How CBD can rebalance your internal clock and improve your sleep
🤯 The circadian cycle, an underestimated regulator
Did you know that more than a third of the population regularly has trouble falling asleep or getting a truly restful night's rest? What if the key to better sleep lay in our own internal clock, the circadian cycle, supported by an increasingly studied natural molecule: CBD?
Get ready to discover how a substance derived from hemp could reset your sleep-wake rhythm and change your nights.
😰 Why sleep disorders are a real problem
Restless nights and insomnia are more than just inconveniences. They have major repercussions on :
Mental health: anxiety, irritability, difficulty concentrating.
Physical well-being: increased risk of cardiovascular disease, weakened immune system.
Social and professional life: lack of motivation, lower productivity, strained relationships.
In short, disturbed sleep quickly becomes a vicious circle that impacts all spheres of life. And behind these too-short nights often lies a deregulated circadian cycle - the internal biological clock that dictates our sleep-wake rhythm.
🔬 What science says about CBD and the circadian cycle
To understand CBD's potential role, we first need to look at the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors found throughout the body, including the brain, which plays a role in regulating sleep, mood and stress.
Sleep-wake rhythm regulation
A study published in Current Neuropharmacology (2017) highlights that CBD could influence daytime alertness and thus improve sleep quality at night. Full link: https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5569602/Anxiolytic effect and improved sleepiness
In a large case study (2019), researchers found that CBD had potential effects on reducing anxiety, making it easier to fall asleep. Full link: https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6326553/Interaction with circadian regulation
According to a scientific review published in Sleep Medicine Reviews (2016), the endocannabinoid system contributes to the modulation of the circadian cycle, and the introduction of cannabinoids like CBD could help synchronize or stabilize this rhythm.

Another publication (2017) highlights that CBD could increase the duration of certain phases of deep sleep, essential for physical and mental recovery. Full link: https: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5414724/
💡How can you use CBD to rebalance your circadian cycle?
Choosing the right form of administration
Full Spectrum CBD oils: A few drops and a potentially more targeted effect.
Bonne nuit CBD capsules: Easy to dose, practical for an evening routine.
CBD infusions: The herbal tea ritual can enhance relaxation and mental preparation for bedtime.
CBD balms: Less directly linked to the circadian cycle, but can help relieve pain that disrupts sleep.
Adjust dosage
Start with a low dosage (e.g. 5-10 mg CBD) to observe the effect on your sleep.
Increase progressively according to how you feel, always remaining attentive to your body's reactions.
