CBD and THC are both active compounds derived from the marijuana plant. But CBD does not get you high, as THC does, as THC has potential.
Despite misconceptions about psychoactive potential, It has been proven in many studies that CBD does change consciousness. Therefore, you may feel sleepy, more relaxed, and experience less pain.
In addition, some CBD products which contain a little bit of THC might affect how you feel. So check the labels to know how much the product contains CBD, THC, and both when you shop at a cannabis store.
Does CBD work as claimed?
There is no evidence of curing cancer with CBD as some proponents claim and are promoting.
The reality with evidence is that CBD may be helpful only in some other conditions such as improving sleep disorders, anxiety, sclerosis, fibromyalgia pain, etc.
It has been reported CBD may help people to out from other addictions.
Additionally, the Consumption method and quality of CBD products affect the individual experience.
Does CBD make you sleepy or relaxed?
CBD is expected to affect the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which controls sleep patterns, emotions, and pain. When CBD interacts with ECS, it affects and might improve sleeping patterns.
There are a mixed result! CBD does help improve sleep, it seems that people fall asleep faster and through the night except for some people who have other health problems, like multiple sclerosis, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or chronic pain.
Additionally, people with moderate to severe insomnia did not get the same results as healthy people without other health conditions. Although, they are taking CBD daily, didn’t help them sleep better.
Might be, that they are taking different doses but the results are not the same.
As a result, More study is needed to relate CBD and sleep. No evidence proves that CBD alone can improve sleep quality for all, especially people with insomnia or other health issues.
CBD with THC, and sleep patterns
Study shows CBD mixed with THC and cannabinol(CBN) can help to improve sleep quality, including people with moderate-to-severe insomnia. They pose better results as sleep faster and longer
In conclusion,
CBD can make feel sleepy in some cases, depending on dosage and personal response (body chemistry, tolerance). It can help to manage stress, anxiety, and sleep issues when interacting with the body’s ECS.
