Benefits of cannabinoids and terpenes for poor sleep patterns<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n The relationbetween sleep and cannabis is well studied. Evidence shows that hemp has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to improve sleep, and today science confirms the rationality of this approach. Endocannabinoid system is increasingly important target for establishing a healthy day\/night rhythm. The main biological clock in our body is located in a region of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nuclei. This is a very small region of the brain located within the hypothalamus which is located directly above the optic chiasm. Based on the light detected by intrinsically photosensitive cells (ipRGCs), it receives information on the time of the day. This is how our internal clock synchronises and adjusts to the planet’s day\/night cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n Plant-based cannabinoids such as THC, CBD, CBG and others affect sleeping, but several factors such as cannabinoid ratios, dosages, time of administration, and route of administration are important as they influence the effect on sleep. THC is known as a cannabinoid that activates sleeping or a feeling of sleepiness and relaxation, and can help those who find it difficult to fall asleep at night. However, research shows that it does not affect the quality of sleep, and often this drowsiness effect declines over time, forcing users to increase their doses.<\/span><\/p>\n CBD\u2019s effect on sleep is very individual, rare individuals (5%) experience an effect similar to caffeine, and they feel awake and full of energy, but in some people (5%) it triggers relaxation and slight sleepiness. Most people do not sense acute effects, but there is no doubt that CBD regulates the day\/night rhythm in all people, and it helps to establish or maintain an internal balance which also helps to achieve a better night’s sleep.<\/p>\n CBDA is important as it improves CBD\u2019s oral absorption, but it also has a positive effect on a day\/night rhythm balance and production of the relevant neurotransmitters. CBDA also modulates serotonin receptors helping to calm down and prepare for sleep. Especially in periods of high stress, CBDA decreases tension, anxiety, and potential nausea that can occur, therefore helping a body to slip into a healthy sleep.<\/p>\n Lavender has traditionally been used for relaxation, has a mild anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effect, stabilises mood and is a mild sedative. Science now confirms that the lavender\u2019s active ingredients have a range of beneficial effects on nervous system. The most important active ingredients of lavender essential oil are the terpenes linalool, linalyl acetates, cineoleocimene, and camphor. Among them, linalool is the best studied from the perspective of its effect on circadian rhythm and sleep. However, it is important to use lavender essential oil, which contains the full spectrum of active ingredients, not just one isolated terpene, as the effects are synergistic. Studies have shown that both inhalation and oral administration improve quality of sleep, with faster slip to sleep and longer sleep duration. Studies have also shown that the active compounds in lavender have similar positive effects on the body as melatonin, which is produced by the pineal gland during healthy sleep.<\/p>\n Lemon grass essential oil contains terpenes, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, and esters. The use of lemon grass essential oil prolongs sleep time, so this ingredient in the formulation is particularly important for people who wake up a lot. Mircen is the most important terpene contained in the lemon grass essential oil. It has been shown to relax the locomotor apparatus, further helping to prepare the body for sleep and rest.<\/p>\n Frankincense essential oil contains sesquiterpenes, which cross the blood brain barrier and increase oxygen levels in the brain regions around the pineal gland and pituitary gland, both very important glands for circadian rhythms and sleep. The pituitary gland is the centre of the body’s master biological clock, which regulates all our body systems, while the pineal gland produces melatonin, which is secreted only at night during sleep and is crucial for long-term health.<\/p>\n Author: dr.
