Will Hemp Based CBD Oil Help You Sleep?

Will CBD help you sleep if you’re having trouble sleeping at night?  Here’s my personal experience.  During the last several years I was not sleeping through the night and figured it was just part of getting older, stress, or too much on my mind.  I hated it but since I refused to take sleep medicine because it made me so groggy the next day I just dealt with having sleepless nights.  I’d find myself tired at work needing a 5-10 minute power nap during lunch or mid-afternoon on many occasions.

Sound like someone you know?  Maybe personally?  I can totally relate to it and have for a really long time.  For the discovery, I can thank Dr. Nimphius, a chiropractor in Southlake, Texas.  I have been a patient of his chiropractic clinic for 3 years to help alleviate back and neck pain I’ve had for almost ten years.  My back pain was caused by years of working for UPS and FedEx Ground and the pain would flare up several times a month.  After receiving an adjustment one day I was standing in the reception area waiting to pay my insurance deductible when he shocked me with this statement:  “you know, I don’t think I’m going to be able to get rid of the inflammation in your lower back area.  I think you should try CBD oil because of its anti-inflammatory properties.”  I always assumed CBD was like marijuana and it would make me high and I have long hated that feeling.

“Wait, is CBD even legal in Texas?”

Dr. Nimphius took the time to answer all my questions since I thought CBD was illegal in Texas and most of the country.  The CBD laws in Texas are very murky and it’s just downright impossible to get a definitive legal opinion.   I asked a friend that works for the Dallas Police Department and he assumed it was legal and he even mentioned several stores in Dallas & Fort Worth, Texas that sold CBD.  He was going to speak with the district attorney and get a legal opinion but I dropped it.  I agreed to buy a bottle of CBD oil and on the way, home kept hoping I didn’t get pulled over by a police officer since I knew nothing about CBD oil or the industry for that matter.

When I got home I researched the benefits of CBD oils and figured what would it hurt to try it?  Just about bedtime that night I took a dropper full and allowed it to set below my tongue for ninety seconds and then I sloshed it around my gums for another minute.  Some of the opinions I found online suggested that to be the fastest way for it to absorb into the body and get the most benefit.  I found it tasted like alfalfa smelled which I didn’t mind one bit.

The next morning when my alarm went off the first thing that came to mind was “I slept the entire night!”  An absolute miracle!  I didn’t wake up one time.  My wife asked what I thought and if I was feeling any benefit from the CBD oil.  I replied, “the best benefit I can think of is I slept the entire night without waking up once!  That’s enough for me even if it doesn’t help with the lower back pain.”  Of course, I was highly skeptical of taking CBD oils at the time.  That’s just how I am with all medicine, especially painkillers.  I don’t know what it is about painkillers they just make me sick most of the time.  Figuring it was just a coincidence I slept well the first night I took it again the next day.  MUCH to my delight, I slept the entire night again. I don’t take it every day but if there’s a pattern where I wake up several times during the night I’ll take a dropper full, and it works like magic.  I can’t explain it.  I don’t even try.  I laughingly warn people I share the benefits of CBD oil with that I once labeled myself the biggest skeptic.  I try to prove over and over again it was just a coincidence but so far CBD is batting 100% for all my ailments.

The End Result is CBD Helped Me Sleep Better!

It’s crazy, isn’t it?  Oil that comes from a plant, can have so many health benefits!  I’m not a doctor and don’t proclaim to be one.  All I know is CBD oil has made me sleep better than I could ever imagine and I wasn’t taking it to sleep better.  It was just a bi-product of taking it for back and neck pain.  Thank you Dr. Nimphius for your professional advice.  I couldn’t be happier!
