Cannabis therapy for sleep disorders
CANNABIS AS A MEDICINE FOR SLEEP DISORDERS Treatment with medicinal cannabis
Cannabinoids can have a relaxing effect on the body, reducing stress and allowing it to calm down.
The causes of a sleep disorder can be varied and are often difficult to detect. Medicinal cannabis can generally have a relaxing effect on the body and thus contribute to a restful sleep.
It can help patients to fall asleep more quickly and at the same time encourage them to sleep through the night.
If sleep disorders are the cause of a serious chronic illness, cannabinoid therapy may also be able to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
Our cooperating doctors will be happy to check whether treatment with medicinal cannabis could be an option for you and will carry out an individual anamnesis.

Symptoms, diagnosis and causes
Sleeping less than five hours a night leads to long-term discomfort. Chronic sleep deprivation has a number of negative effects, including the inability to fall asleep and stay asleep, which puts stress on the body and mind.
Insomnia can have a significant impact on the quality of life, which can be recognised by accompanying symptoms. Common accompanying symptoms include daytime tiredness, poor concentration, irritability, sadness and anxiety as well as poor performance at work or when carrying out activities. Insomnia usually occurs for no apparent reason. However, there are many factors that can lead to a lack of sleep:
- Stress, anxiety or depression;
- Physical health problems;
- Stimulants (alcohol, caffeine, nicotine);
- Shift work;
- Poor sleep hygiene.
Discussions, physical examinations and a sleep diary are usually used to make a diagnosis. A visit to a sleep laboratory is sometimes the only way to find out more precise information about the cause of the sleep disorder.
It is often easy to identify the cause of sleep problems.
If the trigger is not known, the cause must be determined.
Behavioural therapy and relaxation techniques are common methods of improving poor sleep quality. Drug treatments are usually scheduled and controlled in order to prevent possible dependency and habituation.
Cannabinoids can have a relaxing effect on the body, reducing stress and allowing it to calm down.
Medicinal cannabis can therefore be an effective means of significantly improving the quality of sleep. It can help you fall asleep faster and sleep better through the night. As a result, it can improve the quality of life during the day and contribute to relaxation and stress reduction.
If sleep disorders are a symptom of a serious chronic illness, cannabinoid therapy can potentially be a helpful support in the overall structure, provide relief from several symptoms and thus significantly improve the quality of life.
