CBD for Better Sleep: What You Need to Know
A growing body of research has drawn attention to the fact that sleep is an incredibly important determinant of health.
In fact, getting less than 6 hours of sleep a night on a continuous basis increases the risk for a variety of health issues, including stroke and heart attack.
Yet despite knowing the importance of a good night’s rest, so many patients you see struggle to achieve quality sleep. Distractions and disruptions keep them awake far past bedtime, while health issues like pain and insomnia prevent them from staying asleep…
And the worst part is that sleep issues are often comorbid with other conditions. If clients suffer from chronic pain, they likely struggle with sleep disturbances. If they struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions, this can also impact the quality of their sleep.
Patients are coming to you with questions. They may have tried other treatment methods in the past…
…or perhaps they’ve heard about CBD from a friend, a coworker, or even one of the dozens of shops in their community.
If you’re not sure what you can recommend, you’re not alone. That’s why Genevieve Newton, DC, PhD, provides a much-needed update on the research on CBD and sleep in the below video.
