As we know, not getting enough sleep can have serious consequences, both in the short and long term, with detrimental effects on both physical and mental health.

 

Meanwhile, other studies reveal that 16% of French people have already tried CBD², and that combating sleep discheckouts is the second most common reason for consumption, just after stress regulation.

 

But what are the best CBD products to help combat sleep discheckouts ? In what cases is it best to use them, and in what quantity?

 

In this article, we will detail the different products that can be considered to improve sleep quality and help you regain your balance.

In what cases should I take CBD oil for sleep?

Thanks to their rapid action and their effect which lasts on average 3 to 5 hours, oils are particularly suitable for combating sleep problems related to:

• Chronic pain
• Stress and anxiety discheckouts
• Difficulty falling asleep

CBD oils are designed for daily use. Their dropper allows for precise measurement and easy dosage adjustment to suit your needs.

Which CBD oil should I choose?

Used to combat sleep problems or stress, CBD oils have met with relatively widespread success. The available ranges are quite extensive. For sleep problems, we would recommend three in particular:

CBD oil for sleep, lemon balm and verbena

 

 

This oil is specifically formulated to improve sleep quality. It contains 10% full-spectrum cannabidiol, lemon balm, and verbena, two plants recognized in herbal medicine for their calming and relaxing properties. CBD oils formulated specifically for sleep are therefore particularly recommended in cases where sleep problems are related to stress or anxiety.

CBD-CBN Oil

CBN, or cannabinol, is a secondary cannabinoid derived from the breakdown of THC. It is particularly known for its beneficial effects on sleep. Some studies even suggest it has properties superior to certain commercially available sleeping pills^³ Although these effects remain hypothetical and vary from person to person, CBD + CBN oils  are generally recognized as a good option for combating insomnia and nighttime awakenings.

Full Spectrum Oil 40%

With its 40% full-spectrum CBD content, this is one of the most potent and effective CBD oils in our catalog. Thanks to its high concentration of primary and secondary cannabinoids, as well as natural terpenes, it delivers a pronounced and long-lasting effect.

 

40% oils are particularly recommended for people already familiar with CBD, those who have tried other supplements without satisfactory results, or those suffering from chronic pain.

When should I take CBD oil and what dosage should I use to sleep better?

To combat sleep problems and difficulty falling asleep, it is advisable to take CBD oil in the evening, about 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime.

 

Regarding dosage, there is no universal amount, as it depends on several factors such as weight, individual sensitivity, and metabolism. However, here are the generally recommended dosages, expressed in milligrams and the number of drops, according to the desired intensity of the effect:

 

Objective	Desired dose	Number of drops (20% oil)
Light relaxation before bedtime	10–20 mg	1 to 2 drops
difficulty falling asleep	25–40 mg	2 to 4 drops
Persistent insomnia / high blood pressure	50–80 mg	4 to 8 drops

 

The number of drops above is a guideline. Always start with the lowest dosage and increase it if needed. The number of drops corresponds to the recommended dosage for a 20% CBD oil; if you are using a 40% oil, simply divide these values ​​by two.

CBD capsules for sleep

Discreet, easy to take, and tasteless, CBD capsules are most often recommended as part of a "course of treatment," meaning use over a relatively short period, generally from one week to three months. The goal is to provide occasional support during difficult times, whether mental or physical.

In what cases should I take CBD oil for sleep?

Capsules are an excellent alternative for those seeking a discreet, convenient, and tasteless product.
They are particularly recommended for promoting longer, deeper sleep. Capsules are generally used to combat nighttime awakenings, early morning awakenings, or to improve the quality of deep sleep.

Which CBD capsules should you choose?

As with oils, we recommend two types of capsules to help you sleep better :

Lemon Balm and Verbena Capsules

 

 

Specifically formulated to combat sleep problems, these CBD sleep capsules contain a medium dose of full-spectrum CBD, combined with the soothing effects of lemon balm and verbena. They allow you to enjoy the benefits of CBD over time, while also benefiting from the relaxing and calming properties of these two plants.

50mg CBD capsules

Our 50mg CBD capsules are the strongest in our catalog. They are generally recommended for people accustomed to taking sleep supplementswho are looking for a powerful and natural alternative.

When should I take CBD capsules and what dosage is best for better sleep?

Capsules take longer to work than oils. When you take them, you have to wait for their shell to disintegrate in your stomach and for their contents to be digested before passing into the bloodstream.

This method of administration also allows the active ingredients to work for longer: theeffect of the capsules generally lasts between 5 and 8 hours. It is recommended to take them 1 to 1.5 hours before bedtime.

 

Objective	Desired dose	Number of 20 mg capsules
Light relaxation before bedtime	20 mg	1 capsule
difficulty falling asleep	25–40 mg	2 capsules
Persistent insomnia / high blood pressure	50–80 mg	3 to 4 capsules

 

The table above shows the recommended dosages for 20 mg CBD sleep capsules. If you opt for the more concentrated 40 mg CBD capsules, simply halve the dosage.

Indeed, while resins don't contain specific terpenes that promote relaxation, they do offer very high levels of cannabidiol, which can help some people fall asleep more easily. If you're looking for potent resins, we recommend checking out our ranking of the strongest CBD resins.

When looking for flowers specifically designed to improve sleep and help you fall asleep, it's advisable to choose flowers with a 100% Indica profile.

They are therefore the most suitable for evening consumption.
