Summary
This study tested a capsule containing cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes to see if it improves sleep quality in people with chronic insomnia. 125 adults with insomnia took either the CBD capsule or a placebo for a period, and their sleep was tracked with a wrist device. The goal was to measure time spent in deep and REM sleep stages.

cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-prescription sleep aid for people with insomnia.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are still early. The effect on sleep may be small or no better than placebo, and individual responses to CBD vary.
