There have been numerous claims that the use of CBD oil can help those who are experiencing sleep problems, including insomnia and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centersleeptmj.com\/sleep-apnea-treatment.html\">sleep apnea<\/a>, but is this true? Read on to learn more about CBD and how it affects sleep apnea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is CBD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD is an abbreviation for \u201ccannabidiol.\u201d This is a compound from the cannabis Sativa plant, more commonly known as marijuana. However, CBD is not psychoactive, as it doesn\u2019t contain the compound \u201cTHC.\u201d Ultimately, CBD will not give the user a \u201chigh\u201d as standard marijuana use would. CBD can be purchased in many forms, including oils, gummies, and candy. It has been used to address chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can CBD Be Used for Sleep Apnea?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have started to look at whether CBD can be used as a treatment for insomnia, so many patients have been curious if it can help to reduce sleep apnea symptoms. It is believed that CBD can help to reduce the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, but there is no conclusive evidence at this time to suggest that it improves sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, it\u2019s crucial that you seek a diagnosis to get the proper treatment you need to achieve quality sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Is Sleep Apnea Treated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple treatment options available to address sleep apnea. Here are the most common:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPAP Therapy:<\/strong> CPAP therapy has been the go-to treatment option for sleep apnea for many years. The patient wears a mask as they sleep that pushes air into the throat and lungs through the mouth and nose to prevent the airway from collapsing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oral Appliance Therapy:<\/strong> A custom oral appliance is provided to you by your sleep dentist. You wear it when you sleep. It works by shifting your lower jaw into a position that reduces your probability of having an obstruction. Many patients find this method more comfortable and practical than CPAP therapy \u2013 especially those with mild to moderate sleep apnea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Combined Therapy:<\/strong> Combined therapy utilizes both an oral appliance and a smaller CPAP device to help you achieve better rest. This type of machine is quieter and less bulky, allowing additional comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD has its benefits, but it isn\u2019t an ideal method for addressing sleep apnea. Instead, seek help from a professional so you can receive the best possible device and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centersleeptmj.com\/dr-kinnari-jariwala.html\">Dr. Kinnari Jariwala<\/a> is an experienced dentist and craniofacial medicine expert serving patients in the Albuquerque area.
