suffer from insomnia, your cortisol levels usually peak during the night, causing restlessness and sleepless nights. To combat insomnia, CBD is the perfect answer for you. The endocannabinoid system is the ideal machine to manage insomnia, all it needs is a little CBD booster and the ECS will stimulate the receptors in the brain, to prevent night time awakenings.
