Mama gives you all the explanations you need to take CBD oil for sleep. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, these tips can significantly improve your daily life and well-being.
Choosing the right CBD oil for sleep
Choosing the right CBD oil for sleep depends on a number of factors, including the intensity of your problems, your tolerance to cannabinoids and your metabolism. Each person is unique.
You'll need to find the CBD oil that's right for you. To choose the best oil, you'll need to follow Mama's advice. Opt for a CBD oil made from organically grown, pesticide-free hemp. What's more, your oil should be tested by third-party laboratories to verify its purity.
The method of extraction is also an important consideration. The supercritical CO2 extraction method, despite its twisted name, is considered the best extraction process. It preserves CBD purity without leaving chemical residues.
The choice of spectrum will have an impact on the potency of your oil. Full Spectrum CBD oils contain other cannabinoids and terpenes such as THC in regulatory doses, for maximum synergy and entourage effect. Alternatively, you can find THC-free Broad Spectrum or Broad Spectrum oils.
Finally, CBD concentrations range from 5% to 40% for the strongest oils. Mama recommends choosing an oil with a medium concentration (between 10% and 20%). If that’s not enough, go for an oil with a higher concentration.
CBD can significantly improve sleep
Anxiety reduction CBD is known for its anxiolytic properties. By reducing anxiety, it can help calm your mind, making it easier to fall asleep.
Pain relief CBD's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties can relieve pain, making sleep more comfortable and restful.
Regulation of the sleep-wake cycleCBD can influence sleep cycles by interacting with the receptors of the endocannabinoid system. It regulates sleep phases, stimulating hormones such as melatonin and limiting nocturnal awakenings.
Create a sleep routine to optimize the effects of CBD oil
Many people suffer from sleep disorders - around 36% of the population in the United-Kingdom. A night-time routine before going to bed allows the brain to prepare itself, reduce demands and produce the chemical exchanges necessary for sleep, such as melatonin. To maximize the benefits of CBD oil, you'll need to integrate a regular sleep routine:
- Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.
- Limit exposure to screens to at least one hour before bedtime.
- Create a sleep-inducing environment with a dark, quiet and cool bedroom.
- Practice deep breathing or meditation exercises to calm the mind before bedtime.
- Reading and journaling are calm, sleep-inducing activities.
- Choose light, healthy meals for the evening.
- Finally, regular exercise can improve sleep quality, but avoid intense physical activity just before bedtime.
CBD can take time to show its effects, especially if you're just starting out. Be patient and adjust the dosage gradually to find what works best for you. Mama offers a wide range of CBD oils to help you get to sleep.
