CBD oil helps to helps to relax the mind and body and induce deep sleep and REM sleep. Sleep is imperative to healing
“Cannabis and sleep have a complex relationship that is only beginning to be understood by science. In general, for most people, indica strains are more relaxing and effective for sleep disorders, whereas sativa strains are more stimulating and tend to keep people awake (see more on these classifications in Chapter 7). Several studies conducted between 2004 and 2008 demonstrated the variable effect of different cannabinoids on sleep. In one, 15 mg of THC appeared to have sedative properties, while 15 mg of CBD appeared to have alerting properties. 416 Another tested the effects of CBD on animal models in both lights-on and lights-off environments and found that this non-psychoactive cannabis compound increased alertness with the lights on and had no discernable effects on lights-off sleep. The study’s authors concluded that CBD might actually hold therapeutic promise for those with somnolence, or excessive daytime sleepiness from a not-so-good night’s rest. Another study found CBD to be wake-inducing for most subjects, though some reported better sleep a few hours after taking it. 417 “Many of my patients report either better energy or sleepiness on the same high-CBD/ low-THC plants,” Dr. Michael Moskowitzreported. “Most, however, feel more energy on high-CBD cannabis.”
