More than half of the UK population has suffered sleep problems since lockdown began. We are having vivid, or even disturbing dreams, disruptive sleep, too much sleep, or worst of all, we can’t sleep. As lockdown eases and we are forced into a strange new “normal” with much uncertainty about what the future holds, our ability to counter stress, anxiety and sleep issues may not come as easily as expected. CBD is one solution that may work for you…

CBD, Sleep and Anxiety

Cannabidiol (better known as CBD) is a naturally occurring substance extracted from the Hemp plant. It is distilled so that it is completely free from unwanted cannabinoids, including the psychoactive THC.

CBD can affect a wide variety of our body’s physiological responses. Research has found that CBD helps regulate cortisol, a stress hormone which significantly impacts our sleep cycle. While scientific research continues to grow, anecdotal evidence around CBD is extensive with huge support for its ability to improve sleep and alleviate stress and anxiety.

A study conducted in 2019 tested the anxiety levels and sleep quality of 72 adults who trialed CBD over a 3-month period.  Results showed a reduction in anxiety for 79% of the participants and improved sleep for 67% of the participants.

How do I know which CBD to use?

With a variety of options to choose from it is hard to know which CBD is the right one to use. We recommend broad spectrum CBD which is a mix of all the natural goodness from the plant – CBD, cannabinoids, and terpenes – but free from THC.

Signature CBD have created a range of broad spectrum products that help support specific needs. One of our most popular products is the ‘Sleep Support’, blended with valerian, lavender and camomile, all of which are proven to aid sleep.
