Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnoea can affect concentration, energy levels and overall wellbeing. This updated guide explains how medical cannabis and CBD may support people living with sleep apnoea, what current research shows and how treatment works in the UK. It also covers risks, product types and the role of established treatments such as CPAP.

It’s estimated that around one billion adults around the world suffer from sleep apnoea, which equates to around 1 in 7 of us, and yet the condition is seldom openly discussed. In fact, many people suffer from the condition without even knowing it, and this could be having an adverse effect on their health.

Although there are several common treatments for sleep apnoea, in recent years there has been a large amount of research into the potential benefits of CBD for sufferers. Some studies have shown that certain properties of CBD may potentially enhance sleep stability and reduce the symptoms of sleep apnoea by a considerable amount.
