Research
Research on insomnia is focused on deepening our understanding of the underlying causes, as well as exploring innovative treatment options to improve sleep quality for those affected. Studies are investigating the roles of genetic factors, brain activity, and hormonal imbalances in the development of sleep disorders. Forbes notes one area of particular interest is the use of CBD for sleep and as a treatment option for insomnia. Preliminary research suggests that CBD may have the potential to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation, leading to improved sleep quality.
