According to a recent survey of 2,000 Americans assessing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our energy levels, 65% of Americans rarely wake up feeling rested and energized. About 42% of respondents reported feeling fatigued as early as 12 p.m. The use of [cannabidiol (CBD)](/content/discover/what-does-cbd-stand-for-and-what-does-it-do-fls/index.html), a popular cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants, has continued to rise as research continues to unveil the wide range of potential benefits. People report using CBD for a variety of reasons, such as [mild anxiety](https://discover.feals.com/cbd-dosage-for-anxiety-in-milligrams-how-to-think-about-dosing-fls) and [everyday aches and pains](https://discover.feals.com/full-spectrum-hemp-cbd-with-thc-for-pain-relief-fls)—but can CBD help with tiredness and fatigue? In this article, we provide insight on how CBD may help promote restful sleep and reduce tiredness as well as the stimulating effect of CBD when taken in small doses. #### **What Causes Tiredness and Fatigue?** There are many things that can cause us to feel tired—stress, anxiety, too little or too much exercise, [alcohol](https://discover.feals.com/cbd-oil-and-alcohol-do-they-mix-fls) use, and [caffeine](/content/blogs/discover/an-alternative-to-caffeine-why-thcv-is-dethroning-caffeine-fls/index.html) use to name a few. However, more often than not, tiredness and fatigue are the result of lack of sleep, poor sleep quality, or poor sleeping habits. Whether you were kept up all night with a crying baby, had too many late nights binge watching TV, or just can’t seem to stick to a consistent sleep schedule, tiredness can get the best of any of us. #### **Can CBD Help With Tiredness?** When consumed, cannabinoids like CBD interact with something called the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a cell-signaling system of receptors that plays an important role in the regulation of various processes and functions in the body, including sleep and circadian rhythm, inflammatory response and sensations of pain, mood, and memory. CBD is increasingly well-known for its sleep-promoting effects. In recent years, many people have ditched their [melatonin](https://discover.feals.com/the-hype-behind-cbd-with-melatonin-promoting-deep-sleep-fls) and sleeping pills for CBD. It’s clear CBD has helped many with sleeping troubles, but the manner in which CBD does so is still unclear. Some believe it’s because CBD interacts with receptors in the ECS responsible for regulating sleep and circadian rhythm. Others believe it's due to [CBD’s potential to regulate hormones](/content/blogs/discover/cbd-and-hormones-explaining-the-organic-remedy/index.html). More specifically, some experts believe the effects are related to CBD’s potential to regulate the release of cortisol. Cortisol is a steroid hormone responsible for regulating a wide range of important processes throughout the body, including sleep-wake cycles. In one study, [researchers discovered that cortisol levels decreased](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6326553/pdf/18-041.pdf) significantly when subjects took large doses of [CBD oil](https://discover.feals.com/pros-and-cons-of-cbd-oil-what-to-know-before-buying-fls), suggesting that CBD may act as a sedative through its impact on the release of cortisol. Regardless of the mechanism at play, it appears CBD may help with tiredness [by promoting restful sleep](https://discover.feals.com/when-to-take-cbd-oil-for-sleep-a-guide-for-restfulness-fls). ##### How Much CBD Should I Take for Sleep? Whether [you’re new to CBD](https://discover.feals.com/cbd-oil-for-beginners-fls) or are just looking to reevaluate your optimal CBD dose for sleep, it’s important to understand that your dose depends on what you’re seeking relief from as well as your body’s unique chemistry. Because we all respond differently to CBD, everyone’s perfect dose is different. While smaller amounts of CBD may act as a stimulant and provide a calming effect and sense of clear-headedness, larger amounts of CBD may act as a sedative. Consequently, improved sleep is typically achieved with higher doses. Here’s what we recommend for your initial dose: CBD doses for sleep can range anywhere from 40 mg to 160 mg, or more. You may start with a dose of 60 mg and gradually ramp up or decrease your dose to find your sweet spot.

It’s clear that CBD may help combat tiredness by helping you catch some Zs and promoting restful sleep, but what about when you’re tired during the day? We’ve all experienced the dreaded afternoon slump and sometimes [coffee](https://discover.feals.com/cbd-oil-in-coffee-tips-for-your-morning-routine-fls) just doesn’t cut it or worse, it interferes with our sleeping patterns. As we mentioned earlier, the effects of CBD vary depending on how much you take. Researchers believe that CBD has a biphasic effect, meaning low and high doses can produce opposite effects. This is why CBD in smaller doses is believed to produce a stimulating effect. CBD in small doses may help with energy levels during the day; however, there are other cannabinoids out there that are much more well-known for their energizing, focus-enhancing effects, such as [tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)](https://discover.feals.com/thcv-tetrahydrocannabivarin-explained-fls). #### **Feals: A Better Way to Feel Better** At Feals, we believe you deserve a better way to feel better.
