HOW CAN CBD HELP WITH SLEEP?
If you struggle to get to sleep at all, it could be that you have high cortisol levels at night, which can be caused by high stress levels. This study proves CBD reduces cortisol levels. If you wake in the night, as many people do, you may need another dose of oral CBD to help get you back off to sleep quicker. CBD helps regulate your natural sleep pattern by communicating with the CBD1 receptors in your brain (the control centre for regulating sleep, mood, appetite, temperature and much more)

WHAT CBD DOSAGE DO I NEED FOR SLEEP?
Some people need a little and some people, say those with chronic insomnia, may need more. So a cup of CBD tea will be sufficient for some and a 36mg dose of the 25% CBD oil may be what others require. As always, start with a low dose and work up from there if you need to.
