Chances are, we’ve all encountered the inconvenience and stress of a restless night and it is an experience rarely welcomed. Sleep is one of the most crucial tenants of optimal health because of the many (and still mysterious) ways our bodies and brains repair themselves while we are unconscious. Studies have shown when we chronically do not get adequate rest (recommended 7-8 hours per night), we have a higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, and stroke. It is in your best interest to take your sleep seriously, which is why we’ve outlined a number of ways to tackle restless nights naturally below.
CBD Can Help You Get More Restful Sleep
You may have heard about the many benefits of CBD, more scientifically “cannabidiol,” the second most abundant cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant, just behind its well-known sibling THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). Unlike THC, CBD is not mind-altering and has gained popularity among athletes and everyday people for its good safety profile and extremely low probability of abuse or dependency. Some of the top uses for CBD include treating anxiety and depression, managing joint pain and stiffness, and promoting relaxation, a very important component in one’s ability to combat restless nights and feel adequately rested the following day.
Restless Night Syndrome: A Familiar Frenemy
Sleep disturbances have been linked to a number of potential causes, including prolonged exposure to blue light from our computers, phones, and TVs meddling with our circadian rhythm, suppressing our bodies’ ability to release melatonin, and, not to mention, the novel anxiety and depression we modern-day humans experience as a result of being consistently over-stimulated. While expectations for cannabis as a home remedy for deep sleep are high, to say it directly causes more restful sleep would be a bit too simplistic. Studies are still being conducted on whether cannabis use (dissected down between CBD and THC or the coupling of both) actually causes restful sleep. However, we do know of the powerful anxiety-reducing and relaxation-promoting benefits of CBD to help create ideal conditions for a good night’s rest.
Tackle Restless Nights Naturally
Believe it or not, several home remedies to fall asleep quickly are available for you to try.
- Make sure your environment is optimized for restful sleep. A dark, cool room is the best place to start to facilitate a comfortable slumber. Consider buying black-out curtains to keep sunlight and intrusive street lamp lights out of your room. Keep a fan and/or AC unit in your room to keep air circulating. If you need a low-humming noise to fall asleep, a noisemaker might be a great addition to your room.
- Prioritize and implement a nighttime routine. About an hour and a half before you’d like to fall asleep, take some CBD in whatever method you’d prefer (tincture, gummy, honey, etc.). CBD on its own can help you slip into a state of relaxation, where pain, stiffness, and anxiety are mitigated, if not gone completely. When our bodies and minds are free from pain and psychological suffering, we can experience a more peaceful state of mind, which is a necessary precursor to a good night’s slumber.
- Consider putting the phone down in favor of some self-care. For you, self-care could look like putting on some chill music and doing some light stretching before bed. Maybe it’s reading a book that isn’t too stimulating, journaling about your day, or drinking some nighttime tea. Avoiding sources of blue light (TVs, computers, and phones) 90 minutes before bed will help CBD do its job of putting your mind at ease.
