Cannabis for sleep: what does science say?
A review of studies on Cannabis for sleep has focused on summarizing the modulatory effects of cannabinoids on sleep physiology and to provide a critical evaluation of the research on their potential therapeutic benefit in various types of sleep disorders, and the results indicate a therapeutic role of cannabinoids in the management of certain sleep disorders.
The first study we share documents The effectiveness of CBD in supporting the body in cases of sleep disorders related to anxiety. In a sample of 72 adults with anxiety disorders and sleep disorders, CBD had a calming effect, and after one month of use, both disorders significantly decreased. Additionally, CBD proved to be a well-tolerated and very promising active ingredient to help with sleep disorders related to anxiety.
Another study on Cannabis and sleep has shown that CBD can be support the body in case of REM sleep disorder and help in case of excessive daytime sleepiness. Nabilone, on the other hand, a synthetic cannabinoid, is able to interact with serotonin receptors and provides temporary relief in all cases of sleep apnea.
The Journal of Cannabis Research has conducted a research on the effects of CBD on sleep through a survey answered by 387 CBD users. The survey consisted of 20 questions that included basic demographic data, methods of CBD use, reasons for use, and effects on anxiety, stress, and sleep.
Almost 40% of the people who took the test reported sleeping better, and more than 20% said they slept more deeply.
Also the Sleep Foundation recommends CBD to support the body in case of sleep disorders and a study on sleep quality has shown that cannabidiol can lead to significant improvements in a safe and natural way.
CBD and sleep: a medical opinion
To delve deeper into the topic of CBD and sleep, we interviewed Dr. Lorenzo Calvi, a medical doctor specialized in anesthesia, resuscitation, pain therapy, and pharmacology. The doctor Calvi told us that when patients start taking CBD, for example for chronic pain, they begin to notice benefits. Among the first is precisely the positive effect on sleep quality.
As we know, CBD is able to interact with our endocannabinoid system, a system that regulates various functions of the human body. When the endocannabinoid system receives an external signal, in this case provided by CBD, it adjusts accordingly to restore homeostasis.
A judging by patient feedback, the endocannabinoid system's first reaction to the CBD signal is to almost instantly rebalance the sleep-wake cycle.
How does CBD affect sleep?
The doctor Calvi explained to us that cannabidiol acts on various systems of our body, the most sensitive to its signal being the central and peripheral nervous systems and the immune system. The central nervous system is precisely what allows us to fall asleep, so there is a direct action by CBD. Furthermore, the doctor points out that CBD's characteristic of relaxing muscles, as if it were a muscle relaxant, helps to relax the body and gently ease into sleep. Cannabidiol acts on the GABAergic system just like benzodiazepines do, but unlike the latter, it does not cause any chemical alteration and stimulates it, promoting sleep onset. According to Calvi, its strength lies in always remaining harmless to our body, without altering its functions or chemical mechanisms, as can happen with some medications used for sleep. Although CBD improves sleep quality, it never has a sedative effect, precisely because of its gentle and natural action.
Which CBD oil for sleeping?
For sleep, it is advisable to use a CBD oil that also contains melatonin, in order to promote not only falling asleep but also the restoration of the sleep-wake cycle. This type of product can be alternated with a CBD oil ranging from 10 to 30% to work on anxiety and stress, or you can use a product that contains CBD and natural extracts with relaxing properties.
CBN (cannabinol): the sleep-friendly cannabinoid
The CBN or cannabinol is a fitocannabinoid that is produced by the Cannabis sativa plant in its most advanced growth stage. More precisely, CBN is produced through the oxidation process of THC, but unlike the latter, it appears to have no psychotropic effects.
Long considered a byproduct of THC, CBN has recently been rediscovered and reevaluated. Having become the subject of numerous scientific studies to assess its properties, it is one of the most interesting new cannabinoids in terms of effects.
- Like many other cannabinoids, cannabinol is also able to bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors present in our endocannabinoid system. This process produces various positive effects on our body.
- Working in synergy with CBD in the CBNight formula, CBN enhances its relaxing properties
- A study suggests that CBN could be useful in case of ADHD, that is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, often linked to sleep disorders. During a study conducted on adults diagnosed with ADHD after a high dose of pure CBN, a lower ASRS score (that is the diagnostic questionnaire through which diagnosis can be made) was associated compared to other groups.
CBD and melatonin
CBD and melatonin together are an innovative and effective combination to combat sleep disorders.
Melatonin is an endogenous hormone produced by the pineal gland essential for synchronizing the sleep-wake cycle. This hormone is released at night because it is activated only in the dark. Its secretion stops when a light stimulus reaches the retina, signaling the pineal gland, which automatically stops secreting this hormone, which has very low peaks during the day and reaches its highest peak during the night hours. Melatonin is very low during the first years of life, then gradually increases and decreases again in old age due to the calcification of the pineal gland. The endogenous production of melatonin is continuously threatened by factors such as the stress, theexposure to light sources or simply the advancing of age.
Here is why taking a melatonin supplement before going to bed is highly recommended by doctors and nutritionists.
- A research on the effects of melatonin on sleep, la descrive efficace sia per supportare il corpo in caso di disturbi del sonno primari, sia in quelli associati a varie condizioni neurologiche

- Melatonin is an alternative supplement to the currently available pharmaceutical therapies for sleep disorders and, unlike the latter, it is almost free of side effects

How important is good sleep quality?
During sleep, the body regenerates and restores itself, allowing the reduction of brain activity and the achievement of a state of deep relaxation.
All stages of sleep, including those in which we dream and the more advanced ones, allow the body to take care of vital processes such as energy recovery, muscle repair, digestion, and the optimization of the immune and endocrine systems.
Sleep is not a linear process, but is composed of several interconnected stages. Some people may experience problems in one or more of these stages, but most people who suffer from sleep disorders face:
- frequent difficulty falling asleep
- frequent awakenings during the night
- a persistent feeling of tiredness during the following day
- a significant alteration of the sleep-wake rhythm
To address sleep problems, it is important to consider the individual physiological characteristics of each person, take lifestyle into account, and personalize the approach.
