Sleep problem cured with cbd ?

I had sleeping problems since childhood, and lately my pattern was making me dysfunctional: sleep from 11 or 12PM until 2 AM, and then wide awake. I took half sleeping pills for months in order to be able to go to work...

For a few months I have been fiddling around with CBD oil, hoping it would help me with it, and yes: I seem to sleep 7-8 hours per night. And feeling super sleepy, can be from the EMDR I started, but also because thanks to a few weeks of very low dosis CBD, I actually sleep now.

And sleep, I think, is a basic need for life, but especially for healing <3

Anybody else experience with CBD?
 
My wife wants me to look into these oils; I am very skeptical but also want off the pills. I'd like to know what others have experienced.

There's a group on Facebook, I think it's called 'CBD Education' and it is very interesting, plenty of people weaned off meds, or use way less thanks to CBD.
 
I'll check out the group. Do you know if it's a private closed group? I just don't want any of my friends / family seeing if I post there as most of them don't know I have PTSD.
 
Start small. I bought the large size pill and it's probably enough for a week if spread out. I was taking them everyday and although not horrible, I was definitely starting to have problems with dizziness standing up.

I am in love with their stuff. It took about a month of playing with the dosages to get the one that worked best for me, and they have a dizzying amount of products, but I love, love, love it. They have a ton of info on their blog about what cbd oil is, where it comes from and what the difference between THC CBD and just CBD. I can't use anything with THC (that's pot) because of my opiate plan.

I use
drops twice daily - takes a bit to kick in but last longer
a CBD vape pen when necessarily - kicks in fast but wears off faster
Gummies for relaxation and sleep

It looks spendy but they run a ton of sales.

It has dropped my vicoden use by about half. Amazing stuff!

I was literally the DARE poster child in my hometown - my anti-drug essay was posted in city hall and I had to read it in front of the whole school for an award ceremony. I made more than 1 boyfriend stop smoking weed if they wanted to date me.

This last month something terrible happened that retriggered my CPTSD, as well as the effects of my traumatic brain injury and I woke every morning crying uncontrollably. I was in pain, I thought I was in a major depression and I couldn't leave the house. (My OMD actually diagnosed it as adrenal fatigue, which is a relief, not depression.)

I got so desperate I took the advice of my friend with 2 TBIs and ordered some CBD oil from NuLeaf after extensive research.

My life has changed.

Every morning I laugh instead of cry. I dance around the kitchen to music again like I did before my TBI. I have energy to do the dishes for once. I keep the bottle with me always in case I panic while I'm out. There are ZERO side effects, unlike the meds I've tried. I have not TOUCHED my Xanax prescription since I started this oil last week, when I used to have to use Xanax 3-4 times a week at least, just to get breakfast in my body.

I am almost crying with how much it has given me my personality and my mobility and my happiness back. I read so many reviews of this particular company and so many people are going nuts about the different pains and depression and anxiety CBD is helping.

I know I sound like I work for them, but trust me I don't. I work with kids so I can't even tell many people I take this. I would be publicly putting it on my social media if I could lol.

Hope this helps - just one perspective from a lifelong straight-edge skeptic who doesn't even take caffeine or junk food :)
