Is CBD for sleep deprivation the answer to restless nights?

There are many people who do not sleep enough hours every day. Wouterson is a sleep coach who researches sleep deprivation for 16 years. Sleep is essential for the processing and recovery of body and mind. Cannabinoid (CBD), a constituent from cannabis, can offer a solution. The drug is not just a hype, but many people have positive experiences with using CBD for sleep as a natural sleep aid.

There are many people who do not sleep enough hours every day. So, is CBD for sleep deprivation the answer?

Furthermore, what about people with sleeping problems or disorders.

These are people who sometimes sleep enough hours, but do not rest sufficiently because they do not end up in deep sleep. For example, this includes conditions like sleep apnea, stress and anxiety disorders.

So, what is the influence of lack of sleep and how is it possible? Can CBD for sleep change the life of someone who is sleep-deprived?

What contributes to sleep deprivation?

Just watching a Netflix series, working out late, sitting on your cell phone for too long or stress from work, are all factors that can prevent you from getting enough sleep.

“Sleep deprivation costs Dutch companies $18 billion per year,” headline AD said last weekend.

This economic ‘damage’ is still so strong because sleeping problems can lead to serious health problems and depression.

Most people with sleep deprivation don’t recover

Wouterson is a sleep coach who has been researching sleep deprivation for 16 years.

He concludes that many people sleep far too little. Adults over the age of 24 need between seven and nine hours of sleep.

However, 24% of people who work, sleep between six and seven hours and another 9% sleep even less. Many ‘short sleepers’ do not function optimally.

Sleep is essential for the processing and recovery of both the body and mind. Moreover, if sleep deprivation lasts too long, this can have serious consequences since people do not recover enough each time.

Is CBD for sleep deprivation better than other medications?

In order to experience a better night’s sleep, many people resort to sleeping pills. Wouterson says, magnesium and vitamin C, as well as a healthy diet, can help you get a good night’s sleep.

However, there are also hordes that grab sleeping pills with melatonin. But this does not help everyone and people can quickly become dependent on these pills.

Melatonin is a body’s own substance. The moment the body notices that the substance is constantly being replenished through the use of sleeping pills, the own production of melatonin is reduced.

Furthermore, there are people who sleep poorly and use drugs during the day. Managers and supervisors in top positions often use drugs such as cocaine to function ‘normally’ and to meet the enormous workload.

Rhythm method vs CBD for sleep deprivation

The most important thing for a good night’s rest is regularity. Go to bed at about the same time every day and get up at a fixed time.

Rhythm does wonders. Make sure that you can always get around 8 hours of sleep.

Are you a poor sleeper by nature? Then CBD for sleep might be the answer. CBD (cannabidiol), a constituent from cannabis, can offer a solution.

Although there is little scientific research, there is a lot of anecdotal evidence. Furthermore, the drug is not just a hype, but many people have positive experiences with using CBD for sleep deprivation as a natural sleep aid.

A few drops of CBD oil can already be enough to relax and experience less stress, pain or anxiety – all factors that can influence a bad night’s sleep.

Relaxing in bed often means that you sleep well and wake up well-rested. Therefore, delving into CBD for sleep deprivation may upon up a new world for those who are sleep deprived.
