CBD Cured My Insomnia

I battled insomnia for a long time... until I found CBD.

Here are some studies that show how CBD helps insomnia.

Insomnia is a widespread health concern among adults, especially for women. After doing some research, I learned that one in seven adults experience chronic insomnia, and one in four of these adults is a woman. I myself have experienced secondary insomnia, as my insomnia occurred alongside other health conditions that contributed to it.

My Insomnia

There is nothing more frustrating than being tired and being comfortable in my bed, but not being able to go to sleep. Sleep seems so natural and simple, but for me, it just couldn’t happen. I would do my best to run on coffee and the adrenaline generated by racing to meet daily demands, but the fatigue on my body only exacerbated my other health concerns.

My other health conditions that contributed to my battle with secondary insomnia were depression and anxiety, and I felt like my insomnia was part of a downward spiral with them, and insomnia only caused my symptoms to intensify.

Challenges I Faced

In my mind I knew that insomnia is a common problem to have, but in my heart I felt all alone. I kept denying it was a problem, as I thought it should be a simple matter that I should be able to address and fix on my own. Accordingly, I turned on myself and I became really frustrated with myself. It made me feel lonely. The lack of control to do something natural that I had always been able to do in the past only exacerbated my pre-existing anxiety.

I think that one reason why depression and anxiety contributed to my insomnia is that I had pervasive thoughts and worries when going to bed, where I simply could not shut my mind off in order to go to sleep. Anxiety from the day would develop into tension I could not release when it was time to rest and forget about the day. Identifying that I had anxiety and depression was half the battle, and then understanding that it was causing my insomnia was a big breakthrough or turning point.

The Solution I Found

I had tried prescription medications for depression and anxiety, but I found the side effects of being on medication to be of equal weight with the benefits. Then I tried CBD oil after reading about the various ways it helps improve sleep, and it made a world of difference. CBD oil calmed me and helped ease my anxiety so I could sleep. Better sleep helped in turn with my daily ability to manage anxiety and stressors that had kept me tossing and turning at night. While depression had been a factor for me prior to my having insomnia, getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, in my opinion, helped replenish and restore my mind at night, so I became stronger and felt less empty and depleted during the day. When people with insomnia are 10 times more likely to have depression and 17 times more likely to have anxiety, results like mine cannot be ignored. This natural remedy has restored my sleep life.

In spite of some controversy surrounding CBD oil, the results and efficacy of this substance cannot be ignored. Don’t settle for insomnia when there are viable solutions within your reach.
