A new study on the use of CBD-coated pillowcases finds that use of the infused fabric coverings improves sleep quality for nurses. It also appears to significantly reduce participants’ anxiety, which researchers say likely also aids sleep.
“The CBD-coated pillow cover demonstrated improvements in sleep quality, mood and anxiety,” the report says, “highlighting its potential as a non-invasive intervention for shift workers.”
“These observed improvements may be partly attributed to the transdermal absorption of CBD, which allows localized and systemic interactions with cannabinoid receptors,” it explains, “potentially influencing relaxation and sleep patterns.”
