As many as 70% of Americans don’t sleep enough.

Experts recommend that adults require between six to nine hours of sleep each night in order to be well-rested and have energy for the next day. Getting a good night’s sleep is important for your body processes, particularly for memory formation and maintenance, growth and repair of muscle tissue, and the health of your immune system.

The Sleep Foundation reports that as many as 70% of Americans report not sleeping the recommended number of hours, with nearly a third of the working population getting less than six hours sleep a night.

Quite often, as a person’s sleep debt build up, they begin searching for solutions to help them get a better night’s sleep. Sleep hygiene routines are important, and there are a number of natural sleep aids (such as CBD) that can help.

With CBD becoming a popular natural solution for so many health concerns, it’s no wonder we often get asked “how much CBD for a good night’s sleep?”.

How much CBD for a good night’s sleep? What about CBD + Melatonin?

Between 25-50mg CBD seems to be the most effective dosage for improving sleep, according to clinical trials. Whether you choose the CBD full spectrum (or isolate), or the CBD + melatonin really depends upon your personal health goals. Many customers choose to purchase a CBD product for their daily dosing (for example, morning or post-workout use), and the CBD + melatonin specifically for night-time dosing.

Melatonin is a natural compound that is produced by the brain (pineal gland) in response to darkness. It helps with regulating sleep patterns. When included in health supplements it is a useful, natural sleep aid. Transcending Organics CBD + melatonin contains just the right dose of 33mg/ml of CBD and 5mg/ml of melatonin, offering an ideal combination to take before bed.

It is important to note that CBD tends to have a cumulative effect, so it is important to dose consistently and aim to follow an evening routine to assist you in developing healthy sleep patterns. Some people see results quite quickly, but it is normal for sleep patterns to take between 2-4 weeks to begin to stabilize.

How much CBD for a good night’s sleep? What does the current research suggest?

Initial studies on patients with sleeping disorders have shown positive outcomes, however it is highlighted that not everyone experiences the same sleep benefits when they take CBD. Furthermore, different doses might yield different effects. For example, some research suggests that low doses of CBD can be stimulating, whereas high doses can have a sedative effect.

The quality of the CBD product also matters immensely. A recent study of 84 CBD brands determined that 26% of CBD products contained less CBD that what the label said, and around 43% contained more. It is therefore important to select a reputable brand that implements quality control measures and is able to provide a certificate of analysis. At Transcending Organics, we stand by the quality of our products. We are able to provide a current certificate of analysis upon request.

How much CBD for a good night’s sleep? Will it interact with other medications?
