Sleep problems: a growing problem

More and more people are struggling with sleep problems. We lie awake due to stress, worry, too much screen time, or a restless mind. Or we sleep, but wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep.

A good night's sleep is essential: during deep sleep , your body recovers, your heart rate decreases, and your mind relaxes. On average, an adult needs about two hours of deep sleep per night to feel truly rested. If you sleep too little or too shallowly, you'll immediately notice this in your concentration, mood, and immune system.

How the body regulates your own sleep – the endocannabinoid system

Our body has its own regulatory mechanism: the endocannabinoid system (ECS) . This system helps maintain balance in various processes, such as mood, stress, pain, inflammation, and even sleep.

The ECS works through two main receptors:

• CB1 receptors: mainly found in the brain and nervous system, they play a major role in sleep, mood and relaxation.

• CB2 receptors: mainly present in the immune system and tissues, important for recovery and anti-inflammatory effects.

When your body is out of balance—for example, due to stress or a disrupted sleep pattern—the ECS can become overloaded. CBD, CBG, and CBGa oil interact with these receptors and help restore this natural balance. This can contribute to better sleep quality and greater inner peace.

The power of CBGa – the “mother of cannabinoids”

The cannabis plant contains dozens of active substances, known as cannabinoids . CBGa (cannabigerolic acid) is the original cannabinoid , the substance from which all other cannabinoids such as CBD, CBN, CBC, and THC can be derived, depending on the enzymes present.

CBGa supports the ECS in a broad way and has a calming and balancing effect. Because CBGa directly affects the CB1 receptor , which is closely linked to the sleep cycle, the body can relax more effectively and enter deep sleep more quickly.

In addition, CBGa has been reported to have shown positive results for lung and intestinal complaints , suggesting a broader health profile. It supports not only sleep but also general vitality and recovery.

Why choose a full-spectrum CBGa oil?

Not only the cannabinoids, but also the plant's natural terpenes and flavonoids play a key role. They work together in perfect harmony – this is called the entourage effect .

A full-spectrum CBGa oil contains this complete mix of active ingredients, resulting in a broader and more potent effect than with an isolated substance. CBD Spain's CBGa 5% oil is a good example:

• Rich in CBGa, but also with smaller amounts of CBDa, CBD, CBC and CBN .

• Contains all natural terpenes and flavonoids.

• Works on both CB1 and CB2 receptors for a balanced effect.

If you have no other noticeable physical complaints, but you do have trouble sleeping, this is the first oil we recommend using.

What if there are also physical complaints?

If, in addition to sleeping problems, you also have physical complaints , such as arthrosis, arthritis or other inflammation-related complaints , then another plant-identical oil from CBD Spain may be more suitable.

The first choice will then be an oil that focuses more on strengthening the immune system and relieving inflammation and pain . These oils also work through the endocannabinoid system and can improve sleep quality, precisely because they calm the body more broadly.

Depending on the severity of the complaints, you can also combine two oils :

• An oil that focuses on physical balance and recovery .

• And in addition the CBGa 5% oil specifically for sleep regulation .

This way you work with two different plant profiles and unique compositions of substances – a broad spectrum of recovery , exactly as nature intended.

We also know from experience that CBD Spain's Black 420 CBD oil is a wonderfully mild oil that shows good results for burnout symptoms combined with sleep problems . Thanks to its comprehensive profile of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, this oil can promote deep relaxation and a restorative night's sleep.

Practical application and dosage

Important: Taking more oil isn't always better. The correct dosage is personal—it's all about microdosing : gradually building up to your ideal amount.

Recommended use for sleep problems:

• Start with 1 drop under the tongue, before going to bed .

• If you wake up during the night, you can take another drop if necessary.

• If you're not experiencing sufficient support, slowly increase the dosage to 2, 3, or 4 drops at a time.

Many users notice a deeper, more restful sleep within a few weeks, even if they don't sleep through the night right away. Sleep quality improves, and they wake up feeling more refreshed—which already makes a big difference in their energy and recovery.

In summary

• Sleep problems are common due to stress, restlessness and a disturbed rhythm.

• The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a central role in sleep regulation via the CB1 and CB2 receptors .

• CBD(a) and CBG(a) oil both work on this system and can thus contribute to relaxation and better sleep quality.

• For those who are specifically looking for support with sleep problems, the CBGa 5% oil from CBD Spain the first choice.

• Start with one drop per evening and slowly build up until you notice your body coming into balance.

Better sleep starts with balance.
