Many Americans struggle to fall and stay asleep. For those with sleep problems, bedtime can be a mix of nerves and anticipation, the combination of which can lead to a continued cycle of tossing and turning while watching the clock slowly creep toward morning.
There are no shortages of sleep remedies on the market. Some people turn to prescription sleep aids to help fall asleep. Unfortunately, many sleep aids are addicting. There also are a host of other side effects, such as feeling groggy the next day or worse — people who take these medications can end up raiding the pantry late at night or making incomprehensible phone calls to friends and family members. Most importantly, these medications do not get to the root of the problem, which can often stem from stress or anxiety.
Others turn to yoga, meditation, hot baths, warm cups of herbal tea and other natural approaches to help them get to sleep faster and to sleep better. While effective, not all remedies are created equal. Yoga is an excellent tool for keeping the body flexible, but not everyone responds to it the same. For many, the experience of stretching the body may be invigorating, which isn’t ideal for sleep. That’s why a growing number of Americans are trying CBD to get a better night’s sleep. Results are promising. In a recent Consumer Reports survey, of those who said they tried CBD to help them fall and stay asleep, a majority said that it was effective.
Some physicians, like Joseph Maroon, M.D., a neurosurgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, told Consumer Reports that CBD has properties that could help some people sleep better. Recent studies suggest that compounds in CBD interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps the body more efficiently monitor the sleep/wake cycle. In addition, research also suggests CBD can help some people better manage stress and anxiety, which in turn could help them sleep better, too. At Wanae, our Calm daily supplement is specially formulated to help our customers better manage stress and anxiety and wake up feeling refreshed.
Not all CBD products are the same, so it’s important to understand the difference between those that can be purchased in a convenience store (no, thank you!) and those that are backed by a promise of quality and purity of content, like Wanae’s product line.
Our products undergo the most rigorous of quality control best practices from farm to shelf. Each Wanae product contains a scannable QR code that displays a certificate of analysis along with its ingredients. This is our way of going above and beyond for our customers, who rely on us to provide quality CBD products.
