Early research suggests that CBD can be used as a treatment for anxiety-related disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder when administered acutely.CBD is thought to both directly and indirectly improve a user’s sleep. Lower levels of anxiety through consuming CBD may indirectly result in a user experiencing greater sleep, but CBD directly interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles. While the exact mechanisms are still being elucidated, CBD may modulate the activity of cannabinoid receptors (such as CB1 and CB2 receptors) and other neurotransmitter systems involved in sleep regulation.
