CBD may hold promise for REM sleep behavior disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness, while nabilone may reduce nightmares associated with PTSD and may improve sleep among patients with chronic pain. #cannabis #cannabiscommunity #weed https://t.co/oxsT3SfmXR

@SurpriseSparrow @Gaby_live_safe I thin there is some (more) interesting data regarding CBD and sleep (See e.g. https://t.co/arBoV0YA3B), but there's of course more research needed there as well, it seems to mainly be a big hype right now...

@GetYourSnoozeOn @ayshaiqbal0 @HopkinsMedicine Some good recent studies include https://t.co/GmxaKpMK08 and https://t.co/P1O3pKgxHm that review the literature and show that things are really murky. CBD isn’t a cure-all but it’s not nothing either. It’s important we don’t over-sell benefits.
