As an adult, according to research, we need to sleep for at least 7 hours to function optimally the next day. After all, getting enough sleep is a crucial part of every human being’s well-being, both physically and mentally.
We see that people mainly have questions about pain complaints, stress/tension, but also a lot about the effectiveness of CBD or even cannabis oil against insomnia. Below you can read everything about CBD oil to sleep better.

What is insomnia?

Research has shown that about 1 in 10 Dutch people do not go to sleep early and that an average of 20% suffer from sleeping problems, especially among women.
Insomnia is no fun at all, especially if it happens almost every day and you have to concentrate at work or school the next day. Insomnia can even impact your daily life in many ways.
Poor sleep also entails a reduced appetite and focus, a lethargic feeling during the day and insecurity. If you sleep badly for a long period of time, we can speak of chronic insomnia. Your biological rhythm is adjusted, which can cause sleeping problems.
Causes of sleeping problems
Insomnia can have several causes, including stress and mental unrest, anxiety, hormonal changes, menopause, physical pain, medication use, alcohol, caffeine or physical discomfort. This also applies if exciting events have occurred during the day or external causes such as a place to sleep that is not comfortable or annoying noises from outside that disturb your sleep.
The effects of poor sleep
Poor sleep can lead to irritations and countless additional complaints. The most relevant effects of sleep problems are:
- Concentration problems;
- A decreased appetite;
- Feeling lethargic during the day;
- Feeling irritated;
- A varied mood.
CBD oil and the endocannabinoïd system
As mammals, we each have an endocannabinoid system, a system responsible for a variety of functions including the body’s own hormone production system, sleep, pain, emotions, immune system and much more. Stimuli are transmitted via the receptors (CB1 and CB2 receptor). The goal is to achieve ‘homeostasis’, or to find a perfect balance.

So if you take extra cannabinoids in the form of CBD oil, then CBD oil helps to support the ECS. The body considers the ingested CBD as a body’s own substance.
How does CBD oil help for a good night’s sleep?
However, we cannot tell in detail what CBD helps for. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to do this by law, but our experiences clearly indicate that almost every customer of ours regularly returns for more. How does CBD oil help with a good night’s sleep?
Relaxed mind and body
People who consume CBD will fall asleep faster as the mind becomes calmer and the body can relax properly, similar to the effect of a tranquilizer. Lying awake for hours is now a thing of the past. CBD oil ensures that the sleep-wake rhythm is regulated and if you often suffer from restless legs, you can get them under better control.
By the way, if you have chronic pain or neuropathic pain, you can also use CBD oil for sleepless nights for the calming effect. This actually makes CBD oil a luxury product.
Sleep faster, deeper and longer
The ‘rapid eye movement’ or REM sleep and the biological clock are also affected. In addition to the fact that you fall asleep faster if you use CBD oil, you will also sleep longer in a restful sleep.
CBD will significantly reduce REM sleep and actually increase non-REM sleep, so that you dream less while sleeping and still fall into a deep REM sleep.
People in transition
CBD is also suitable if you are in the menopause and suffer from insomnia. Thanks to CBD oil, the body is replenished with cannabinoids, so that the complaints of the menopause will be less severe. Good sleep is therefore stimulated, especially in the case of chronic sleep deprivation.
Kids that can’t fall sleep
CBD oil is also suitable for the little ones and young people among us, especially if you maintain the correct dosage and method of intake. Children enjoy a deep sleep, especially when it comes to children who sleep poorly. In addition, their internal biological clock is promoted.
A suitable alternative: CBN

In addition to CBD, we also have CBN oil for sleeping. If you do not yet have the desired effect with CBD oil, CBN oil is a perfect replacement.
People are increasingly considering CBD oil for better sleep as an alternative. Research has shown that the right dose of CBN is also very effective against insomnia and stimulates deep sleep.
If you have questions about CBN oil or about the combination of this oil with CBD, we always advise you to request a free consultation.
Tip: Online it is often recommended to use extra melatonin in addition to the correct dose of CBD oil.
Trouble sleeping due to pain? CB oil!
Do you have trouble sleeping because you suffer from (chronic) pain? Then combining CBD oil with CBC oil can offer the ideal solution. CBC oil is very suitable for people who regularly experience pain and whose daily life is limited as a result. It is also completely safe to supplement your daily dose with CBC oil; after all, these are 100% natural products.
Are you still in doubt or are you curious about how the combination of CBD oil with CBC oil can work out for you? Then reach out to us by requesting a consultation.

Prevent sleeping problems
CBD oil is not only ideal if you want to get rid of your insomnia, but using CBD oil to better deal with sleep problems seems to be the perfect solution. If you are a deep sleeper, the oil is just as effective as if you are a light sleeper. You can also use CBD oil to maintain a wonderful night’s sleep. The better the night’s sleep, the more energy you have to concentrate on your activities during the day. You wake up rested and you do not suffer from a shorter REM sleep.
Tip: Try to go to sleep on time to refuel from the day. The longer you sleep, the better you can rest.
CBD oil in children who sleep badly
CBD oil is also very suitable for children to sleep better, since sleep disorders not only occur in adults, but also in the little ones. Children also need an optimal night’s sleep in order to grow properly and the component in CBD is ideal for promoting children’s sleep structure. It is remarkable that the child sleeps longer and enjoys a deep sleep with CBD oil or other supplements such as melatonin.
For children, however, use pure CBD oil with a lower percentage of CBD oil such as 2.5% or 5% and, if desired, gradually increase the dosage until the desired end result is achieved. Do you have questions about using CBD products in children or combining CBD with melatonin? Then contact our experts. We will always be there for you.
CBD oil versus sleeping pills
If you compare CBD oil with a traditional sleeping pill, we can conclude that you are more alert and less sleepy the next day if you use CBD oil for sleep. This is evident from a study conducted in 2014, which concluded that sleeping pills do leave you with a sleepy feeling the day after, while this is not the case with CBD oil.
With CBD oil you are nice and fresh and rested the morning after sleeping so that you can start your day concentrated and alert. This in contrast to melatonin, a natural substance that is also produced by the body itself.
CBD oil and melatonin
In addition to CBD oil, many use a certain amount of melatonin for improved sleep. Melatonin is a natural alternative for people who have trouble falling asleep. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland and regulates our day and night rhythm, similar to a built-in biological clock.
As soon as it gets dark, your brain produces melatonin as a certain signal is immediately given off. Your body produces melatonin at that moment and as soon as the melatonin flows into your blood you start to yawn. When it becomes light again, an inhibition in the production of melatonin takes place and you wake up again.
According to research, you can perfectly combine CBD oil with melatonin. You can take both CBD oil and melatonin together because of the potential to promote a healthy sleep pattern. Melatonin is often prescribed by the doctor.
Side effects
Most people who consume CBD before sleep experience little or no side effects. However, pregnant and breastfeeding women should not use CBD oil. Insufficient research has been done into the effects of CBD in such situations. Possible side effects that may occur with CBD oil for sleep if you take too much of it (high dose) are dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness and drowsiness.
Have you used CBD in high doses? Do not panic! Above all, stay calm. After a while, the effects of the CBD will disappear on their own.
Risks of using CBD oil
You will also have to consider the possible risks of CBD oil for sleep. This is especially true if you also take prescription medications, including blood thinners. If this is the case, it is smart to consult a doctor first so that you can get professional advice. CBD can work against other medicines and have an adverse effect on the body.
How to take CBD oil for better sleep
Are you curious about how to use CBD oil so that you sleep better and deeper? You can preferably take CBD oil for sleep 5 to 10 minutes before going to bed. For the best results against insomnia, you should take the oil orally by placing the drops under the tongue.
The oil can also be taken by vaping, by taking capsules or by making a nice tea before going to sleep. You can always choose to use CBD massage oil to relax your body and mind. Children can best take CBD oil in oil form, but you can also opt for capsules in multiple concentrations.
How do you determine the dosage?
If you have never used CBD oil for sleep before, it is advisable to start with a low dose by taking the oil every other day and to opt for superior quality CBD products.
To enjoy a better night’s sleep, the correct dosage of CBD oil is very important. The ideal dosage can vary greatly from person to person as each person’s body responds differently to the consumption of vitamins and supplements.
The larger the physique, the higher the dosage. In addition to the physique, more factors play a role in determining the correct dosage of CBD oil for sleep, namely the:
- Health;
- Age;
- Tolerance;
- Length;
- Oil-concentration.

Increasing the dosage
Then pay attention to the effect of the oil on your body and gradually build up this low dose as desired. However, remember that when you stop using CBD, your body will automatically restore the balance by catching up on sleep. You can also experiment with different doses first to see how your body reacts to the use of CBD oil.
The ideal dosage for better sleep
The ideal dose of CBD to start with is about 5 mg and can be built up to 3 to 5 drops per dose until the sleep rhythm is fully restored. On average, the dosage for CBD oil for sleep varies somewhere between 25 mg and 1,500 mg per day. You will notice within 5 to 10 minutes after taking it that you start to feel sleepy. Read more information about the dosage of CBD oil here.
Make sure to use the correct CBD oil
In addition to the correct dosage, you must also ensure that you choose a suitable form of CBD oil for better sleep. If the CBD oil also contains a low amount of THC, the insomnia can actually worsen due to a higher THC content. If you are going to buy CBD oil to fall asleep faster, choose a reliable brand and product where the CBD content actually matches what is stated on the product packaging.

- Create a healthy lifestyle, ensure a balanced diet, sufficient exercise, enough daylight and taking sufficient physical and mental rest.
- If you are not very sporty, go for a walk or cycle regularly to relax and to provide extra exercise.

- Turn off the Wi-Fi and all electronic devices and especially leave your phone outside the bedroom. You can also switch your phone to night mode for undisturbed sleep. As beings made of energy, you do not need disturbance during your sleep from devices that do not serve a function while you sleep.
- Avoid watching TV before going to bed. This also has a negative effect on your sleeping pattern. Opt for relaxing music, a romantic book or practicing breathing exercises.
- Empty your head by means of a brain dump: half an hour before going to sleep, write down all your thoughts on paper. In this way you create a calm mind and you also do not give ground to grind when you are in bed.
- Breathing exercises are good to relax you. First, make sure that you are lying properly and that your head is free of unnecessary thoughts. Then inhale through the nose for 4 counts and exhale through the mouth for 4 counts. Do these simultaneously and repeat 20 times.
- Avoid caffeine-containing products such as coffee and cola. Also, try not to smoke before going to sleep.
