Sleep is one thing few people ever get enough of. In fact, more than 60 million Americans seem to have issues falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night. And while there are plenty of over-the-counter sleep medications on the market, they often come with a host of side effects and can leave you feeling groggy the next day. CBD from weed shops in Denver can help you get better sleep on a consistent basis. Here’s how:

Relieves Anxiety 
For many people, the root cause of insomnia and poor quality sleep comes from racing thoughts and general feelings of anxiety. Even minor anxiety can keep you from sleeping through the night. CBD has shown great promise in helping people cope with and overcome those feelings of anxiety, promoting relaxation and helping quiet the mind when it’s time to settle down for bed. When your brain isn’t racing with the things you need to do this week and all the instances where you could have said something just a bit more clever, you’re better able to relax and fall into a deep and restorative sleep. 

Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Response
If you work in a job that’s even slightly physical (we hear you, retail workers), you probably go to bed sore and achy more often than not. And those persistent aches and pains impact the quality of your sleep. They make you toss and turn which keeps you from falling into a deep state of sleep. Worse, when they’re severe, they can even keep you from sleeping at all. CBD helps your body respond to inflammation, the primary cause of those aches and pains, in a healthy way. When your muscles aren’t overreacting and swollen, they can recover faster and with less soreness. 

Doesn’t Get You High
Believe it or not, some people who smoke marijuana or use cannabis products before bed actually find it more difficult to fall asleep. Some users experience an increase in energy and creative thoughts after using and that can spell disaster for sleep quality. If you’re inspired to get things done or be creative, your mind won’t be able to quiet down for sleep. CBD, when used in higher doses, doesn’t carry with it the same energy boosting qualities as some cannabis strains. Instead, it helps you relax and calm down. As an added benefit, you’ll maintain the clarity of thought you need to complete the last few tasks you have before calling it a night.

Buying them online or in a grocery store means you’re getting hemp-derived CBD which lacks many of the beneficial plant components found in cannabis and cannabis-derived CBD.
