Sleep leaves you feeling refreshed and alert when you wake up. If you have good sleep and good sleep habits it helps your body to remain healthy. Without enough sleep, the brain cannot function properly which can impact on our ability to concentrate, think clearly and process memories.<\/p>\n<p>What can affect our sleep for the better or worse?<br \/>\nThere are a number of things that can impact our sleep. Since our sleep is influenced by different neurotransmitter signals in the brain, foods and medicine that change the balance of these signals affect whether we feel alert or drowsy and how well we sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Experts agree there are several things we can do to help ourselves sleep better including having a regular night time routine. Our brain quickly recognises a habit and a \u201cwind down\u201d routine before bed is a good habit to form! It\u2019s also important to go \u201ctech-free\u201d at least one hour before going to sleep and to avoid caffeine or alcohol \u2013 all things we probably know but how many of us actually help ourselves by doing them!?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-669040\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/asppp.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"434\" height=\"162\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuality sleep is essential for a healthy mind and body,\u201d says Dr Marion Sloan, a GP from Sheffield. \u201cUnfortunately, it\u2019s not always easy to get a good night\u2019s sleep but there are things we can do to give ourselves the best chance of sleeping well and properly recharging.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does CBD affect sleep quality?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCBD is not a sleeping pill,\u201d says Rosemary Mazanet, MD, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Columbia Care. \u201cIt is not a tactical tool to be used if you are wound up and can\u2019t sleep. CBD modulates the homeostasis in the body providing relaxation and therefore sleep,\u201d says Rosemary, \u201cWhile some people might have an immediate improvement in sleep, CBD needs to be part of your regime, people feel that after a week it definitely has an effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With three products to choose from, Columbia Care Platinum Broad Spectrum Unflavoured CBD Oil (10%) Columbia Care Platinum Broad Spectrum Peppermint CBD Oil (10%) Columbia Care Platinum Broad Spectrum SoftGel Capsules (10%), taking CBD has never been better!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-668770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-615x615.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-615x615.png 615w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-55x55.png 55w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-36x36.png 36w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-115x115.png 115w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col-144x144.png 144w, https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/col.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Most-Wanted Gift for Father\u2019s Day \u2013 A Lie-In! bettercbd.co.uk Ask any dad how they are and the chances are they will respond saying they\u2019re tired!
