When it comes to optimizing our health, sleep is often the unsung hero. We can drink green juice, hit the gym, and take all the right supplements; but if we’re not getting high-quality rest, our bodies (and minds) pay the price. The truth is, good sleep is foundational. It’s when our systems reset, repair, and recover. And in today’s fast-paced world, more and more people are starting to pay attention to just how well they’re sleeping.
The Rise of Sleep Tracking in Wellness Culture
Over the past few years, sleep tracking has become a growing part of the wellness conversation. Tools like the Oura Ring, WHOOP band, and other wearable devices are empowering individuals to better understand their sleep cycles, identify disruptions, and make data-informed decisions to support rest. These trackers give us a window into our nighttime behaviors – monitoring things like deep sleep, REM cycles, heart rate variability, and recovery scores.
This growing curiosity is no surprise. Research continues to confirm what many of us feel intuitively: better sleep leads to better days. From mood and memory to immune function and metabolic health, nearly every system in our body benefits when we rest well.
Hemp Edibles: A Natural Tool for Deeper Sleep
For those struggling with falling or staying asleep, hemp-derived edibles may offer a natural and effective solution. Many individuals report that cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, and even low-dose THC help calm the nervous system and promote a sense of relaxation before bed. Unlike traditional sleep aids that can leave you groggy or dependent, hemp extract edibles may support sleep with fewer side effects, especially when used mindfully and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
In addition to improving sleep quality, edibles may support overnight recovery, particularly when paired with a healthy lifestyle. For individuals who are active, managing stress, or recovering from illness or injury, this added benefit is a game-changer. Some cannabinoids have anti-inflammatory properties, which may enhance the body’s repair processes during deep sleep.
Understand what non-cannabis ingredients are added
Many edible products will have a few other ingredients other than the cannabinoids from hemp oil to include a carrier oil (to assist with absorption), natural flavoring, gelling agents (for edible gummies), natural coloring, and/or citric acid (preservative. However, you may recall advertisements for CBD products that promote “best for sleep”. Typically, these claims can be made if: (a) Research supports the claim for the specific cannabinoid or (b) The product includes an ingredient, other than what has been listed above, which has been researched to affect the normal functioning of the body in that way.
If a CBD product is labeled for sleep, then it may include Melatonin, L-theanine, or Valerian Root. CBD has researched sleep benefits of its own, but may work synergistically with these added ingredients for an additional boost. Before purchasing, understand what ingredients have been added and if those are right for you.
