I’ve had chronic insomnia for over 3 years. The day I started CBD, was about 4 months ago. Right before that, my option was to try Ambien that I had to pry off from the doctors hands. I’ve not had the guts to try it after hearing it messes with your brain and causes you to have suicidal thoughts.

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.

Where have you read that CBD increases the amount of deep sleep? I have looked into this quite extensively, and never found any information that suggested that.

I think it was this but it could’ve also been some online article.

It would have been nice if he would have included a citation for that claim. I have wanted this to be true for a long time!

Joe Rogan is not a primary source.
