What if CBD helped you sleep better? Sleep is the basis of good health... but it's also a real headache for many people. In Europe, nearly one adult in three complains of sleep disorders. Difficulty falling asleep, waking up at night or restless nights - there's no shortage of problems. What if cannabidiol, better known as , could provide a natural boost to peaceful nights? We take a look at what the science says, the effects of CBD and how to use it properly.
What exactly is CBD?
CBD (or cannabidiol) is a natural compound extracted from hemp. Unlike THC, it doesn't cause a high or alter consciousness. As a result, it is legal in much of Europe, as long as THC levels remain below 0.3%. Used for its relaxing properties, CBD is winning over more and more people looking for natural alternatives to improve their well-being... including their sleep.
What are the most common sleep disorders?
Many people find it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Among the most common problems are :
Insomnia, with difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep;
Repeated night-time awakenings, often accompanied by feelings of frustration;
Non-restorative sleep, when you wake up as tired as when you went to bed;
Anxiety about falling asleep, which can turn bedtime into a tense moment.
What studies say about CBD and sleep
1. A promising study in 2019🧪
Research published in The Permanente Journal followed 72 patients suffering from sleep disorders and anxiety. After one month's use of CBD:
66% reported improved sleep
79% experienced a significant reduction in anxiety
These results suggest that CBD could play an interesting role in improving night-time rest, notably by calming the mind.
2. CBD and chronic pain: a winning duo for better sleep?
A systematic review published in 2023 highlights that CBD can not only reduce chronic pain, but also improve sleep quality and quality of life in patients.
A clinical study conducted in 2020 on patients suffering from chronic pain showed that 53%of them reduced or stopped opioids within 8 weeks, while seeing clear improvements in pain and sleep.
✅ In short: by relieving persistent pain, CBD plays an indirect but powerful role on sleep - because a soothed body facilitates a restful night's rest.
3. What about animals?
Studies on rodents offer interesting insights into the role of CBD in sleep:
A 2013 study conducted on Wistar rats revealed that doses of 10 to 40 mg/kg of CBD administered by intraperitoneal injection increased total sleep time during the daytime period; REM sleep latency was prolonged on days of administration
Other research has shown that, in the context of prolonged stress, CBD prevents the reduction in REM sleep often observed .
In short: according to animal models, CBD could help improve sleep onset and extend total sleep time, particularly in the REM phase. These effects have yet to be confirmed in humans.
