Sleep Deprivation: A Global & Indian Wake-Up Call

Sleep isn’t a luxury it’s essential to life. Yet, 45% of the global population suffers from some form of sleep disorder, according to the World Sleep Society (a global authority on sleep research and education). In India, the crisis is equally alarming. A 2023 study by Wakefit, a leading Indian sleep solutions company, found that 1 in 3 Indians sleep less than 6 hours a night, far below the healthy 7-8 hour benchmark.

The culprits? Rising screen time, emotional stress, unpredictable work hours, and a growing disconnect from natural rhythmsall contributing to poor sleep quality and quantity.

Hemp, CBD & THC: Nature’s Answer to Better Sleep

Among nature’s oldest remedies, hemp has re-emerged as a scientifically validated solution for sleep issues thanks to two star compounds: CBD (Cannabidiol) and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol).

CBD (Cannabidiol): Calm Without the High

CBD is non-psychoactive, it won’t make you feel “high.” Instead, it works in sync with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), a biological network that regulates mood, pain, stress, and sleep.

How CBD supports better sleep:

  • Reduces anxiety and racing thoughts- a major sleep blocker
  • Balances cortisol - the stress hormone that disrupts sleep cycles
  • Improves deep sleep - without affecting REM sleep

According to The Permanente Journal (2019), CBD improved sleep in 67% of participants

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol): Gentle Sedation for Restful Nights

THC is psychoactive, but in hemp-based Ayurvedic formulations, it is used in safe, controlled, doctor-prescribed micro-doses (under 0.3%).

How THC supports better sleep:

  • Helps you fall asleep faster by calming the nervous system
  • Reduces night awakenings, promoting continuous rest
  • Eases pain and spasms that interrupt sleep
  • Supports deep, healing sleep- useful for PTSD, anxiety, and chronic conditions

Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) confirmed THC reduced sleep latency and increased total sleep time

Together: The Entourage Effect

When used together, CBD and THC create a synergistic effect known as the “entourage effect” boosting each other’s benefits and helping the body shift into natural, deep rest without dependence or next-day drowsiness.

Rooted in Ayurveda, Backed by Science

Ayurveda has used Vijaya (Cannabis Sativa) for centuries to balance vata, calm the mind, and restore ojas (vital energy). Now, modern science validates these uses:

Neuroscience of Sleep (2023) found CBD enhances slow-wave sleep, the most restorative phase of sleep
