So I tried CBD after a quick research. First night, I didn’t feel a difference. I did feel a bit sleepier but I thought that was just my mind wanting to think that way. But after weeks of using it, I now can notice a calming effect that happens within 30 mins to an hour. And after I sleep, I wake up actually feeling refreshed. Some nights, I feel like I slept for days. It various night to night.
But compared to when I did not take CBd, I am sleeping way better now with cbd. I used to be on the fence about it’s effectiveness but the effects are so noticeable to me now that I’m incredibly thankful for CBD.
And for those that say just take a puff of the real thing, I never got a good night sleep with thc, I may get knocked out but I feel tired waking up. On the contrary, CBD actually increases your deep sleep cycle where as THC shortens it, similar to Ambien. This is a big factor you can’t ignore.
I think it was this but it could’ve also been some online article.
I've also found turning off all you devices ~2 hours before bed and reading a book until my eyes get tired to be of even greater help with getting to sleep quickly and feeling well rested the next day.
The study is simply a discussion prompt.
My query also found [1]. I wonder who else has some insight into CBD.
Edit: since this comment is quite down the discussion thread I would like to promote another topic [2]. It is about creating wearables that are able to measure stress. Measuring stress [2] and controlling stress (this topic) are underlooked things, in my opinion.
