CBD for Insomnia in Malta: A Deep Sleep Guide
Struggling to sleep in Malta's noisy urban centers? Discover how CBD oil regulates the sleep-wake cycle and treats insomnia. Evidence-based dosage guide.
Insomnia is a silent epidemic in Malta, exacerbated by construction noise, humid summer nights, and high-stress lifestyles. While melatonin is a common go-to, many are turning to CBD as a more holistic solution that addresses the root causes of sleeplessness: anxiety and cortisol dysregulation.
The Science of Sleep and the ECS
The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) plays a crucial role in maintaining circadian rhythms (our internal body clock). Research suggests that while low doses of CBD may be stimulating,higher doses (typically 25mg-160mg) tend to be sedating and anxiety-reducing.
💤 Clinical Findings: CBD vs. Anxiety-Induced Insomnia
A seminal 2019 study (Shannon et al.) tracked 72 adults with anxiety and poor sleep.
- 66.7% of patients experienced improved sleep scores within the first month.
- 79.2% reported lower anxiety levels.
- CBD was found to be better tolerated than standard psychiatric medications.
Why CBD Capsules for Sleep?
For sleep, we often recommend CBD Capsules (like the NaturesLife 35mg Softgels) over oils for two reasons:
- Sustained Release: Capsules break down slower in the digestive tract, releasing CBD gradually over 6-8 hours—perfect for keeping you asleep through the night.
- Consistent Dosage: You know exactly how much you are taking (e.g., 2 capsules = 70mg), eliminating the guesswork in the dark.
