Let me start by clearly stating that not all people are the same. As a tester, I’m actually among those who are less typical. Completely harmless, sometimes over-the-counter medications make me feel like a decaying zombie the next day. I react abnormally or less strongly to some active ingredients.

Not All People Are the Same!
CBD for sleep disorders has been tested before, but with too little – maximum 60 mg before bedtime. A hemp patient friend explained that these homeopathic dosages can’t possibly work; under 300 mg, no effect will occur. At currently stable prices, that would be about 30 euros per dose.
An over-the-counter sleeping pill costs about 30 cents and still works for me because I discovered that Germany has two and Austria has one over-the-counter active ingredient, and I alternate between them. Don’t pay attention to the package name, but rather the active ingredient and dosage, since only two active ingredients appear in 50 preparations. Unfortunately, common herbal sleep aids don’t work for me, and I no longer react to THC with comfort. I don’t test other substances since I don’t even go to the doctor to avoid physical addiction.
It should be mentioned that last year I slept a maximum of 3 hours at a stretch for weeks and stress levels were high, but this wasn’t due to pill habituation. Due to health issues, performance capacity is limited and everything is more exhausting, but you can’t see this externally since energy is certainly there in the moment, and I have to pay for it in the following days.
CBD for Sleep Disorders Does Help After All
I also want to test some of the 1000 mg CBD CO² extract against pain, which I frequently have in borderline ranges. (And I also don’t go to the doctor to avoid physical dependency.) So on the first day, about 333 mg was taken before bedtime. The following must be said about this CBD extract: I take the stuff from last year and it creates a very disturbing scratching in the throat. Therefore, you should only take a little, wait for this scratching, and then let the rest dissolve very slowly under the tongue. Active ingredients are absorbed very well and quickly under the tongue. With the CBD extract from this year, the scratching wasn’t there, but the taste lingers for a long time and you still have it somewhat in your throat the next day. However, this isn’t bad if you drink a small sip of water.
At least I took it around 1:20 AM at night and must have been asleep before 3:00 AM. That it takes over an hour is probably normal, since it’s absorbed more slowly through digestion than when inhaling. The next day I woke up between 8 and 9 AM, but didn’t get up until around 11 to relax more. The day was exhausting and I lay down for just under an hour in between. This probably doesn’t have anything directly to do with CBD, even though it may have intensified it. However, this should be valued positively: I need rest and must also get into the state where I find it.
Before, I was traveling and afterwards the days always run more sluggishly, just as I constantly have somewhat laborious days or even weeks. Moreover, I unfortunately take sleeping pills regularly and it’s perhaps normal when it becomes a sluggish day with CBD without these other sleep aids at first. CBD for sleep disorders will work for many people at much lower doses and should generally have little impact on the next day. But you can still gather your first experiences preventively on weekends, and as a precaution, an intolerance should generally be tested with too low a dose when trying new active ingredients or preparations.
The Second Attempt: CBD for Sleep Disorders with Small Dose
333 mg CBD therefore worked very well. It should also be added that I regularly go to bed exhausted and can’t go on any longer. Then I lie there for 20 minutes, recover in the process but don’t fall asleep, not even after 4 hours if no aid is taken. So I also became fitter again on the first attempt before I then fell asleep, and since it worked well, I tried taking only 166 mg CBD for sleep disorders the next night.
I was somewhat less finished when I took it around 2 AM, but couldn’t really fall asleep until 4 AM. So I took another 166 mg CBD for sleep disorders and was able to fall asleep quickly. Again I woke up between 8 and 9 AM and chilled until about 11 AM. If I get up earlier, I’m also exhausted earlier, so I’m often not in a hurry. Normally I lie in bed longer, but with CBD for sleep disorders I get up faster, but for the mentioned reasons I was borderline exhausted throughout the day. Road construction or partying would certainly not have been tolerable. Working on the computer was fine.
Again the day was exhausting even though I only worked from home that day too. I lay down again for a while in between, and this is rather atypical but also happens otherwise. Especially after greater exertions for my circumstances and in a typical schedule without really much free time (I’m actually constantly doing something and consider most of it necessary since I’ve already rationalized away a lot), however, this doesn’t seem unusual but normal. It may also be a question of habituation.
With cannabinoids, the medical effect doesn’t decrease even after years at the same dose, but perception can change somewhat. So many patients cope better with THC after they were able to get used to its effects somewhat. This is also the case with some other active ingredients, but with others it’s the reverse: Over time you get sick of them again, rebel internally against them, and get psychological problems!
CBD for Sleep Disorders: Yes or Rather Cheap?
An effective amount of CBD for sleep disorders for me costs about 30 euros and I need it almost daily, so I’m well over 500 euros per month. It’s 100 times more expensive than the other, but far more questionable, sleep aids that work for me. I still cope well with the cheap version, but want to get away from it. Possibly a CBD cure over 14 days or even 8 weeks could help with this, since I could sleep normally before, before they wanted to therapy and integrate me a bit.
I don’t want to be integrated into such a society at all, see it and not me as sick and living in a false lie reality. To solve the follow-up problem, one could certainly consider using CBD for sleep disorders as a cure. Otherwise, however, the cheap version is also sufficient to cope with life, which at least only works with enough sleep and rest.
The following day I didn’t fall asleep after over two hours and had to take a sleeping pill again around 3 AM, but was somewhat fitter the day after.
CBD Against Pain in Advance
A test of CBD against pain should still take place, but when using CBD for sleep disorders, the following can already be said: For months, tensions, sometimes painful, in the upper back area, shoulders, and chest have been noticeable. The problem has been known since childhood but usually only for one day; now it’s daily, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker. During the time of testing CBD for sleep disorders, it was minimally disturbing as usual. Therefore, real pain must be tested again. I often no longer consciously notice lighter problems since I hardly pay attention to them. However, it seems that in the days of the CBD for sleep disorders test and also the days after, nothing or hardly anything in terms of tensions or other pain (e.g., muscles and joints) was perceptible. Possibly the high dose of 300 mg per day is also necessary here.
Pain patients who also use THC have already explained that not only THC but also its breakdown product has pain-relieving effects, and you have to first acquire a level through heavy consumption so that the pain really subsides. (Should have achieved this after two weeks of heavy consumption.) But these breakdown products work for weeks and inhaled THC only works for four hours. So you can smoke a lot in the evening and are also treated during the day. Whether this is similar with CBD, I must ask at the next opportunity. At least the test is several days over and the tensions are back to the usual extent. But just not enough to test CBD against pain.
No Longer Treatable Sleep Problems
Very many people suffer considerably from falling asleep and staying asleep problems, and with going to the doctor you are eventually physically dependent on medication, and the organs take damage and the preparations also have fatal overdoses and become even more dangerous and harmful with „mixed consumption“ with alcohol and other sleeping pills, etc. Against this, CBD for sleep disorders is to be regarded as harmless even in higher doses. Anyone who has real sleep problems, hasn’t slept at all for the second or third night or only slept a few hours and often still has to function in everyday life and work, doesn’t care whether it makes you dependent and corrodes the organs. However, there are also cases where even these hard medications no longer help.
CBD for sleep disorders can also then be the solution as well as relief through falling asleep and sleeping through, and should definitely be tried before slipping into medication dependency. You pay for this with your health and often just push the problems ahead of you without solving them. That’s exactly why I haven’t been to the doctor about this problem yet and am not physically dependent, although the over-the-counter preparations are certainly not healthy. CBD for sleep disorders is in any case the better but unfortunately 100 times more expensive choice. The assumption is that through a CBD cure over months, the problem normalizes again.
CBD for Sleep Disorders: The Advice!
For any ailment where CBD could help, the advice applies: Try it!
However, there are people who consider themselves „cured“ with really small dosages and therefore can’t do anything wrong with under 100 euros per month. However, if you need other dosages, the question always arises whether you can pay for it and also want to. But if everyone did it, the prices couldn’t stay at that level for long, as it will eventually be billed through insurance for certain ailments.
It’s important that CBD extracts with good quality are used, and here the extraction method also matters. CO² extracts should generally be of good quality, since CO² residues could be considered harmless. Drinking mineral water isn’t poisonous after all.
You should first take little on the first day to test for intolerance, which would then not be due to CBD but to carrier substances. (e.g., food allergies.) Then you should try it with small and large dosages to see from when it works for you personally.
But you shouldn’t say: 60 mg CBD for sleep disorders doesn’t work, so it’s rubbish. Over 300 mg CBD can also be taken, but this is the quantity indication of an experienced patient who thinks it only works from this dose, not before. You could therefore also take 500 mg CBD for sleep disorders. But why, if less would suffice, it doesn’t make you high but unfortunately is very expensive?
Trying doesn’t cost that much and is therefore the general recommendation. CBD for sleep disorders helps at least for me, and I think the sluggish days afterwards are only to a small extent attributable to it. For some diseases, this is even desired since it contributes to healing or at least to alleviating the disease. Anyone who tried it for a disease and it didn’t work should try it again for a new ailment. Anyone who gets THC in quantities but also needs CBD should simply combine both as individual products. Nothing more than a staggered effect can happen to you, and that can be timed.
Therefore, many thanks to Stefan and Bianca from Hanf-Zeit, who sponsored this test.
