How to Vape CBD for Sleep

Vaping CBD can help you with sleep. This article explains how to vape CBD for sleep, how CBD helps with sleep disorders, and the causes of sleep disorders.

The term cannabidiol has become more familiar than it used to be in ancient times. Most people are familiar with CBD tinctures and edibles. You might come across the term vaping CBD oil if you are new to vaping. This means inhaling CBD through a vaping device. CBD oil for vaping is also referred to as CBD vape juice. CBD vape juice consists of CBD and other ingredients. Vaping CBD can be a good option. CBD can make you feel relaxed and help you to fall asleep.

Why Do People Have Sleeping Problems?

Sleeping for at least seven hours a night is important for good health.It positively affects all your daily behaviors, decision-making, and other activities. Inadequate night sleep can harm your ability to concentrate on your daily activities and be productive during the day. According to Medic (2017), sleeping disorders can be caused by underlying issues like mental health disorders, medications, physical illnesses, and environmental factors. Karna & Gupta (2020) stated that many conditions could cause sleeping problems, such as depression, insomnia, shift work sleep disorder, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, stress, and others. You can add CBD to your nightly vaping routine if you struggle to sleep because of these conditions.

How to Vape CBD for Sleep

There are two types of vape pens you can use to vape CBD. Disposable and refillable vape pens. Disposable vape pens come with a recharged battery, and you cannot use them again when you finish using the available CBD juice. Refillable vape pens can be recharged, and vape juice can be added to keep using the device. Both types of vape pens are ready to use once you buy them. You are required to place your mouth on the mouthpiece. Inhale the CBD vapor several times, then wait to feel the effect. Using a refillable vape pen can be challenging for some people, but it is easy. Charge the battery, fill the tank with CBD juice, and wait about 5 minutes for the liquid to saturate the tank's heating elements. Waiting for the liquid to fully saturate the heating element is important because some vaporizers saturate it. You might burn the coil if you don't allow the cotton to absorb the liquid fully. You may end up using some money to replace the coil. After the liquid has saturated the element, you can press the power button to switch on the device and start inhaling. Refillable vaporizers have temperature control, unlike disposable ones. Setting your vape temperature to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit can make the effects of CBD more pronounced. Englund et al. (2021) showed that CBD takes about 20 minutes for you to start feeling the effect. For some, it can take a little longer. Vaping CBD 20 minutes to 1 hour before bet time can help you with sleep.

Vaping allows CBD to enter your system faster than other methods of taking CBD. However, there is little research done on CBD vaping. After vaping, the effect of CBD will be affected by your weight, the extent of your sleeping problems, and your unique body chemistry. It is important to note that CBD does not work the same way in our bodies after vaping.

Different methods of consuming CBD have different levels of bioavailability. Bioavailability refers to how much CBD absorbs into your body. CBD vaping has a high bioactivity because you are inhaling it directly. Raymond et al. (2022) suggested that tinctures have a 30%-40% absorption rate, while vaping CBD has an absorption rate of 40%-50%.

How CBD Help with Sleep Disorders

CBD is a treatment for sleep disorders.

Insomnia

Shannon (2019) showed that CBD could help with insomnia. The efficacy of CBD may rely on the dosage. Users who consume CBD can fall asleep faster, while those who take a higher dose can sleep more.

Sleep Apnea

Kaul et al. (2021) showed positive results of using CBD in treating sleep apnea. However, research on the effect of CBD on sleep apnea is still in the early stages. Sheikhbahaei et al. (2017 suggested that CBD can prevent pauses in breathing during sleep in animals.

Narcolepsy

Some people with this disorder have noticed the benefits of using CBD. However, research is continuing to understand the relationship between CBD and narcolepsy. Vaping CBD is considered ideal for people with a sleep disorder because:

It Does Not Require a Prescription.

Comparing vaping to other methods of taking CBD oil, vapes use fewer substances yet provide good results. This makes vaping an affordable option for taking CBD.

Vaping takes a shorter time to make an effect compared to other methods, like taking CBD gummies that need to undergo digestion. Vaping helps with sleep because it acts quickly against underlying conditions, preparing your body and mind for a moment of sleep. However, if you want CBD vaping to help you sleep, doing it early during the day might not be helpful. This is because CBD's effect takes about 2-4 hours in the body. Consider adding a vaping session before your sleeping time.

Vaping is odorless. CBD vape liquid is also available flavored, giving the user a good vaping experience.

Conclusion

Sleepless nights can frustrate people, especially those who want to avoid the side effects of taking pharmaceutical sleeping pills. Vaping CBD has become a remedy for people suffering from sleeping problems and disorders. Although research about the effect of CBD vaping on sleep is still in the early stages, many people find CBD beneficial to combat sleep issues. CBD vaping is potentially safe, unlike smoking, which is highly addictive. Since most countries' CBD industry is unregulated, you should be careful while buying CBD vaporizers. It is advisable to buy from a reputable company.
