Top 5 CBD Products Formulated For Sleep Updated 2019

It’s a fact: getting a good night’s sleep is critical to overall health and well-being, but unfortunately, only a fraction of us are getting the rest necessary to function at optimal levels. With over 1 in 3 Americans suffering from insomnia and related sleep issues, it should come as no surprise that pharmaceutical sleep aids are more popular than ever. While some of these pills work in the short term, these synthetic alternatives come with some detrimental side effects. Not only do they carry an increased risk of dependency, but many over-the-counter sleep aids leave users groggy and sluggish all day long.

Luckily, scientists have recently uncovered a natural new treatment for those suffering from insomnia – and the results have been nothing short of groundbreaking. While CBD alone has been known to tackle sleep issues at the source, it wasn’t until recently that sleep-specific CBD products began popping up on mainstream markets. As consumers began testing these specialty products, it became clear that CBD for sleep was the solution millions had been searching for.

Our team of sleep-focused researchers set out to discover the most effective CBD sleep formula. Below is our ultimate ranking of the top five CBD sleep aids on the market for 2019.

1. Bliss Herbal Sleep Formula Capsules and Sleep Tincture

When it comes to sleep-specific CBD products, Bliss Herbal is the standout winner for a number of reasons. Offering both a 1000mg sleep tincture and 600mg sleep capsules, Bliss Herbal’s unique formula contains several potent natural sleep aids in addition to the CBD – something the competition clearly lacks.

With added melatonin, valerian root, and camomile, Bliss Herbal’s 20mg CBD capsules work with the body’s natural biological processes to help you fall asleep and stay asleep quickly and effectively. This powerful blend of sleep-specific additives target different areas of the brain and body simultaneously, making this fast-acting sleep aid our absolute favorite of all the brands we tested. Because this product doesn’t contain synthetic hormones, there is no risk of dependency or side effects, and none of our testers experience next-day grogginess which was an issue with a few other brands we tried.

Many of our testers noticed a general sense of calm and well-being the nights we took this product, a feeling that carried over well into the next day. While the capsules were powerful enough to send us into a deep, long sleep, the natural formula also helped up wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day. For these reasons alone, Bliss Herbal’s Sleep Capsules quickly rose to the #1 spot in our ranking.

Not only is the quality of Bliss Herbal’s product superior, but their prices are extremely competitive, making this one of our favorite all-around CBD brands of 2019.

2. Medterra CBD Sleep Capsules

Medterra may not be one of the most well-known CBD brands on the market, but their unique line of wellness products has put them on the map as one of the top CBD brands to follow in 2019. Offering a daytime, nighttime, and women’s health capsule, Medterra is filling a huge gap in the CBD market with their specialty line of products.

It is no surprise that their sleep formula is among the top-selling items they offer, and when we first tested this product in 2018 we couldn’t get enough of it. With 25mg of CBD and 10mg of melatonin per serving, this potent tablet will knock you out within a matter of minutes, in large part thanks to the enormous dose of melatonin.

While we unanimously agreed that this product worked, many of our testers felt that the melatonin content in these tablets was much too high. Most of us experienced some lingering grogginess in the morning, and while it didn’t quite compare to a “sleeping pill hangover,” it took a couple hours to feel alert after waking – something we didn’t experience with the other products we tested. Some other reviewers suggested cutting the tablet in half, but 12.5mg of CBD just simply isn’t a high enough dose for most people.

All-in-all, there is no denying that this product works, we just hope Medterra decides to adjust their formula in the future to contain less melatonin.

3. Hemp Bombs CBD Sleep Gummies

Hemp Bombs has been a popular brand among CBD users since they stepped on the scene several years ago, mainly thanks to their vast array of products not typically found elsewhere. From e-liquids to capsules to beard balms and everything in between, there is something for everybody in Hemp Bomb’s online CBD store.

When we first learned that they were offering a CBD gummy formulated specifically for sleep, we couldn’t wait to give it a try. Containing 15mg of CBD and 5mg of melatonin per piece, it already stood out to us as the most potent sleep-specific gummy on the market. Reasonably priced at $59.99 for a 30-count bottle, we divvied up the chews ready to put them to the test.

It didn’t take long for these powerful gummies to work their magic. Within 30 minutes of consuming one piece all of our testers began to feel drowsy, and an hour later we were all in a deep sleep. While we preferred the overall experience of taking capsules, for anyone looking for a CBD for sleep gummy, this is the brand to try.

4. Vitadreamz Gummies

Vitadreamz is a newcomer to the CBD world, and with only one product offered focusing solely on sleep, we were instantly intrigued. We purchased their “Pillow Pack” sampler of four gummies containing 20mg of CBD total, plus a proprietary blend of melatonin, 5-HTP, L-Theanine, GABA, vitamin B6, and chamomile extract.

Like our #1 pick Bliss Herbal, we really appreciated the extra focus on natural sleep aids. Most of the other brands rely exclusively on melatonin for their sleep formulas, so we were eager to test out Vitadreamz chews to see if they’d hedge out the gummy competition.

Unfortunately, with only 5mg of CBD per square, this brand had by far the lowest CBD concentration per piece of all the products we tested. We settled on two squares per person for this experiment, which seemed to be the perfect amount to ease us each into a restful state of mind. While we didn’t fall asleep quite as fast as with our top three choices, once asleep we did not wake up until morning.

While Vitadreamz doesn’t disclose exactly how much of each sleep-related ingredient is in their proprietary blend, there is no denying that this product works. For a reasonable cost of $6.95 per sample pack and free shipping on all orders, this is a great item to order if you aren’t ready to commit to a full-sized product.

5. Green Roads World Sleepy Z’s Gummies

Green Roads World has been in the CBD business for quite some time, so it came as no surprise to learn that they had finally come out with a sleep-specific product. Unfortunately, their Sleepy Z’s Gummies are currently only sold in two serving pouches, and with a price tag of $10 this was by far the most expensive product we tested.

With each “Z” containing 25mg of CBD and only 0.5mg of melatonin, we went into this experiment with pretty low expectations. While our biggest complaint about Medterra’s product was the high melatonin count, Green Roads had the opposite problem, with each gummy containing a scant 1/20th the melatonin of our #2 favorite. Surprisingly, 0.5mg of melatonin worked better than expected, a result we attributed to the fact that it was combined with CBD. While it took quite a bit longer for us to fall asleep, we woke up energized and well rested.

While this worked surprisingly better than expected, the high price tag made it hard to justify purchasing these gummies again.

Verdict:

There is no denying the powerful effects of CBD, specifically when it comes to sleep-related issues. While all five products worked to varying degrees, it’s safe to say that Bliss Herbal’s “Sleep Formula” Capsules were the clear winner in this experiment. Not only did they work like a charm, but the dosage per service was perfect and the price just right.

If you are struggling with insomnia and related sleep issues, give one of these natural sleep aids a try and discover what CBD for sleep can do for you.
