Sleep better with CBD for insomnia

In 2022 it was estimated that more than a third of the European population struggled to get a good night's sleep. There are many reasons for this: stress, psychological problems, and worries prevent us from getting a good night's sleep. If this situation persists over a prolonged period, we speak of insomnia.

Healthy sleep is the be-all and end-all if you want to be fit and productive during the day. But many people suffer silently from insufficient sleep or even sleep disorders and search in vain for a solution. Sedatives or sleeping pills numb rather than provide relaxed sleep.

Cannabidiol (CBD), on the other hand, interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system and can, therefore, have a calming and anxiety-relieving effect that supports restful sleep.

What are sleep disorders? - Definition

The International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) produced by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine – the primary resource for those who operate in the field of sleep science – divides sleep disorders into 8 categories:

1. Insomnia

Insomnia goes beyond occasional sleep difficulties. People with insomnia regularly have great difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. And even if they succeed, they wake up feeling all but rested.

2. Sleep-related breathing disorders

This umbrella term refers to sleep apnea or abnormal respiratory patterns during sleep, which lead to low oxygen levels.

3. Central disorders of hypersomnolence

Those who deal with hypersomnia (sleep addiction) spend a considerable amount of time sleeping and nevertheless tend to feel sleepy during the day.

4. Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders

In these cases, the internal clock is not synchronized to the external environment. This causes one to be wary when it's light and energetic when it's dark.

5. Parasomnias

Parasomnias are a group of sleep disorders that cause unusual behaviors during sleep such as sleepwalking, talking, or sleep paralysis.

6. Sleep-related movement disorders

Unconscious movement patterns that occur during sleep. These include sleep-related bruxism, periodic limb movements, and leg cramps.

7. Isolated symptoms, apparently normal variants, and unresolved problems.

Causes of sleep disorders

Sleep disorders put a heavy strain on your daily life, and there can be different reasons why you regularly suffer from lack of sleep. Whether CBD is a suitable remedy to alleviate sleep problems depends mainly on what triggers them.

Sleep disorder caused by anxiety

Anxiety or an anxiety disorder is often accompanied by sleep problems. Those with anxiety or panic disorders are consistently under stress and find it extremely difficult to rest. Thanks to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), CBD can have a calming effect and provide relief.

Sleep disorders due to pain

Severe pain can also be the reason why you cannot fall asleep. Pain keeps the human body on constant alert, preventing relaxation and inner peace. Research has underlined CBD's ability to reduce pain transmission and curb pain perception. This applies to both chronic pain and inflammatory conditions or irritation. Experiencing less pain leads to better sleep, which allows your body to regenerate.

Sleep disorders related to other factors

Besides anxiety and pain, many other factors can have an impact on your sleep. Racing thoughts, daily stress, or problems at work or with your family can be the reason for sleepless nights. In most cases, CBD products will help you fall asleep and sleep through the night.

Sleep disorder Symptoms

Depending on the type and severity, sleep disorders can be accompanied by various symptoms, among which:

  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Insufficient oxygen supply
  • Morning headaches
  • Listlessness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Irritability
  • Waking up in the night
  • Mood swings
  • Forgetfulness

The listed symptoms can be confirmed by polysomnography, a non-invasive procedure that measures physiological functions during sleep.

Sleep disorders diagnosis

Diagnosing sleep problems can be challenging and may require a combination of diagnostic methods. The most common is probably polysomnography. It is carried out in a sleep clinic and involves the monitoring of brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, breathing, muscle activity, and other body functions during sleep.

Sleepwalkers rely on video polysomnography. If you suspect a circadian sleep-wake disorder, you're usually required to keep a sleep diary to record sleep-related information over an extended period of time. In this case, it is also common to measure your melatonin levels.

Finally, to confirm hypersomnia, you undergo a multiple sleep latency test.

CBD for insomnia

Sleep is vital for our physical and mental well-being, and its lack can lead to unpleasant side effects, ranging from poor concentration and migraine to mood swings and eye disorders. Unfortunately, insomnia and other widespread sleep disorders affect a large part of the population.

In this regard, the use of cannabidiol (CBD) represents a promising approach. Indeed, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and other neurotransmitter systems and appears, therefore, to support the regulation of various physiological functions, including sleep.

The ECS is a network of receptors found throughout the body that are responsible for maintaining the balance of physiological functions. Malfunctioning of the endocannabinoid system negatively affects your health, weakening the immune system, for example. Recent research has shown that the endocannabinoid system is profoundly implicated in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. Good sleep quality is also ensured by a healthy endocannabinoid system.

However, CBD does not have a direct influence on your sleep. Instead, it affects your body in many ways, which in their sum, greately contribute to improving sleep quality:

  • Cannabidiol binds with the receptors that make up the body's endocannabinoid system.
  • This stimulation can have a calming, anxiety-relieving effect that reduces stress.
  • You feel more relaxed, can let go of everyday worries, and peacefully slip into sleep.

Users of CBD products, such as CBD oil, CBD capsules, and CBD crystals, consistently report a sleep-promoting effect. CBD makes anxiety fade into the background. The cycle of negative thinking that prevents you from relaxing subsides, and you come to rest.

However, a direct effect on sleep - as is the case with melatonin - could not yet be proven by clinical trials or scientific studies. But CBD isn't the only sleep-friendly component of the hemp plant. Cannabinol (CBN) also interacts with our endocannabinoid system, and studies have highlighted possible anticonvulsant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, and mild sedative properties. CBN is a versatile cannabinoid that is well-suited to interact with CBD and melatonin.

But how can the synergy between CBD, CBN, and melatonin help us sleep better?

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland. It serves to regulate what is known as the body's circadian rhythm and is secreted at night. The circadian rhythm is our biological clock. Adapting to the different parts of the day, it regulates important physiological functions such as metabolism and sleep.

When our biological clock isn't coordinated with the external environment, we begin to experience discomfort. A well-known example is jet lag. But the body's melatonin production is constantly threatened by factors such as stress, exposure to light, or simply advancing age. That's why doctors and nutritionists often recommend taking a melatonin supplement before bed. Melatonin is a safe product, and unlike conventional sleep aids, it is very well tolerated and almost free of side effects.

CBNight, our natural sleep tincture, contains a balanced blend of melatonin, CBD, and CBN. These three molecules establish a harmonious synergy that can fend off insomnia and restore a healthy circadian rhythm, improving general sleep quality.

Benefits of CBD for insomnia and sleep disorders

CBNight is a safe and effective product made from Italian hemp grown according to GACP guidelines. It is a natural remedy that you can use both regularly and extemporaneously, significantly improving sleep quality. Both CBN and melatonin support healthy sleep by leveraging existing biological processes.

CBNight has numerous benefits:

  • It helps you fall asleep quicker
  • It prevents night awakenings and promotes deep and restful sleep
  • It relaxes muscles and mind
  • It reduces the effects of jet lag and the stress generated by particularly distressing situations that disrupt the daily routine
  • When you take it regularly, it helps bring your circadian rhythm back to balance
  • It helps to wake up refreshed and rested, with all the energy you need
  • It can help increase psychophysical well-being if you use it on a daily basis
  • It naturally counteracts insomnia
  • Like all our products, we regularly test CBNight to meet the highest safety and quality standards

How to take CBD for insomnia

If you have purchased CBNight and wonder what's the best way to take it and improve your sleep quality, we recommend sticking to the following procedure. Our customers have had the best experience approaching the intake as follows.

  1. Create a solid foundation: Establish your sleep rhythm and improve your sleep hygiene. CBD should be taken approximately 30 minutes before bed.

  2. Prepare the CBD intake: Before use, it is important to shake the vial containing the oil. Once you've done it, you can draw up the hemp oil with the dropper and place your tongue against the roof of your mouth. This way, you can effortlessly drop the CBD oil under your tongue (sublingual administration).

  3. "Drop" the correct dosage: Drop the desired amount under your tongue and keep the hemp oil in your mouth for one to two minutes without swallowing it.

  4. Swallow and wait: Once the time has passed, swallow the CBD oil with your saliva. The first cannabinoids are absorbed by your oral mucosa, while the rest will be taken care of by your gastrointestinal tract.

  5. Afterwards, go to bed. Relax, drink some herbal tea, and make sure you stop looking at a screen. After about 30, minutes the effect starts to kick in.

How to dose CBD for insomnia

How much CBD you should take for your sleep disorders depends on many factors and cannot be determined across the board. While some people get sleepy from just a few drops of 10% CBD oil, others need a higher dosage to even start experiencing an effect.






















Intensity Dosage to start with
Slight problems falling asleep from 25 mg
Insomnia 50-100 mg 
Severe sleep disorder more than 100 mg



When it comes to dosing CBD, "the more, the better" isn't the optimal approach. Test a low dosage and increase it slowly. Once falling and staying asleep becomes easier, you've found the perfect dosage.

CBNight is a different story. Here you have to choose between the two versions available: Formula and Formula Plus. The latter contains a higher percentage of cannabinoids and is suitable for those who need to manage insomnia and severe sleep disorders.

Also, it is ideal for reducing the effects of jet lag. CBNight contains a lower percentage of cannabinoids and is recommended for mild sleep disorders. It is also ideal for people taking cannabinoids for the first time. The recommended dosage for both versions is 1 ml daily, half an hour before bedtime.

Side effects of CBD for insomnia

CBD is not free of side effects. However, it is rare that people do not tolerate it well. Serious or even life-threatening side effects have not been reported to date. Compared to conventional sleeping pills and painkillers, CBD is a safe approach to managing sleep disorders.

Known side effects of CBD are:

  • Low blood pressure (temporary)
  • Dry mouth
  • Less appetite
  • Fatigue

Testimonials and studies about CBD for insomnia

Many users report that CBD makes you sleepy, providing effective support for insomnia and sleep disorders. One reads that, especially in the case of sleep problems related to pain, anxiety, and stress, CBD oil and capsules noticeably improve sleep quality.


Researchers, too, are aware of hemp's potential and investigate the sleep-promoting effect of CBD. In a 2020 double-blind clinical trial, 23 test subjects were divided into two groups. The first one took a cannabinoid blend, and the second one a placebo for 14 days. The results confirmed the experience of CBD oil users. All test subjects who received cannabis products fell asleep quicker and slept through the night. The majority of participants reported that this significantly improved their general well-being.


In addition, several studies document CBD's effectiveness in treating anxiety-related sleep disorders. Scientific publications attest to CBD's value in treating certain neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy, anxiety, and some forms of depression. A clinical trial involving 72 adults with anxiety and sleep disorders showed that CBD can have a calming effect on the central nervous system, significantly reducing the symptoms of both disorders.


Moreover, recent studies on sleep and cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN, CBG) show that CBD may be promising for treating REM sleep behavior disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness. The Sleep Foundation also recommends CBD to counteract sleep disorders. As for CBN, some studies suggest it may be useful in treating symptoms of ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.


A study involving study subjects diagnosed with ADHD found that the intake of high doses of pure CBN led to lower ASRS scores. In addition, both cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) are thought to have significant analgesic properties. Accordingly, they can help relieve chronic muscle pain, TMJ disorders, and fibromyalgia. On top of that, neither compound causes relevant side effects. Let's now move to melatonin.


According to various scientific reviews, melatonin supplements are well-tolerated and have no negative effects, even if consumed regularly. On the one hand, melatonin has been shown to have antioxidant properties while playing a crucial role in neuronal survival. On the other, it is said to harmonize circadian rhythms, thus improving sleep quality.


Melatonin is helpful not only for insomnia. It also helps manage breathing-related sleep disorders and hypersomnolence. Melatonin is an alternative supplement to currently available pharmaceutical treatments and, unlike them, has almost no side effects.

FAQ about CBD for insomnia

Which CBD oil is the most suitable, and how much should I take? In this section, we answer these and other questions.

The dosage plays a crucial role in determining the effect. For insomnia and sleep disorders, we recommend both the 10% and the 24% CBD oil.

If you use an oil with a CBD content of at least 10 percent, you need just a few drops to get a medium to high dosage. The higher the content, the fewer drops you need.

Sleeping pills should not be taken permanently, as you quickly become addicted to them. Cannabidiol (CBD), on the other hand, isn't addictive and has no significant side effects, according to medical studies.

In the case of severe sleep disorders, conventional medication can be supplemented by the administration of CBD.

The recommended dosage is 1 ml a day.

The dosage must be determined individually. Start with a low dosage; a few milligrams are enough. If the desired effect does not occur, you can increase the dosage at any time.

Between 25 and 50 milligrams of CBD is considered a moderate dose. For severe sleep disorders, a dose of over 100 milligrams is recommended.

In general, it does not matter in which form you take CBD. The advantage of CBD oil over CBD capsules is that the body absorbs it faster.

The oil can take effect after only 15 to 20 minutes, while it can take up to an hour for the CBD capsule to kick in.

CBNight contains CBD, CBN, and melatonin.
