When should I take CBD for sleep?

Take CBD 30-60 minutes before bed. For sublingual oils, hold under the tongue for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. This allows faster absorption than swallowing immediately.

Will CBD make me groggy in the morning?

Most people don't experience morning grogginess with appropriate doses. If you do feel groggy, try reducing your dose. Unlike THC, CBD is not intoxicating.

Should I use CBD with melatonin?

Many sleep-focused CBD products include melatonin. This combination can be effective, but start with CBD alone to understand its effects before adding melatonin.

How long until I see results?

Some people notice improved sleep the first night, while others need 1-2 weeks of consistent use. Keep a sleep journal to track your progress and adjust dosing as needed.
