In the media, on social networks, during a discussion with friends or colleagues, we're hearing more and more about CBD and its benefits for sleep problems. So, can CBD flower help you sleep better? Here's what you need to know.
Can CBD flowers be used to help you get back to sleep?
To find out whether CBD flowers can be used to help you get back to sleep, we need to understand how cannabidiol acts on the body. Based on research, we now know that CBD acts on the body's CB1 and CB2 receptors , which are part of the endocannabinoid system.
Consumption of CBD therefore sends a stimulus to these receptors, which in turn influence our circadian rhythm (our sleep-wake rhythm). Cannabidiol therefore influences not only periods of sleep, but also our state of wakefulness, limiting drowsiness, fatigue and even yawning.
CBD consumption does not have a direct effect on sleep, but helps to regulate it thanks to its sedative effects.. Supplementation with this molecule modifies the message sent to the brain, helping to reduce stress, anxiety and excessive brain activity, which are often blamed for sleep problems.
So it doesn't matter what form CBD comes in, you can totally use CBD flowers to get back to sleep. You just need to find the dosage that suits you, and always opt for high-quality flowers.
Which CBD flower variety to choose for better sleep?
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of choosing the best CBD flower, it's important to know that there are two main varieties of cannabis: hemp sativa and hemp indica, each with their own unique properties.
A CBD indica flower has significant relaxing and sedative properties, particularly for the physical body. This is the most common variety on the market. On the other hand, CBD sativa flowers have more mental effects, as they have a higher THC content. They are therefore said to have stimulating or even slightly euphoric properties (perfect for mood disorders, depression or anxiety).
If you're looking for a CBD flower variety to help you sleep better, then I'd advise you to go for indica flowers. Among the best areAmnesiaBlueberry, Super Skunk, etc.
Side effects of CBD flower consumption
In fact, the side effects that may be experienced following consumption of cannabidiol are not due to the form in which the product is consumed, but rather to the molecule itself. So whether you take CBD in oil, capsule, vapor or flower, it has no bearing on the type and intensity of side effects.
First of all, these side effects are minimal. In fact, very few consumers report having suffered any side effects from taking CBD flowers. In rare cases, however, we hear of a greater-than-usual feeling of fatigue, intensified thirst or a feeling of dry mouth.
Other users have complained of mild intestinal discomfort (constipation or accelerated bowel movements, depending on the subject). Fortunately, for the vast majority of CBD users, no side effects have been reported, so you have (almost) nothing to worry about!
