CBD for Insomnia and Better Sleep

Question:
Can CBD help with insomnia or improve sleep?

Answer:
There is preliminary evidence that CBD (cannabidiol) can help improve sleep in people with insomnia and other conditions that can cause difficulty sleeping, such as anxiety and Parkinson's disease. However, dosage appears to be important. For details, see the What It Does section of the CBD and Hemp Supplements Review (which includes ConsumerLab's tests and Top Picks among products.)

About Melatonin: I used it for about 2-3 months "Natures Bounty, Dual Spectrum Melatonin 5MG, and after about that time I became confused about everything, I could not make any decisions, then I took stock of all the newest medications I had lately been taking; and only Melatonin was the culprit! It took me about 7-8 weeks to begin to stop being so damn confused about everything, and after 3 full months now I'm back to full capacity to make better decisions. It was a terrifying ordeal at the time! Thank you,
Respectfully,
Barbara D.
