CBD's Potential in Enhancing Sleep Quality for Anxiety and PTSD-Related Disorders
CBD shows preliminary benefits for improving sleep in individuals with anxiety or PTSD by reducing related symptoms, though evidence for primary sleep disorders like insomnia is inconsistent and requires further large-scale trials.
- CBD reduces symptoms that disrupt sleep in these conditions, leading to self-reported improvements
- Inconsistent evidence from studies on direct treatment of insomnia without underlying psychiatric issues
