One-Two punch for optimal sleep

Hey there, all our wannabe sleepyheads! Have you been wondering if you need to take your Canna-Oils  BCP drops in the morning as well as in the evening? And why?

Well, let’s dive into why doubling up – morning and night – could be the secret to getting those quality Zzz’s.

Is this you? You wake up feeling groggy, and by nighttime, you’re just counting down the minutes until you can finally hit the hay, only to just lie there for hours and then when you finally do fall asleep but you’re awake again in a few measly hours?  Beta-caryophyllene (BCP), a natural compound found in plants like cloves, black pepper and hemp, could be your ticket to dreamland. But here’s the twist – it’s not just about popping a few drops before bedtime.

Here are a few tips as to why am drops could be the game changer:

Balancing Your Body Clock: Just like how your morning cup of coffee kick starts your day, taking BCP drops in the A.M. helps set your body clock right. It’s like giving your internal clock a gentle nudge, signalling that it’s time to wake up and seize the day.

Tackling Daytime Stress: Ever had those days when stress seems to follow you like a shadow? BCP could be your stress-busting sidekick. By taking it in the morning, you’re arming yourself against the stresses of the day ahead, helping you stay cool, calm, and collected.  So when it’s time for sleep the body and mind don’t have to work as hard to relax and quieten down.

Easing Pain Throughout the Day:  Our sleeplessness could be caused by pain throughout the body, so don’t leave it until the sun’s going down to tackle the pain and inflammation that keeps you awake, take some BCP in the morning.  Less pain during the day = less pain at night (and better sleep).
 

Think of it as a one-two punch – morning dosing gets your day off to a great start, while evening dosing sets the stage for a restful night’s sleep. By keeping those BCP levels steady throughout the day, you’re giving yourself the best shot at getting a great night’s sleep and waking up feeling refreshed.

There have been studies that explore the role of timing in optimising the effects of natural compounds on sleep and wakefulness, empathising the importance of consistent dosing throughout the day.

Our bodies operate on a natural circadian rhythm, governing various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles. By taking BCP in the morning and evening, you support the body’s natural balance and aid in regulating circadian rhythms, leading to more consistent and restorative sleep patterns.

So basically, taking BCP drops twice daily ensures a steady concentration of the terpene in your system, maximising its bioavailability and therapeutic effects. Consistency is key when it comes to reaping the full benefits of this powerful compound.

Incorporating BCP into both your morning and nighttime routines offers a comprehensive approach to promoting sleep quality and overall well-being. By leveraging its anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic properties throughout the day, you can optimise your body’s natural rhythms and enjoy more restful sleep.  So go ahead, give it a try, and here’s to sweet dreams and restful nights!
