Using Hemp to Sleep Better

By taking care of the earth, we invest in something that is capable of giving back to us with plants like hemp. Hemp is a well-known product of nature with a long list of benefits, and one of those benefits is better sleep. Did you know that many people experience improvements to their nightly rest when using hemp extract products? It’s true! There’s not much that this little plant can’t do. 

Of course, the way that full spectrum hemp extract and broad spectrum hemp extract affects your sleep game depends on how you as an individual react to hemp itself. There are also a few other variables that play into how well hemp improves your ability to sleep, such as the time of day that you take it. For example, if your goal is to get better sleep, consumption of hemp should be focused around the time you’re preparing for bed – AKA nighttime (if you’re a 9-5 worker). If it’s better sleep that you’re looking for and you take hemp in the morning, right when you’re about to get your day started, then it probably won’t work the way you want it to. You and hemp have to work together to make the results happen.

 

CBG and CBN are two cannabinoids present in hemp that may help support better rest. CBN has the potential not only to help you fall asleep, but it also assists in allowing you to stay asleep for longer periods of time. In fact, it’s known for the sleepy feeling it provides – more so than CBD. CBG, on the other hand, is a heavy hitter when it comes to combating anxiety. If you’re one of the many that struggles with racing thoughts as you prepare for bedtime, CBG is just the ally that you need on your side. Less stress = better sleep = better life. 

Along with CBG and CBN, consuming full and broad spectrum hemp may be better options to keep up the good sleep trend. The reason for this has everything to do with the fact that they offer more compounds to engage with the endocannabinoid system. Does the entourage effect sound familiar? It should! That’s when all the cannabinoids included in full and broad spectrum hemp (over 140 of them) work together to produce the best outcome possible.

And the already-present cannabinoids aren’t the only assets that offer benefits. Melatonin should also be taken into account. Combining hemp with a hormone like melatonin that helps with sleep and relaxation, and makes for an even more soothing experience. Because these partners work so well together, we offer CBD + CBN + Melatonin Softgels that will do wonders for those 8 hours that we’re all so desperate to get.
