CBD as a sleep aid is a bad idea because it causes dependence and you develop tolerance. At a lower level cbd is actually a stimulant, so once you've developed a tolerance, now you are taking a stimulant before bed. So you take more and more until you are still on it for much of the next day because it has to wear off. Your brain makes its own cannabinoids so now it is making less of them and so if you stop, you're not back to square one neurochemically. Like all sleep aids with bipolar, a disease related to the circadian rhythm, it should be used as a last resort. The real long-term effective solution is CBT-IB (cbt for insomnia related to bipolar) and light therapy and blue light blocking at night (try the orange glasses, they work). Blue light blocks melatonin from being released, if you are blocking 100% of it when the sun goes down, and hitting yourself with the light box as close to dawn as you can, it is going to work wonders. And the CBT-IB stuff and hygiene takes a long time to make deep changes to how you go about sleep. If you do that, and use CBD as a temporary thing on the days you really need it, that is a sensible plan. The anxiety too, if you're not scoring a 10 out of 10 on all of the possible long-term solutions for that, CBD is only going to work to an extent. I know people that take 2 droppersful of cbd a night to go to sleep and they don't like to hear this stuff. It's like hey, I feel your pain, but I noticed that you've been sleeping through your alarm and your kids are late for school a few times a week kind of thing. And these are people who are watching their 50 inch tv from 10 feet away with the lights on until midnight every night and going directly to bed so, that's my word.
