Many adults use CBD products when trying to relax for a restful night of sleep due to CBD’s calming properties and other relaxing ingredients.** CBD gummies are among the most popular of all CBD products, thanks to gummies’ mess-free convenience, portability, and delicious flavor.
In this article, we’ll examine how CBD works, in particular for relaxation, and the different types of CBD oil that you can find in a CBD gummy.** We’ll also look at what CBD gummies are and explore the different kinds of CBD gummies available, including CBD gummies for sleep and for other uses.** Lastly, we’ll show you what to look for when you shop for CBD sleep gummies, so that you choose a gummy product that is safe and satisfactory.
Let’s begin our CBD gummy lesson with a basic, but pertinent question: What is CBD?
What Is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. CBD is one of a group of hemp compounds, called cannabinoids. Besides CBD, the hemp plant produces over a hundred different cannabinoids, including THC (less than 0.3% THC, by law), CBN, CBG, and more. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t get you high. Instead, CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps to maintain homeostasis, or balance.** This interaction between CBD and various receptors in the ECS helps to regulate a number of crucial functions, including pain, mood, memory, appetite, stress, and … you guessed it, sleep.** CBD does this by creating a calming effect for the mind and body. This calming effect can be beneficial for stress relief products and for sleep aids.**
What Are CBD Gummies?
CBD gummies are chewy CBD supplements that come in a variety of CBD formulations. Many adults choose to take CBD in gummy form because CBD gummies are mess-free, easily portable, and discrete. CBD gummies also generally taste much better than CBD oil tinctures or CBD pills.
How Do CBD Gummies Work for Sleep?
As we noted above, among CBD’s health and wellness benefits are its calming properties.** Those calming effects make CBD the perfect base ingredient for natural sleep aids. With CBD sleep gummies, we combine calming CBD with other restful ingredients, including melatonin, passion flower, CBN, magnesium, and more (depending on which CBD sleep gummy formula you choose).** Together, these ingredients deliver deep sleep effects.
Melatonin, CBN, Terpenes & Other Complementary Sleep Ingredients
There are several natural sleep aids that perfectly complement calming CBD.
Melatonin is certainly the most well-known of these ingredients. It’s a hormone naturally released by the body to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin and CBD are not only safe to take together, they perfectly complement one another!
Certain botanicals also contain restful terpenes that can relax the body for bed. These can include passion flower, chamomile, lemon balm, and even some of hemp’s own terpene content. The mineral magnesium also helps to relax muscles and nerves, helping to prepare the body for sleep.
And then there’s cannabinol (CBN), commonly known as the “ultimate relaxation cannabinoid.” CBN is the heaviest sleep compound found in the hemp plant, perfect for delivering a long night of deep sleep.
And finally, some folks prefer to add the dreamy tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), to their sleep aids. One of THC’s many psychoactive qualities is its ability to relax the mind and body, creating a more blissful slumber.
Here’s how we use this Dream Team of ingredients in our two powerful sleep gummies.**
CBD Gummies for Sleep With Melatonin
Our CBD Gummies for Sleep contain 50–200mg of broad spectrum CBD (depending on which strength you choose) and 5mg of mellow melatonin per serving, plus restful passion flower, lemon balm, chamomile, magnesium, and a curated blend of sleep terpenes.** These tasty CBD gummies are formulated to help you get to sleep quickly and sleep soundly through the night.**
Lemon Dream THC Gummies
Our Lemon Dream THC Gummies contain added delta-9 THC, taking them right up to the legal limit for THC in hemp products. With 25mg of full spectrum CBD and 5mg THC per serving, our Lemon Dream THC Gummies also contain 3mg melatonin per serving, providing the ultimate 1-2-3 combo for velvety relaxation. These potent THC gummies add a little extra bliss to your good night’s rest.**
Full-Spectrum vs Broad-Spectrum CBD Gummies: Which Is Best?
You may have noticed that we mentioned the type of CBD used in each of our sleep gummies. Why? Well, the type of CBD oil used in your product directly affects your entire sleep gummy experience.
Full spectrum CBD gummies are gummies that contain the “full spectrum” of hemp compounds, including all cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and health-friendly fatty acids. Broad-spectrum CBD is the same hemp-derived CBD oil, only the detectable amounts of THC have been filtered out (along with a few other hemp compounds in the process). Both CBD types allow the user to experience the Entourage Effect.** This is the phenomenon by which CBD and other hemp compounds, when taken together, actually bolster one another’s effects—giving you a deeper CBD experience.** The Entourage Effect is stronger in full spectrum gummies, but broad spectrum gummies have the advantage of containing no detectable amounts of THC (which is a concern for some). So, it really comes down to personal preference as to which is best.
When shopping for CBD, you may also find CBD gummies and other products that contain a type of CBD called CBD isolate. CBD isolate is CBD only, with all other hemp compounds filtered out, leaving you with a product that’s 99% pure CBD. CBD isolate does not produce the Entourage Effect, which is why we don’t use this spectrum in our CBD gummies.

How to Find the Best CBD Gummies
When you’re shopping for CBD gummies or any CBD products, it’s important to keep a few criteria in mind.
First, make sure you only purchase CBD gummies made with organic CBD oil. Hemp is a powerful bioaccumulator, meaning that it sucks up pretty much everything from the soil that surrounds it. So, if the hemp used in your product comes from a farm that uses pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals, those toxins will wind up in the CBD oil and, ultimately, in your gummies! So, always insist on gummies made with organic CBD.
You also want to make sure that the CBD brand you choose uses clean carbon dioxide to extract the CBD oil from the hemp plant. CO2 doesn’t leave behind a chemical residue in the CBD oil, as some solvents used by cheaper CBD brands do. Carbon dioxide ensures clean CBD extraction, and it also is more effective in extracting the CBD. So, you can potentially get more potent CBD gummies when you go with gummies containing CO2-extracted CBD.**
Lastly, every reputable CBD brand will back their gummies and other products with a Certificate of Analysis. A COA is an independent, third-party-generated lab report that tells you how much CBD, THC, and other hemp compounds are in your CBD gummies, and alerts you to the presence of any of the aforementioned toxins. At CBDfx, we back all of our CBD products with a Certificate of Analysis. We want your CBD gummy experience to be safe and satisfying every time!
Final Thoughts on CBD Gummies & Sleep
Now that you know what to look for when shopping for CBD gummies—made with organic CBD, with the CBD oil extracted by clean CO2, and backed by a COA—it just comes down to finding the right gummies for your needs.
