Why is Everyone Talking About “Good Sleep Hygiene?”

Michael 
Maniscalco       Presentation on CDB   9/26/2020

The term “Good Sleep hygiene,” might seem strange; it’s concerning the critical importance of

high-quality sleep without disruptions. When we sleep, we actually critical promote healing
properties throughout the body.
Getting a good night’s sleep is critical for optimal health. The side effects and complications
associated with sleep disorders are irritability, fatigue, high blood pressure, cardiovascular
disorders, chronic disease, diabetes, depression, behavioral issues, stroke, and brain function
impairment. If not rectified, over time, sleep deprivation can lead to heart attacks, stroke,
diabetes, and other serious complications.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, insomnia and sleep disruptions can be caused by
the following:
Medical conditions (sleep apnea, back pain, acid reflux, arthritis)
Depression
Anxiety
PTSD
Lifestyle Disruptors (naps, shift work, circadian rhythm imbalance)
Medications
Caffeine
Alcohol
Nicotine
Heavy meals
On top of these disturbances, lies the most common issue that interferes with circadian
rhythm, which is blue light. Pathways of brainwave activity and wavelengths lie in various
regions of the brain, and they can be affected by stimuli and blue light: Delta waves promote
deep sleep and regeneration, beta make us sleep lighter with emotional dreaming, alpha
promotes faster activity in a relaxed state, and theta causes stress and anxiety.

Blue light emits wavelengths that contribute to sleep disturbances within our brains. Blue light
comes from artificial lighting and electronics like fluorescent and LED lightbulbs, laptops, mobile
phones, iPad, television, some alarm clocks, fiber-optic cable boxes, and other devices that use
blue light. The issue is that blue light makes your brain think that it’s still daytime, which makes it difficult to fall and stay asleep.
Can CBD Help You Sleep More Soundly?
In 2019, Dr. Scott Shannon and his researchers conducted a study called, “Cannabidiol in
Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series.” Their objective was to determine whether CBD helps
improve sleep and/or anxiety in a clinical population. The final sample consisted of 72 adults
presenting with primary concerns of anxiety or poor sleep. Anxiety scores decreased within the
first month in 57 patients (79.2%) and remained decreased during the study duration. Sleep scores improved within the first month in 48 patients (66.7%) but fluctuated over time. CBD
was well tolerated in all but 3 patients. Their conclusion reported that cannabidiol may hold
benefit for anxiety-related disorders, and that more controlled clinical studies are needed. 1
There have been many studies purporting that CBD is well tolerated as an add on sleep
enhancer. It is thought to balance the serotonin receptors in the brain. It’s always best to
research any new therapy for your own knowledge and judgement.
At Bliss Wellness Market, we believe in bringing the highest quality CBD products to market. We
formulate our products with our customers’ needs in mind, using other cannabinoids and
terpenes, creating unique synergies that increase efficacy, target specific ailments, and increase
the binding of CBD. We believe you the customer should see our product from soil to oil and

beneficial cannabinoids (CBG, CBN, CBC), as well as flavonoids, terpenes, and essential amino
Acids.
Bliss Wellness Market Products 
Though hemp and marijuana are both cannabis plants, they are not the same. The chemical
composition is different, especially when it comes to THC levels. Hemp has a much lower THC
level, less than 0.3%. Our CBD products come in various forms and dosages to meet each
customer’s needs and preferences. You can choose from water-soluble, edibles, tinctures, soft
gels, vaping e-liquids, and topical applications. We even have tinctures and CBD treats for pets.
