5 CBD Products for a Good Night’s Sleep

 This can cause problems with concentration, memory and coordination.

To deal with sleep issues, many people turn to prescription or over-the-counter sleeping pills. But these medications can have potentially serious risks and side effects. Fortunately, cannabidiol (CBD) can help promote healthy sleep, without the side effects of common sleep aids.

THE MANY KINDS OF SLEEP PROBLEMS

Everyone knows sleep is essential for good health. If you’ve ever done an all-night study session, worked the late shift, or tossed and turned all night with worry, you can feel the effects the next day.

Insomnia—difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep—is most likely the best-known sleep problem. But people suffer from a variety of sleep disturbances, such as:

  •  Sleep apnea: This is a condition in which a person has abnormal breathing patterns throughout the night. That person may intermittently stop breathing or have other kinds of disruptions to their regular breathing. Sleep apnea sufferers may not wake up when their breathing becomes abnormal, but they can experience symptoms such as daytime sleepiness or poor concentration.
  •  Narcolepsy: People who suffer from this condition report periods of extreme sleepiness and episodes of suddenly falling asleep during the daytime.
  •  Restless legs syndrome: Also known as RLS, this is a sleep movement disorder that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an urge to move them as you’re falling asleep.
  •  Parasomnia: This is a group of sleep disorders that includes sleepwalking, sleep terrors or other unusual behavior that only occurs when a person is asleep.
  •  Sleep paralysis: This is when a person is temporarily unable to move while either falling asleep or waking up.
  •  Seasonal affective disorder: Also known as SAD, this condition causes excessive sleepiness and depression during the winter, when a key part of the brain doesn’t receive enough bright light.
  •  REM behavior disorder: This condition causes people to act out intense and often violent dreams.
  •  Circadian rhythm disorders: This is a group of sleep issues with an underlying imbalance in a person’s internal, biological clock. These disorders can cause sleep cycles to be out of sync with external cues, such as light and darkness, which tell the body it’s time to sleep.

Many health conditions can also contribute to sleep problems, too, since the symptoms can make it hard to get comfortable or relax enough for sleep.

HOW DO PEOPLE USUALLY TACKLE THEIR SLEEP PROBLEMS?

Because sleep disturbances can have so many causes, there’s a long list of medications developed to treat them. These can include true hypnotic medications like Ambien and Lunesta, along with a number of medications to treat anxiety, depression and other issues that can contribute to sleep problems.

But even limited use of sleep aids can cause a hangover effect that impacts functioning the next day. CBD can be a more effective and less risky option, because of how it works with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a major role in regulating sleep.

THE ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM REGULATES SLEEP CYCLES

The ECS is a network of receptors found almost everywhere in the body. These receptors respond to compounds the body itself makes, as well as those found in the cannabis plant.

The ECS plays a major role in maintaining homeostasis, or balance, in the body’s many different systems, including the sleep-wake cycle and other kinds of circadian rhythms.

The relationship between different cannabis compounds such as CBD and the ECS is complicated, especially as it relates to sleep. Many people say that CBD helps them stay alert and focused. But in higher doses, it appears to help people fall asleep and stay asleep, with fewer episodes of sleep interruptions.

CBD also seems to reduce the symptoms of REM behavior disorder, a sleep disorder that causes people to act out violent or vivid dreams.

And studies have shown that CBD can help relieve sleep problems caused by other health conditions, such as arthritis pain, nightmares from PTSD or the tremors of Parkinson’s disease.

With this in mind, here are five hemp CBD products that can ease sleeping problems and help you get the rest you need.

1.

RELAX PAIN SPRAY FROM BASIC JANE RELIEVES ACHES TO HELP YOU SLEEP

Basic Jane’s Relax Pain Spray is a fast-acting, high-CBD topical that brings relief from the pain of arthritis, sprains, strains and muscle cramps.

Formulated with Basic Jane’s signature blend of high-quality hemp and the soothing scents of lavender, clary sage and menthol, the spray also calms the mind and eases stress for a good night’s sleep. It’s easy to apply and works in combination with other Basic Jane topicals for maximum relief.

2. ACHES VAPE CARTRIDGE BY WILDFLOWER HAS CALMING LAVENDER TO EASE YOU INTO A DEEP SLEEP

Wildflower’s Aches Vaporizer Cartridge is a high-CBD cartomizer that’s compatible with Wildflower’s rechargeable vaporizer.

The cartridge contains 150 mg of CO2-extracted, full-spectrum CBD combined with the calming scents of lavender, peppermint and spearmint essential oils. One draw provides 1 mg of CBD to help relieve stress as well as the aches and pains that can keep you awake at night.

3. RELIEF LOTION BY VERTLY SOOTHES BEFORE BEDTIME

For gentle relief from daily aches and pains, reach for Vertly’s Relief Lotion. It combines 150 mg of CBD with:

  • Organic oils
  • Shea butter
  • Arnica flower extract

Packaged with the calming scents of citrus and lavender, you can use this lotion before bedtime to soothe stress and ease minor discomforts.

4. CALM CBD PEPPERMINTS BY MR. MOXEY’S MINTS INCLUDES HERBAL EXTRACTS FOR A PEACEFUL SLEEP

 Infused with full-spectrum, organic hemp oil, Calm CBD Peppermint Mints by Mr. Moxey’s Mintsare naturally gluten free and vegan.

Wildflower’s CBD+ Relief tincture provides fast relief from sleep-robbing discomforts such as anxiety, and aches and pains.

Getting a good night’s sleep is a key part of staying healthy. But for many, deep, restorative sleep remains elusive. In topicals, tinctures and all its other forms, CBD can relieve the pain, discomfort and stress that disrupts sleep—without the risks and side effects of common sleep medications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oral CBD Products

What makes Basic Jane oral products different from other CBD edibles?

Basic Jane oral products are developed out of one of the first state-licensed cannabis research programs in the U.S. Every formula is designed by scientists with a focus on real-world use, consistent dosing, and meaningful results. All oral products are THC-free — so you get the benefits of cannabinoids without any psychoactive effects or concerns about drug testing.

Do Basic Jane oral products contain THC?

No. All Basic Jane oral products are 100% THC-free and are legally sold under the 2018 Farm Bill. They will not get you high and are designed for clear-headed, everyday wellness.

Which oral product is best for general pain and inflammation relief?

It depends on what you need! CBD Mints are a great everyday starting point — low-dose, gentle, and appropriate for any time of day. For stronger inflammation relief, Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA (the raw form of CBD), which provides an added boost for more significant discomfort. Both work systemically, meaning they support your whole body — not just one area.

What is the difference between CBD Mints and Boost Mints?

CBD Mints contain 5 mg of CBD per mint — a perfect microdose for consistent, all-day support. Boost Mints contain both CBD and CBDA for extra inflammation relief. Think of CBD Mints as your everyday companion and Boost Mints as your go-to when you need more firepower — particularly after a tough workout, a flare-up, or a harder day.

What are Refresh Chews best for?

Refresh Chews contain CBD, CBG, and terpenes, making them ideal for people who want to power through their day with more clarity and ease. They are designed to help reduce anxiety, support focus and energy, and keep you feeling your best without any jittery side effects. Perfect for busy mornings or an afternoon pick-me-up.

What are Passion Chews and who are they designed for?

Passion Chews are designed specifically for women — particularly post-menopausal women — to help them feel present, connected, and in the moment when they want to. They are thoughtfully formulated with women's hormonal health in mind and designed to support intimacy and overall well-being.

What are Night Caps and are they CBD?

Night Caps are actually cannabinoid-free. Instead, they contain a blend of hops (Humulus lupulus) and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) — two botanicals with a long history of traditional use as natural sleep aids. They are non-habit-forming and designed to help you wind down, fall asleep, and wake up refreshed. A wonderful option for anyone who prefers to keep their sleep routine free of cannabinoids.

Which oral product is best for sleep?

Night Caps are Basic Jane's dedicated sleep product and are the first recommendation for anyone struggling to get a good night's rest. Their blend of hops and valerian is non-habit-forming and designed specifically for sleep support. If you are also managing pain that interferes with sleep, pairing Night Caps with a CBD Mint or Boost Mint may provide broader comfort going into bedtime.

Which oral product is best for daytime use?

CBD Mints are perfect for any time of day — subtle, low-dose, and easy to take on the go. Refresh Chews are a standout daytime choice if you want an added edge: the CBD/CBG and terpene blend is designed to keep anxiety at bay and help you feel energized and focused. Both are discreet, minty, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Which oral product is best for workout recovery?

Boost Mints are a great post-workout choice. The combination of CBD and CBDA works systemically throughout the body to support inflammation relief and recovery. Take one to two mints after exercise and give them 30–90 minutes to build. For faster, localized muscle relief right after a workout, consider pairing with a Relieve Cream or Relieve Gel topically as well.

Can I use oral and topical products together?

Yes — and many customers do. Topicals like the Relieve Cream, Relieve Gel, and Pain Sprays target localized areas like sore knees, shoulders, or back, while oral products like CBD Mints and Boost Mints provide systemic, whole-body support. Using both together is one of the most effective approaches for people managing chronic or widespread discomfort.

How Oral CBD Works

How is oral CBD different from topical CBD?

Topical CBD products work locally — you apply them directly to the area of discomfort and they interact with receptors in the skin and underlying tissue. Oral products are absorbed through digestion and work systemically, supporting your whole body rather than one specific area. This makes oral products especially valuable for conditions that are more widespread, internal, or mood- and sleep-related.

How long does it take for oral CBD products to work?

Oral products typically take 30–90 minutes to take effect, depending on your metabolism and whether you have eaten recently. Plan accordingly — they are not a rapid-response product in the way topicals are, but their effects last significantly longer.

How long do the effects of oral CBD last?

Effects from oral CBD products typically last 6–8 hours, making them a great choice for consistent, long-lasting support throughout the day or night.

What is CBDA and why is it in Boost Mints?

CBDA is the raw, unheated form of CBD found in the hemp plant. Research suggests it may have potent anti-inflammatory properties, and when combined with CBD, the two cannabinoids may work synergistically for enhanced effect. That is why Boost Mints contain both — to deliver extra support beyond what CBD alone can provide.

What is CBG and why is it in Refresh Chews?

CBG (cannabigerol) is sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid" because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids. It is being studied for its potential to support mood, energy, and focus. In Refresh Chews, CBG is combined with CBD and terpenes to create a formula specifically designed to help you feel clear-headed, calm, and energized.

Activity and Timing

When is the best time to take CBD Mints?

CBD Mints are designed for any time of day. Many customers take one in the morning as part of their wellness routine, another mid-afternoon, or after activity for recovery. Because each mint is a low 5 mg dose, you can adjust timing and quantity to fit your lifestyle. Start with one and see how your body responds.

When is the best time to take Boost Mints?

Boost Mints are best taken when you need more targeted inflammation support — after exercise, during a flare-up, or when you know a more demanding day is ahead. Because they contain both CBD and CBDA, they are more potent than standard CBD Mints and are ideal when everyday support is not quite enough.

When should I take Night Caps?

Take Night Caps about 30–60 minutes before bed to give the hops and valerian time to take effect. They are designed to help you relax, fall asleep naturally, and stay asleep through the night.
