CBD Gummies for Sleep
There is good evidence that CBD may help boost mood and improve sleep! This is good news for those of us who toss
and turn at night and have a hard time getting to sleep. You can also get your
rest needs easily met by taking CBD gummies at night. They’re soft, chewy, and,
like our CBD
gummies, come in various delicious flavors.
Since CBD was legalized after The Farm Bill Act was passed in 2018, manufacturers have
bottled and sold CBD in various ways. Some items include:
- CBD oil
- creams
- lotions
- CBD edibles
CBD gummies are one of the latest and most popular methods
to receive your CBD dosage.
Keep reading to learn how CBD gummies provide better sleep and overall rest. Also, we will cover what
dosage you should consider taking before falling asleep.
What Are CBD Gummies?
CBD gummies or CBD-infused edibles are usually made with a
carrier oil, such as hemp or coconut oil, and other ingredients. Our gummies,
for example, contain 99% pure CBD and are dairy and gluten-free.
The compound CBD is one of two primary ingredients found in
Cannabis, the other being THC. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t have any psychoactive
components, meaning you won’t get high after taking it. This is also good for
workers who get drug tested, THC-free CBD gummies will not show up on a drug
test, but will provide you maximum relief.
CBD works by interacting with your ECS, known as your Endocannabinoid System. The ECS is a neuro system present
in all animals and responsible for regulating biological functions like sleep,
mood, and overall wellbeing.
Once absorbed, CBD provides several benefits besides better
sleep. Until recently, you had to consume THC with CBD to gain the full effects
of the cannabis plant. Unfortunately, THC can cause anxiety, which can develop
into insomnia - which is definitely not ideal for a good night’s sleep.
Eden’s Herbals uses CO2 extraction for our gummies, which
preserves the CBD and other vital ingredients that promote sleep. Read on to
see what other benefits you’ll receive besides restful sleep.
CBD Gummy Benefits
CBD is being studied extensively as you read. Congress recently passed new legislation that promotes
massive studies into CBD’s potential. CBD shows tremendous promise in helping
treat the following diseases:
- Anxiety: In one study, scientists found that regular CBD usage reduced symptoms in patients with GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), PTSD, and SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
- Addiction Issues: In a study involving tobacco use, preliminary data suggested test subjects showed a decrease in addictive behavior after taking CBD.
- Skin Disorders: Recent studies suggest CBD may help relieve itching and redness associated with eczema, helping sufferers sleep better at night.
- Neuropathic Pain: A 2012 study examined test subjects with chronic pain. Scientists determined that cannabinoids made “ideal” candidates for treating neuropathic and chronic pain. Because of its potential to treat pain, CBD may also help those with fibromyalgia sleep better.
CBD Gummies for Sleep: What Researchers Say
CBD helps you sleep by enhancing mood and providing a sense
of calmness. When combined with THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), preliminary
studies suggest that CBD improves long-term sleep quality. A 2014 review on
the effects of CBD found that chronic sleep apnea patients showed improvement
after taking synthetic cannabinoids.
Scientists found sleep-affected patients’ serotonin levels
increased after a CBD regimen. Although more studies are forthcoming, the 2014
study also suggested CBD helps with excessive daytime sleepiness and REM sleep disorders.
CBD Gummies and Your ECS
CBD gummies are infused with CBD, an alternative to CBD oil
or CBD creams. Although your absorption rates may differ with CBD gummies,
their effect is the same. CBD gummies work by interacting with your ECS
(Endocannabinoid System).
After around 30 minutes of ingestion, CBD gummies send
signals to your ECS. Once these receptors work with the CBD you will start to
reap the benefits, quickly! Including better sleep and a more relaxed feeling.
Not only does CBD help with sleep it also helps with:
- inflammation
- headaches
- nausea
- pain
- aches and cramps
With the recent passage of the Cannabidiol and Marijuana
Research Expansion Act, scientists will have greater access to funding to study
CBD’s vast potential.
CBD Gummies vs. CBD Oil: Which is Best?
Unlike gummies, CBD oil works immediately. You’ll notice the
effects right away by applying a few drops under your tongue (the optimal
delivery method). CBD gummies interact with your digestive system before seeing
the effects, taking 30 minutes to one hour.
CBD oil can also be used and taken in other ways as well. It
can be used as a topical for skin irriatation when applied to the skin, but
most people will take CBD oil orally through coffee or tea! Another great bonus
of CBD oil is that you can add it to just about anything, from DIY skin care
products, to meals and desserts!

CBD Gummy Dosage for Sleep
If you’re using CBD gummies for sleep, consider using them
only at bedtime. Because CBD provides so many other potential benefits, you
might notice a better result by taking them only at night. Your body may
respond better because it generally takes around 30 minutes for the effects to
kick in.
Take one gummy the first night and see how you feel,
generally, the starting dose is between 20mg and 40mg. If you think you need
more, increase your dosage each night until you find the optimal dose. Our Eve’s Sour Apple comes in 1200mg per bag servings and
contains 60mg per gummy.
Do CBD Gummies Make You High?
No, CBD gummies won’t make you high, given you purchase the
right CBD from a reputable business. CBD gummies, like ours, are made with 99%
pure CBD, making them potent and reliable. Even if you take a full-spectrum CBD
product, there’s too little THC to cause any psychedelic effect.
For CBD to be sold, it must contain less than 0.3% THC, all
CBD should be lab tested and have a Certificate of analysis for proof. The
reason some CBD, like full-spectrum, has THC is what’s known as the ‘entourage effect.’
Cannabis, the mother plant of CBD, and THC contain over 100
other “minor” compounds. When taken all together, it’s thought that these
compounds, including small amounts of THC, work in concert together. Using both
compounds from the hemp plant will provide you maximum relief.
Are CBD Gummies Safe?
Yes. The World Health Organization says CBD is safe and
well-tolerated. Eden’s Herbals extracts all of our CBD from American-grown
organic hemp. We also use a cutting-edge CO2 extraction process that removes
residues and solvents from our final product.
If you’re purchasing CBD gummies or full-spectrum CBD
gummies, the best bet is to look for companies that provide a lab certificate,
better known as a COA. This important document ensures quality and potency. You
can find our THC-Free and Full-Spectrum lab reports by clicking here.
You'll want to make sure to buy only from reputable CBD
companies, such as Eden's Herbals. Check to be clear they use organic hemp,
which is free of harmful pesticides.
