Can CBD really help you sleep—or is it just hype? In this episode, April Pride takes a science-backed and story-driven look at CBD for sleep support, breaking down what research and real women say actually helps them fall—and stay—asleep. From full-spectrum tinctures to targeted product picks, you’ll learn the difference between CBD, THC, and CBN for sleep. April shares insights from her dad’s cannabis routine, interviews with female founders, and a hot list of strains and boosters that help you unwind without grogginess. Whether you’re struggling with perimenopause, racing thoughts, or 3am wakeups, this episode offers tangible tools for deeper rest and daily balance.
