Ah, sleep. There’s nothing like a good night’s sleep to feel energized and refreshed. We all need it, some crave it — but many of us struggle to achieve restful slumber on a regular basis.

You’re not alone.

Getting Enough Sleep

The amount of sleep that adults need varies (we’re all wired differently), but not getting enough sleep can lead to irritability, daytime sleepiness, and zapped energy. You may have insomnia if you:

• Have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.
• Wake up too early (like at 3am and you’re ready to go).
• Don’t feel fully rested when your alarm screams at you.
• Find yourself sleepy, unable to focus, and really cranky the next day.

There are a number of reasons for insomnia, including:

• Stress and worry
• Medications (such as those for asthma or allergies)
• Caffeine
• Heavy meals before bedtime
• Poor sleep habits, (more on that later)
• Work schedules

Even aging can keep you from catching those zzzz’s. Older adults often have an internal clock that rouses them earlier, or they deal with chronic pain such as arthritis — that prevents restful sleep.

Know what else? Immersing yourself in an iPhone or iPad at bedtime can keep your brain from slowing down and switching over to a nighttime mode.

Suffering from Insomnia?

If you’re suffering from insomnia, it’s always a good idea to speak with your physician — especially if you’re having trouble dealing with daytime brain fog, irritability, and depression. Your doctor can also diagnose any underlying medical concerns that may be the cause of your insomnia.

Adjusting your sleep habits may help. Experts often recommend that you follow a regular night-time routine and create a dark, cool, relaxing atmosphere at bedtime. You can also try increasing your daily exercise (just not too close to bedtime). Try to avoid quick power naps during the day and steer clear of large meals and caffeine consumption in the evening.

If you’ve tried it all and still can’t snuggle in for some real sleep, here’s another option.

What is CBD and CBN Oil — and Are They Safe?

Drops of Life CBD, is a natural and safe way to help you get some sleep.

CBD is an organic compound that has been shown to decrease anxiety, aches and pains, allowing you to relax, fall asleep, and enjoy a restorative snooze.

Cannabidiol, CBD for short, is derived from hemp plants. It’s non-psychoactive, which means it does not make you feel “high” like another well-known cannabinoid, THC, does; rather, CBD is a natural way to support and balance your body’s overall health.

CBN is another non-psychoactive compound derived from cannabis plants, and research has shown it’s positive effects on sleep.

Both CBN and CBD are safe; however, it’s always wise to consult your doctor before using any sleep tinctures or supplements, especially to confirm how it will interact with prescribed medications you may be taking.
