Do you struggle to fall asleep even after a long hard day? It can be your mind wandering to past or future stressful events, racing thoughts, stress, anxiety, and insomnia, all getting on your way to wind down. 

The American Sleep Association reports about 70 million Americans to have a sleep disorder, with insomnia being the most common one. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, over 40 million Americans live with an anxiety disorder. These statistics indicate that what you are dealing with is a common problem and affects millions of adults in the U.S. Most of us have dealt with sleep problems, stress, or anxiety at some point in our lives. When these conditions linger or worsen over time, they can interfere with our daily chores or work performance and affect our quality of life, so you might be searching for solutions to help. 

Is there a single, one-size-fits-all solution to help? Probably not. But is CBD a promising ingredient? Definitely yes!

Did you know that half of CBD consumers use CBD for relaxation?

78.9% of these consumers state CBD is effective, in the 2019 U.S. CBD Insider Consumers report.

How Does CBD Work?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, isn't medication but rather a supplement now widely available on the wellness market. CBD products combine the famous cannabinoid with additional ingredients based on the product you choose. 

CBD products fall into the following categories:

• Sublingual CBD
• Oral CBD
• Topical CBD
• CBD Smokables and Vaporizers

Sublingual CBD products like CBD tinctures travel from sublingual blood vessels to the bloodstream. In contrast, oral CBD like CBD softgels and gummies first go to your digestive tract and from there to your bloodstream. Topical products work outside of the body in a targeted area, commonly for pain relief or targeting skin conditions, and CBD smokables and vape products travel to your bloodstream through the lungs.

But what does CBD do after entering the bloodstream or absorption into the skin?

When you ingest CBD, whether it's sublingually, orally, or through inhalation, it interacts with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). The newly discovered system (1990) plays a crucial role in many bodily processes like pain, mood, memory, sleep, and homeostasis. It turns out to be a significant contributor to our overall health, so ECS has gained many scientists' attention and is still widely researched. 

The ECS system operates on endocannabinoids – human-produced cannabinoids that act as neurotransmitters and activate ECS receptors when something goes out of balance. CBD is structurally similar to endocannabinoids, so it works by interacting with the ECS system once it enters our bodies. However, it doesn't bind to and activate ECS receptors as endocannabinoids do. Instead, it affects ECS indirectly, supplying the ECS system. 

Topical CBD products work through absorption into the skin and interaction with CB1 and CB2 receptors under the skin. CBD topical products combine varying ingredients depending on the intended use. Many CBD products are designed for pain relief; thus, they feature relieving ingredients like menthol, camphor, peppermint, or eucalyptus. Skincare products usually combine moisturizing and hydrating agents with CBD.

How to Use CBD to Wind Down, Relax, and Chill?

CBD's popularity has skyrocketed, and now there are various CBD products you can choose from depending on what you want to achieve.

CBD with Melatonin

Although there's no one correct way of using CBD, determining your goal can help you pick the right product for your needs. For instance, CBD with melatonin might be the best fit if you want to fall asleep easier. Melatonin is a crucial hormone for our sleep-wake cycle. CBD and melatonin softgels are now popular on the market. You can take them conveniently before bedtime to support better sleep and relaxation. 

CBD Tinctures

If you want to take CBD during the daytime and see quick results, CBD tinctures are the way to go. They provide the fastest results and offer the highest bioavailability than any other oral product. Besides, you can add a few drops of CBD tincture to your morning coffee, smoothies, or other edibles, so it's also amongst the most versatile products.

CBD Softgels and Gummies

When searching for the most convenient flavorless CBD consumption, softgels are best to pick. You can swallow these soft-shelled capsules anytime throughout the day. Consumers with a sweet tooth can indulge in delicious CBD gummies available in various fruitful flavors. 

CBD Bath Bombs

One of the best innovative CBD products for relaxation is CBD bath bombs. They allow you to soak into a CBD bath while providing an aromatic experience and moisturizing your skin with additional natural ingredients. According to scientists' review of 17 studies on warm water exposures to aid sleep onset and quality, a bath or shower of about 104 degrees Fahrenheit before bedtime for as little as 10 minutes was significantly associated with improved sleep quality and increased sleep time.

CBD Topicals

When pain, discomfort, muscle soreness, or skin conditions are causing uneasiness, specially formulated CBD topicals to target problematic areas can help. Instead of traveling through the bloodstream, they work in a localized area and usually combine CBD with various natural and beneficial ingredients.
