Can CBD improve sleep quality?

CBD might offer some benefits for sleep quality, but the data is not robust enough yet to make definitive conclusions. According to Dr. Matthew Walker, a guest on the Huberman Lab, the effects of CBD on sleep are mixed and dose-dependent. Lower doses of CBD might be wake-promoting rather than sleep-promoting, while higher doses (roughly 50 milligrams and above) appear to have sleep-promoting effects. Additionally, CBD might help reduce anxiety, which indirectly aids in falling asleep 1.

However, the actual amount of CBD in supplements is often inconsistent with what is labeled, which can affect its efficacy. Some companies provide third-party testing to confirm the purity and dosage 2.

Further research is needed to better understand how CBD impacts sleep quality and to establish more reliable dosing guidelines 1.
