Can CBD Help You Sleep?
If getting a solid seven hours sounds like someone else’s dream, this alternative approach might help.
THE RESTLESS SHIFTING from side to back to stomach to other side, the growing heap of discarded clothing and blankets mounting like a pose of people took up residence in your bed overnight, the T-shirts and towels strewn haphazardly about the room covering every visible sliver of light—it’s a familiar seen for the insomniac. For many Americans, the struggle to sleep is real: In fact, according to the American Sleep Association, 50 to 70 million people in the U.S. have some sort of snooze disorder. If you’re among them, the desperation to fall (and stay) asleep can become all consuming—and keep you up at night. Which is why more and more people are turning to CBD, short for cannabidiol, as a sleep aid.
