Sleep problems: causes and treatments
CBD is a real hit with insomniacs and poor sleepers because it is able to of acting on the root causes of certain sleep disorders in the same way as traditional sleeping pills, without the side effects and addiction.
Sleep disorders: forms of insomnia that CBD can potentially treat
There are 3 main groups of sleep disorders [1] :
- Dyssomnia Insomnia: occasional or chronic insomnia, hypersomnia, circadian rhythm disorders (deregulated internal clock);
- Parasomnias Sleepwalking, night terrors, enuresis, sleep apnea, sleep paralysis, etc. ... ;
- And disorders associated with psychiatric condition (depression, manic-depressive psychosis), neurological (Parkinson's, migraines, restless legs syndrome, etc.) or chronic chronic pain (fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, etc.).
To date, the effects of CBD on sleep quality have been studied mainly in patients suffering from dyssomnias or sleep problems related to chronic painthe two most common forms of sleep disorders.
Causes of poor quality sleep
As we all know, sleep quality is intrinsically linked to to a healthy lifestyle Diet, exercise and exposure to screens are key factors that can be influenced.
But more often than not, the underlying problem at the root of insomnia is stress and anxiety. In fact, it's sometimes difficult to know which came first, insomnia or stress!
In fact, stress and anxiety are both are both causes and consequences of poor sleep. That's why treatments with a similar mode of action are prescribed for both.
Existing treatments and solutions
The first step to restoring quality sleep is :
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle Eat light in the evening, avoid alcohol and coffee, and avoid blue light from screens;
- Remove all disruptive elements phone notifications, light, noise, etc. ;
- and ritualize bedtime You can go to bed at the same time, meditate or listen to soothing music.
If the problem persists, it is possible to undergo behavioral and cognitive therapy (CBT) or relaxation sessions.
As a last resort, we then prescribe sleeping pills (known as hypnotics), including benzodiazepines (also known as anxiolytics), which are positive modulators of the GABA receptors: they inhibit the action of the central nervous system, inducing a state of relaxation conducive to sleep.
But this type of treatment causes habit-forming as well as undesirable side effects, which is why more and more people are reluctant to use them, preferring to turn to more natural alternatives such as :
- CBD oil ;
- Food supplements containing melatonin (sleep hormone) and/or amino acids that promote its synthesis;
Some medicinal plants such as verbena, linden and valerian.
CBD for sleep and sleep promotion: modes of action
CBD owes its virtues to its action on our endocannabinoid systema network of receptors (CB1, CB2, TRPV) distributed throughout the body, whose role is to ensure a state of general homeostasis.
"Homeostasis is a phenomenon whereby a key factor (e.g. temperature) is maintained around a value that is beneficial for the system under consideration, thanks to a regulatory process"(Wikipedia definition)
In other words, the role of the endocannabinoid system is to keep us healthy. From this interaction flow many of the potentially health-promoting properties of CBD and other cannabinoids.
CBD's anxiolytic properties and tranquilizing action
Certain receptors of our endocannabinoid system are located in the brain. Their role is to ensure homeostasis in the central nervous system, and they regulate the synthesis of a number of key neurotransmitters. key neurotransmittersincluding serotonin [2] and GABA [3].
- Serotoninknown as the happiness hormone, induces a feeling of serenity. It is also linked to the synthesis of melatoninthe hormone that induces sleep;
- As for GABAhas a tranquilizing effect, helping to induce sleep.
Although the mechanism of action of CBD on these two neurotransmitters is not yet understood, the studies carried out are particularly encouraging. In fact, many people use CBD to reduce anxiety.
One of them [3] studied 72 people: 47 with chronic stress and 25 with a sleep disorder. After one month of CBD oil treatment, 79.2% reported feeling less stressed on a daily basis, while 66.7% reported a better quality of sleep.
Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties
As mentioned above, some people suffer from insomnia due to chronic pain caused by illnesses such as fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or osteoarthritis.
In this case, CBD could also prove effective since it would be able to :
- Limiting the inflammatory response of immune system cells by acting on glucose synthesis, which is linked to the synthesis of inflammatory substances. [4]
- Limiting the flow of pain messages via its action on our central and peripheral nervous systems, as traditional analgesics do. [5]
For example, taking CBD could relieve people suffering from chronic pain (muscular or articular) and thus help them sleep better.
