With modern, daily stressors, quality sleep can be hard to attain. As many as 45% of Americans said that insufficient sleep affects their daily activities at least once per week, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
The repercussions of lost sleep are real and can be devastating. For example, fatigue plays a role in 100,000 automobile crashes annually, and causes as many as 1,550 crash-related deaths in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Sleep-deprived individuals also struggle with cognitive issues such as attention, memory, and problem-solving—all of which can be detrimental to their performance on the job. Physically, making a habit of insufficient sleep can cause weathered skin and fuel health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.
The number of CBD products marketing for sleep, calm, and relaxation has proliferated in recent years. Here’s a sample of those offerings, from vegan gummies to tinctures and drink mixes that are pitched to help put both the consumer and their problems associated with a lack of quality shut-eye to bed.

With no additives or preservatives, products contain at most 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and are lab-tested to ensure purity and potency.
