Insomnia, Overview:

Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder where people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. It may result in an increased risk of motor vehicle collisions, as well as problems focusing and learning. Insomnia can be short term, lasting for days or weeks, or long term, lasting more than a month.
Insomnia can occur independently or as a result of another problem. Conditions that can result in insomnia include psychological stress, chronic pain, heart failure, hyperthyroidism, heartburn, restless leg syndrome, menopause, certain medications, and drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. Other risk factors include working night shifts and sleep apnea. Diagnosis is based on sleep habits and an examination to look for underlying causes. A sleep study may be done to look for underlying sleep disorders. Screening may be done with two questions: "do you experience difficulty sleeping?" and "do you have difficulty falling or staying asleep?"
Sleep hygiene and lifestyle changes are typically the first treatment for insomnia. Sleep hygiene includes a consistent bedtime, exposure to sunlight, a quiet and dark room, and regular exercise. Cognitive behavioral therapy may be added to this. While sleeping pills may help, they are associated with injuries, dementia, and addiction. Medications are not recommended for more than four or five weeks. The effectiveness and safety of alternative medicine is unclear.
Between 10% and 30% of adults have insomnia at any given point in time and up to half of people have insomnia in a given year.[8][9][10] About 6% of people have insomnia that is not due to another problem and lasts for more than a month. People over the age of 65 are affected more often than younger people. Females are more often affected than males. Descriptions of insomnia occur at least as far back as ancient Greece.




How Cannabis Aids
​
The endocannabinoid system has broad influence over areas of the brain involved in sensations such as pain perception, movement, emotion, cognition, and sleep. Early research suggests that CBD consumption has the potential to improve sleep. The effect of CBD on alertness is biphasic. At low doses it has been shown to increase alertness, though at higher doses, patients report a very calming effect. Studies show as well when it comes to the muscles where we hold a lot of our tension/stress The two major cannabinoids found in cannabis are thought to be responsible for cannabis’ effectiveness at muscle pain, tension & Spasm relief. 
There’s strong evidence that suggests that cannabinoid-induced reductions in muscle tension, tremors and spasticity are due to interaction with the cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, of the endocannabinoid system. By interacting with the CB1 and CB2 receptors, cannabinoids help regulate the excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters necessary to curtail spasms, and ease tension. this effect takes place throughout the body, as the endocannabiniod system regulates all major  organs and all function systems eg, immune, nervous system, etc. This effect is greater with the Indica strains ( as the Sativa strains are more of a cognitive stimulant ). 
In 1981, there was a Brazilian study that took place. 15 insomniacs were studied by researchers at the Escola Paulista de Medicina in Sao Paulo. The insomniacs were given a dose of CBD (ranging between 40mg and 160mg) placebo, or nitrazepam which is a hypnotic medication that relieves anxiety and insomnia. Those who were given the higher CBD dose reported significant increase in sleep, though the dream recall was minimal in comparison to those who had taken the placebo. The reduction in dream recall was hypothesised to be due to reduced REM sleep.
