When it comes to sleep, both quality and quantity are so important. A good indicator of getting a high quality sleep is if you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day without the desire to immediately reach for caffeine. If you’re feeling like this is a struggle for you, here are 7 natural sleep tips (including CBD) for you to consider.
This may seem simple but you’d be surprised at how many things in your room might produce light without you even noticing. Try and remove all light sources to ensure your room is completely dark. A good rule of thumb is that you shouldn’t be able to see your hand out in front of you. If you can see it, you need a darker room. If this isn’t possible or the moon is shining too bright, eye masks work great.
Love watching movies, being on your phone or reading on your tablet while in bed? This could be costing you a good nights sleep. Try and remove as many electronics as possible. If you can’t go without, try installing a red light bulb. Red light waves are thought to help stimulate the natural production of melatonin which will help improve your sleep. You can also download an app on your phone and tablet that put a red light filter on your phone to help reduce disturbances caused by bright lights.
This wouldn’t be a CBD blog without adding CBD to this list of sleep tips, now would it. But in all seriousness, the first improvement we noticed when we started using CBD was a major improvement in our quality of sleep. Not only were we sleeping longer but we woke up feeling more refreshed. CBD offers a natural alternative to sleep medications.

When you eat large meals, this triggers a cascade of events within your body. One of them is the release of insulin. This can signal wakefulness in your brain and therefore impact your ability to fall asleep. It’s also recommended to avoid caffeine after mid-day.
Try and do your best to keep a consistent schedule and routine when it comes to bedtime. This helps prepare your body to start winding down, relaxing and producing melatonin.
The Centre For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recommends that adults get a minimum of 7+ hours of sleep. Try and shift your schedule to accommodate this.
Although it can vary from person to person, The Sleep Foundation recommends that the best room temperature for adults is 18.3 degrees celsius, or anywhere between 15.6 – 19.4 degrees celsius. If your bedroom is too warm, this is likely impacting the quality and quantity of sleep you’re getting.
There you have it! Hopefully some of these 7 natural sleep tips will help improve your sleep. If adopting all of these sleep tips at once seems overwhelming, start with one or two and go from there. You may be surprised at how quickly your sleep improves. Like we mentioned above, an improvement in sleep is the first thing we noticed when we started using CBD so you may find the same for you. Here’s to sleeping better!
