The Modern Sleep Crisis: A Global & Indian Wake-Up Call

Sleep deprivation has become a modern epidemic. According to the World Sleep Society, 45% of the global population suffers from some form of sleep issue. In India, the problem is just as severe — a 2023 study by Wakefit found that 1 in 3 Indians sleeps less than 6 hours a night, far below the 7–8 hours recommended for healthy functioning.

Rising screen time, anxiety, stress, and erratic schedules are wreaking havoc on our circadian rhythms, affecting everything from our mental clarity and mood to hormonal balance and immune function.

Hemp, CBD & THC: Nature’s Sleep Regulators

Hemp contains over 100 cannabinoids, but two of them — CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) — play a leading role in how the plant supports better sleep.

✅ CBD (Cannabidiol) – Calm Without the High

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, meaning it won’t alter your state of mind or cause a “high.” Instead, it works in harmony with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) — a regulatory network in your body that influences mood, stress, pain, and sleep.

How CBD supports better sleep:

• Reduces anxiety and racing thoughts — often the biggest barriers to falling asleep
• Balances cortisol — the stress hormone that disrupts natural sleep rhythm
• Improves sleep quality — by increasing deep sleep without affecting REM cycles

✅ THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) – Gentle Sedation for Deep Rest

THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis — but in hemp-based Ayurvedic formulations, it is present only in small, controlled quantities (under 0.3%) and used therapeutically under medical supervision.

How THC supports better sleep:

• Helps you fall asleep faster — by calming the nervous system
• Reduces nighttime awakenings — improving overall sleep continuity
• Eases pain and muscle spasms — often hidden causes of disrupted sleep
• Enhances deep, restorative rest — ideal for PTSD or chronic conditions

✅ Together, CBD and THC create a synergistic entourage effect, allowing the body to enter a deeper, more natural state of rest without grogginess or habit formation.

Rooted in Wisdom, Proven by Science

Ayurveda has long used Vijaya (Cannabis Sativa) to promote calm, balance, and rejuvenation. Today, science supports this ancient use:

• 🧪 A 2019 study in The Permanente Journal found that CBD improved sleep in 67% of participants
• 🧪 Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) highlighted THC’s ability to reduce sleep latency and increase total sleep time
• 🧠 Neuroscience of Sleep (2023) confirms that CBD enhances slow-wave sleep, which is critical for healing and repair

 

Who Can Benefit from Hemp-Based Sleep Support?

• Individuals facing anxiety, depression, or stress-related insomnia
• Women with hormonal imbalances or menstrual sleep disruptions
• Older adults with melatonin decline and restless sleep
• People with pain-related insomnia or PTSD
• Frequent travelers or professionals with circadian rhythm disruption
