All Things to Know About Benefits of CBD & Sleep

The alarm clock on your nightstand isn’t the only clock regulating your sleep.

Your internal “body clock” is the major driver behind our sleep patterns. Sleep is an integral part of regulating your health and immunity¹. Yet, some 70% of Americans “regularly experience insufficient sleep.”²

What if there was a way to give that body clock a nudge in the right direction? That’s precisely what Woven Earth’s Sleep Full-Spectrum CBD capsules can help do. In this post, we’ll explore the top four reasons how our CBD can help restore healthy sleep patterns to get you the best rest possible.

1) CBD promotes relaxation & reduces stress

CBD has been shown to help with general restlessness—and one of the ways it does it is by addressing perhaps the two most significant root problems found in those suffering from poor sleeping habits. Research concluded on anxiety and sleep by multiple universities and health centers in Colorado found that CBD effectively calmed the study’s participants’ anxiety to improve the quality of their sleep³. Similarly, research shows that CBD may “exert a therapeutic effect for social anxiety disorder⁴.” Instead of falling in and out of sleep due to hyperactive brain activity, the compound’s soothing sensation can allow CBD users to tune out runaway thoughts and get the rest their body craves.

2) CBD relieves soreness 

We’ve all slipped into bed after a hard workout or a long day at the office and found it difficult to sleep due to wear and tear on our bodies. CBD’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties⁵ can relieve some of that soreness. Some studies have shown CBD can potentially reduce levels of cortisol³, a hormone that acts as an alarm and can cause us to develop insomnia.

3) Woven Earth adds ingredients for promotion of sleep

In addition to being a full-spectrum CBD product—our capsules also feature a blend of functional botanicals.

Take a look at the label on our sleep capsules, and one of the ingredients you’ll see listed is L-theanine, an amino acid that you might also find in your favorite tea for sleep. Similar to what we know happens with CBD, a published study in the Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism found that L-theanine can mitigate stress and anxiety⁶.

Lemon balm—another ingredient in our sleep capsules—successfully reduced anxiety in participants⁷ in a study published in the medical journal Nutrients. Other additions, including GABA and ashwagandha, have also proven beneficial in producing healthier sleep patterns⁸ while being well-tolerated by humans.

4) We care about quality and the quality of a good night’s rest

Quality means everything to us, which is why we spend so much time and energy producing our full-spectrum CBD products. For instance, our products are all made with organic ingredients and no chemical pesticides or harsh solvents. Additionally, our lipid infusion process never involves ethanol or unhealthy additives but rather the use of organic coconut oil. It all comes down to this: Put good in, get good out.
