Matt continues his series on the impact of cannabis, THC, and CBD upon sleep this week with an examination into the intricacies of cannabidiol (CBD), which, unlike its psychoactive counterpart THC, does not induce a high but is recognized for its potential therapeutic effects. While studies suggest that CBD may aid in alleviating anxiety, movement disorders, pain, and addiction, in this episode, our host focuses on exploring CBD's potential influence on sleep quality while examining its biochemistry and neurobiology.
Matt explains that CBD modulates the body's endocannabinoid system without directly binding to cannabinoid receptors like CB1 and CB2, which THC targets. Instead, CBD enhances the activity of natural endocannabinoids, extending their effectiveness. This modulation can promote sleep by increasing deep non-REM sleep, as demonstrated in both animal and human studies. Despite these promising results, Matt emphasizes that the effects of CBD on sleep are complex and dose-dependent, with higher doses showing potential benefits.
