CBD x REM 🏋️🌿 Maximise Recovery - Maximise Rest 🎒 #BEaLION🦁

Without sleep, we cannot function 🦁

Sleep restores the intrinsic systems; immune, nervous, skeletal and muscular - the latter being most important for fitness & bodybuilding athletes 🏋️

There are 5 stages of sleep:

Stages 1/4 are classed as NREM (Non-REM).The 5th stage is when REM (Rapid Eye Movement) takes place. NREM stages 1/2 are classed as light sleep.NREM stages 3/4 are considered to be "deep sleep" 🦁
‏‏‎ ‎
This is when our body and mind is at its most relaxed state. Deep sleep means our body temperature and heart rate drop because the brain uses minimal energy.
‏‏‎ ‎
REM stage 5 is the "dreaming" stage. The NHS recommends an average of 8 hours sleep, but based on the fact it can take 15/30 minutes to fall asleep, doesn't that mean we should be allocating up to 8.5 hours to maximise our resting period? 😴
‏‏‎ ‎
‏‏‎ ‎
This is "in an ideal world" where very few people have time for 8.5 hours rest, especially in these digital times, but what if you can improve sleep quality without having 8/9 hours sleep? 
‏‏‎ ‎
CBD increases your chances of staying in NREM 3/4.This reduces the likelihood of "dream recall", which is ideal if you suffer from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) or other trauma-driven disorders 🌿
‏‏‎ ‎

CBD positively affects your sleep cycle and taken in higher doses (30%+), it can induce drowsiness, meaning better quality of sleep in less time.

‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

In 1981, a study into the potential antiepileptic effects of CBD confirmed CBD promotes the somnolence effect, which suggests CBD is likely to have therapeutic potential for the treatment of sleep disorders, like insomnia.

‎Whether you are a fitness enthusiast / gym goer / athlete, your goals are your goals and you need a great recovery plan to maximise your rest, which is when the biggest gains are made 😴

‏Frankie (@frankieg.fit) has used Regain CBD for several months and noticed her sleep quality improved massively within the first week. "I use the CBD gummy rings and they improved my sleep from 4-5 hours to 7-8 hours."‏‏‎ ‎

‏‏‎CBD is an essential supplement to maximize your rest periods.If you need a better recovery plan, it is time to integrate CBD into your lifestyle 🏋️
