Many people across the world have trouble sleeping but are reluctant to take medication that can become addictive or result in unwanted side effects. CBD is a natural supplement extracted from the hemp plant, with scientific studies showing that it can be an effective sleep aid.

CBD for Sleep - FAQs
How much CBD do I need to take for sleep?
As each person will react differently to the effects of CBD, it can be difficult to know how much CBD you will need to help your sleep. Different doses of CBD will be required to achieve the desired result, so it’s best to start with small doses and build up until you reach the desired outcome. Clinical trials have shown that the amount of CBD needed to aid sleep can range between 25mg and 1500mg per day, depending on the person.
How long does CBD take to make you sleepy?
A higher dose of CBD drops under the tongue can usually make you feel sleepy within 15-30 minutes. However, when digested with food, this process can take much longer to reach the bloodstream, typically in the region of 40 minutes to 2 hours. This is because when CBD drops are taken under the tongue they bypass the mucous membrane - the protective layer that lines the digestive tract in the tongue.
When taking CBD in this way, you should hold the drops underneath your tongue for 60 seconds before swallowing.
