Insomnia is more than just the occasional sleepless night - for many, it can even become a chronic condition that can have a major impact on quality of life at the end of the day. Can you imagine staying up all night and still having to "wake up" in the early hours of the morning to go to work? Not very pleasant, is it?
And since we are seeing this topic gaining more and more popularity on various forums (especially in relation to CBD products), we decided to explore some of the most common questions that appear on forums for those suffering from severe insomnia.
What is severe insomnia anyway, and how is it different from normal insomnia?
Severe insomnia is a condition in which an individual experiences difficulty sleeping regularly and over a long period of time, leading to significant problems in daily functioning.
It differs from ordinary insomnia, which occurs only occasionally, in its intensity, duration and impact on quality of life, often leading to exhaustion, concentration problems and other serious health problems.
What are the most common causes of severe insomnia?
The causes of severe insomnia can be divided into psychological (e.g. stress, anxiety, depression), physiological (e.g. disturbances in the circadian rhythm that regulates the sleep cycle) and, occasionally, as a result of various treatments and medications.
What are the most common symptoms of severe insomnia?
The most common symptoms of severe insomnia include inability to fall asleep, difficulty staying asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, feeling tired or fatigued during the day, difficulty concentrating, anxiety and irritability.
How does severe insomnia affect a person's physical and mental health over a long period of time?
If severe insomnia persists for a long time and is left untreated, it can also have a negative impact on a person's physical and mental health.
Physically, it can manifest as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, a weakened immune system and pain throughout the body; mentally, it can lead to depression, anxiety, mood disorders and other cognitive problems (e.g. memory impairment).
How does CBD affect sleep? Does it really help with severe insomnia?
There are several reasons why CBD is so successful in combating sleep problems, but the most important are its analgesic and neuroprotective effects. CBD typically affects sleep by calming the mind and body and reducing anxiety and stress, which are the most common causes of sleep problems. The positive impact of CBD cannabinoid on stress and anxiety has also been proven by several scientific studies (e.g. the 2019 study).
The positive effects of CBD drops on anxiety and insomnia are also evidenced by the many positive testimonials from CBD product users around the world.
Which CBD drops and what dose to use to improve sleep?
If you are considering using CBD drops to improve the quality of your sleep, the question is how to choose the right ones. A recent study published in the Journal of Sleep Research in 2021 has provided new guidelines.
We recommend Amber CBD drops, for which we get an overwhelming number of positive reviews and responses when our customers share their experiences of this unpleasant condition.

Researchers recommend a concentration of between 10-25 mg of CBD before bedtime for optimal results. However, individual needs, tolerances and other factors that may affect sleep should also be taken into account when determining the right dose.

P.S. Always consult your doctor before using CBD hemp drops, especially if you are taking other medications at the same time.
