CBD and sleep: product guide and best practices

cbd sleep products

In France, Ameli, the Assurance Maladie website, estimates, according to a survey carried out in 2025, that 45%1of adults suffer from at least one sleep disorder. As we all know, not getting enough sleep can have serious consequences, both in the short and long term. Negative effects on both physical and mental health.

 

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

 

But what are the best CBD products to help with sleep disorders? When is it best to use them, and in what quantities?

 

In this article, we'll look at the different products that can be considered to improve sleep quality and help you regain your balance.

CBD oils: a simple and effective solution

Simple and effective, CBD oil is one of the preferred products for everyday use.

When should I take CBD oil for sleep?

Thanks to their fast-acting properties and an average duration of effect of 3 to 5 hours, the oils are particularly suitable for combating sleep problems linked to :

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

CBD oils are designed to be used day after day. Their dosing pipette allows you to measure precisely and easily adjust the dosage to your needs.

Which CBD oil to choose?

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

Lemon balm and verbena CBD sleep oil

 

 

This oil is specifically formulated to improve sleep quality. They are composed of 10% full-spectrum cannabidiol, lemon balm and verbena, two plants recognized in phytotherapy for their calming and relaxing active ingredients. CBD oils with a special sleep formula are therefore particularly recommended in cases where sleep problems are linked to stress or anxiety.

CBD-CBN oil

CBN, or cannabinol, is a secondary cannabinoid derived from the breakdown of THC. It is particularly well known for its beneficial effects on sleep. Some studies even claim that it has superior properties to some commercially available sleeping pills3. Although these effects remain hypothetical and vary from person to person, CBD + CBN oils are generally recognized as a good option against insomnia and night-time awakenings.

To find out more aboutCBN, we invite you to read our full article on the subject.

Full Spectrum 40% oil

With 40% full-spectrum CBD, it's one of the most powerful and effective CBD oils in our catalog. Thanks to its high concentration of primary and secondary cannabinoids, as well as natural terpenes, it offers a marked and long-lasting effect.

 

The 40% oils are particularly recommended for people already accustomed to CBD, those who have tested other supplements without satisfactory results, or those suffering from chronic pain.

When to take CBD oil and what dosage for better sleep?

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

 

As regards dosage, there is no universal quantity, as this depends on several factors such as weight, individual sensitivity and metabolism. However, here are the generally recommended dosages, expressed in milligrams and number of drops, depending on the intensity of the desired 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 given above is a guide only. Always start with the lowest dosage, then increase if necessary. The number of drops corresponds to the recommended dosage for an oil with 20% CBD. If you're using an oil with 40% CBD, simply divide these values by two.

CBD capsules for sleep

Discreet, easy to consume and tasteless, CBD capsules are most often recommended as part of "cures", i.e. use over a relatively short period, generally from 1 week to 3 months. The aim is to provide occasional support during difficult periods, whether mental or physical.

When should I take CBD oil for sleep?

Capsules are an excellent alternative for people looking for a discreet, practical and tasteless product.
They are particularly recommended for promoting longer, deeper sleep. Capsules are generally used to combat night-time and early-morning awakenings, or to improve the quality of deep sleep.

Which CBD capsules to 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 dosage 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 benefiting from the relaxing and soothing virtues of these two plants.

50 mg CBD capsules

50 mg CBD capsules are the strongest in our catalog. They are generally recommended for people used to consuming sleep supplements, and who are looking for a powerful, natural alternative.

When to take CBD capsules and what dosage for better sleep?

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

This method of intake also allows the active ingredients to act for longer: theeffect of the capsules generally lasts between 5 and 8 hours. It is advisable to take them 1 h to 1 h 30 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 indicative dosages for sleeping capsules with 20 mg CBD. If you opt for more concentrated capsules with 40 mg CBD, simply halve the dosage.

CBD herbal tea for sleep

For those who appreciate infusions, we also offer hemp herbal teas.
These products, made from hemp leaves and seeds, are ideal for people with mild sleep disorders or those sensitive to CBD. Naturally low in cannabinoids, infusions are a gentle, pleasant and gourmet alternative, ideal for enjoying a moment of relaxation.

Who are CBD infusions for?

Containing a naturally low concentration of cannabindiol, CBD infusions are a gentle, pleasant and gourmet alternative, ideal for enjoying a moment of relaxation.

 

They are designed for people with mild sleep disorders who are looking for a little help to relax and unwind, so that they are in the best possible condition at bedtime.

When to take hemp herbal tea and what dosage to use for better sleep?

 

 

Hemp tea can be taken 45 minutes to 1 hour before bedtime.

Preparing it couldn't be easier:

  1. Bring 25 cl of water to the boil.
  2. Add a spoonful of fat (butter, milk or cream).
  3. Add a tablespoon of hemp infusion mix.
  4. Leave to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.

Flowers and resins: which products to choose for better sleep?

CBD flowers and resins can also be a good solution for promoting sleep.
They are particularly useful for people who have used cannabis in the past, who have stopped and are experiencing withdrawal-related sleep disorders, but not only. They are also used by those looking for a natural, effective and affordable product to help them overcome their sleep problems.

Which CBD resins to choose for sleep?

In the case of resins, variety is less of an issue than in the case of flowers. It will mainly influence texture, taste and color, but what interests us most here is CBD concentration.

 

Discover our CBD resins

 

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 better. If you're looking for a powerful resin, we recommend you take a look at our ranking of the most potent CBD resins.

 

 

Beyond the high CBD concentration, such as 3x filtered CBN or CBD hash, some resins combine CBD and CBN. This cannabinoid is particularly renowned for its relaxing and sleep-inducing effects.

Which CBD flowers to choose for sleep?

 

 

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. These varieties naturally contain more myrcene, linalool and caryophyllene, terpenes recognized for their calming, anti-stress and sedative effects. They are therefore best suited to evening consumption.

Conversely, varieties with a Sativa profile, such as Haze, have a more energizing effect and should therefore be avoided before bedtime.

 

Our catalog includes Northern Light, Gelato, Mandarin Cookie and Gorilla Glue.
