Does hemp oil cause drowsiness?

Hemp oil has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its many supposed health benefits. But, one of the concerns about this natural product is its potential to make people feel drowsy. In this article, we’ll explore whether or not there is any truth to the idea that hemp oil can cause drowsiness.

What is Hemp Oil?

First things first – let’s clarify what exactly hemp oil is. Hemp oil refers to an extract from the seeds of the cannabis plant. However, unlike marijuana which contains high levels of THC (the psychoactive compound), hemp plants contain minimal amounts of THC and higher levels of CBD (cannabidiol). This means that using products derived from hemp won’t get you ‘high’.

Fun fact: The use of hemp dates back thousands of years and was even used for making paper by famous figures such as Thomas Jefferson!

Understanding Drowsiness

Before we dive into whether or not hemp oil causes drowsiness, it’s important to understand more about what causes this condition in general.

Drowsiness refers to a state where your body naturally wants to rest and sleep, leading you feeling fatigued and having lower energy levels during wake hours.

Some common reasons for experiencing drowsiness include:

  • Lack of Sleep
  • Medications/ingestible substances
  • Blood Sugar Levels
  • Apnea/Respiratory Disorders

However, as there are more factors that could cause someone feeling excessively tired throughout the day; they may have Sleeping Sickness! Which leads us back into our previous thread: Whether or Not Hemp Oil Causes It.

Can Hemp Oil Cause Drowsiness?

The short answer would be no if taken at recommended doses but anything consumed abusively could possibly lead you off track.

Although some research suggest CBD helps reduce anxiety disorders, abusing excess usage of hemp oil could lead you to possibly feel lightheaded/lazier so it’s recommended sticking to the provided dose.

Fun fact: A study done by Steep Hill Labs found that around 60% of CBD products available on the market contain less CBD than stated on their label. This means a person might think they are taking a low dosage when in reality, it could be higher or lower leading them into undesirable effects related to ingesting too much.

What Does Research Say?

While there is limited research specifically addressing this issue, some studies have looked at how cannabidiol (CBD) – which makes up most CBD oils – affects people’s sleep and energy levels.

For instance; one experiment conducted monitored healthy adult subjects for an entire month who had insomnia treated with less extreme dosages of cannabidiol-infused capsules comparing these individuals with placebo users . The results showed those who were administered Cannabidinoid infused treatments not only slept better but also reported fewer daytime symptoms such as drowsiness!

Although there are still questions around whether these findings can be replicated across different populations and circumstances including: age group/weight/nature of sleeping problem therapeutic regimens.

How Might Hemp Oil Promote Sleep?

Some researchers believe that taking hemp oil might actually help promote sleep. Remember what we explained earlier regarding Hemp plants-higher amounts of CBD than THC?

We know CBD accounts for often used significantly gummies, creams/oil-drops-tinctures-and-premium-grooming-products in treating pain symptoms associated with various diseases & disorders-from epilepsy-parkinsons-doctors frequently prescribe daily doses citing reduced inflammation related problems& anxiety disorders~some refer to its ability having relaxing effect_!.

Sooooo! It’s quite possible ingesting/taking small doses may lead an individual feeling more rested without negative implications but again ingesting over-extensively creates otherwise unpleasant predicaments—-We repeat: ABUSE leads to EXCESS EFFECTS!

Potential Causes of Drowsiness While using Hemp Oil

While ingesting regulated doses of hemp oil seems relatively safe with some potential health benefits; there are still possible reasons that an individual might feel drowsy after taking it, including:

1. Product Quality and Potency Variations

One significant problem with the use and popularity of hemp oil is how difficult it can be to ensure consistent quality across products from different vendors/producers/regions.

The inconsistent concentration levels in most CBD/Hemp related products not only means people might end up taking more or less than they intend but also may have unknown additives whose interactions &doses are uncertain! thus problems arise possibly leading them feeling sleepier/drowsier-taking excess dosage creates adverse reactions impacting general well-being for a few days/months.

2. Differences in Individual Metabolism and Systems Response

Every human body-system responds differently even predictable diseases creating unique system effects & manifestations.

Some individuals’ systems may just react differently than others- their body metabolites causing effect faster or slower – making them sleepy/drowsy take example medications where one certain medication could work efficiently towards insomnia symptoms while the same treatment has no effect on another individual due to increased/decreased metabolic activity!

Thus side-effects will vary hence prior consultation recommended before indulging limit unnecessary repercussions/repeatative non-occurences

What Can You Do If You Experience Drowsing After Taking Hemp Oil?

If you do experience drowsiness after using this product; reduce your dosage/output or seek professional advice from your doctor /medical-healthcare practitioner-regarding usage guidance if condition persists/alarmingly worsens, consider discontinuing then seeking alternate treatments@theDoctors ~Safety always comes first.

Pro tip: A way around new users testing whether hemp oils make them dizzy/tired versus attentive enough before trying out new dose/brands could be trying the product few hours before bed time or get involved in a none-sleep related chore (also gives insight into how long cbd takes to work and gauges metabolism of dosage)

Final Thoughts

Stopping to recharge helps our cognitive abilities, rejuvenates mind & body but being drowsy when it is not intended simply because you ingested too much hemp oil is not an ideal solution.

Drowsiness after using natural products such as full-spectrum oils are often caused by immeasurable quality control issues hence they may contain unknown substances resulting in unpredictable side-effects.

Hence always try sticking to dietary guidelines- only choose quality offerings from vendors with proven experiences regarding their premiumness while paying attention to instructions from practitioners for prescribed treatments.#Remember ! Safety comes first#
