Best CBD Oil for Sleep Support in 2021: How Cannabidiol (CBD) Helps with Insomnia and Sleep Disorder?
Medically reviewed by |Last Updated:
We have created two “top lists” with the best CBD oil for sleep and insomnia the first includes Best CBD oils with sleep supporting supplements and the second Best CBD oil only.
If you have ever had insomnia or any other sleep disruption, you probably know how difficult it can be. “Excessive daytime drowsiness” is one of the main symptoms, but that doesn’t really even begin to describe it! Other symptoms include brain fog, mental dullness, irritability, mood changes, fatigue, difficulty with learning and memory….and then there’s the lack of interest in sex, increased risk of accidents and the increased risk of serious health problems like obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.
Research on CBD and its effects on sleep has been varied and inconclusive over the years. Studies so far do support CBD’s potential to interact with the sleep cycle. They reinforce the knowledge that CBD works on the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in sleep regulation.
When it comes to choosing a CBD product for your insomnia and other sleep disorders, there are many brands out there. The market isn’t regulated, so you need to know how to find trustworthy products. We are here to help you!
Here are the criteria we use to rate the best CBD oils for sleep support:
- Purity of the product – based on 3rd party (independent) lab testing results – This criterion also includes the method of extraction used and whether it contains other ingredients
- Potency – how many mg of CBD is in the product Transparency – published, easy-to-access 3rd party lab testing results
- Reputation – based on what is known about the company, the “people behind the brand”, how transparent they are, the web site and other factors about the company Customer
- Service – how well they answer questions and concerns and how quickly and well the product is delivered
- Other Supplements – There are a variety of supplements that can be used along with CBD to aid in sleep, mainly Melatonin.

Best CBD products for sleep with sleep supporting supplements
The following CBD products are our choices for the “Best CBD oils” for sleep with sleep supporting supplements such as Melatonin and more:
cbdMD
cbdMD is very well-known in the industry and rated well in our system. They have many different products and appear to be beginning to produce specialized products, like CBD PM for sleep.
As described, the CBD PM contains melatonin and several different herbs traditionally used as sleep aids. The melatonin level per dropperful is 5 mg, a bit higher than often recommended (1-3 mg) but reasonable. Each dropperful also contains 15 mg of CBD along with proprietary amounts of the herbs. Proprietary—they just list the total mg amounts of all the herbs—250mg.
The product is 3rd party test by an ISO-certified lab—that’s a big plus!
The cost of the CBD per mg is $0.09—very reasonable when you take into account the cost of other ingredients. One flavor—mint—is available in a 30mL bottle. The product also contains MCT oil.

Green Roads
Green Roads has yet another delivery method for their “Sleepy Z’s”—gummies.
The sleep gummies each contain natural Terpenes, Pectin, Citric Acid, Sugar, Non-GMO Corn Syrup, Natural Flavors, Natural Coloring along with 25 mg of CBD and 0.5 mg of melatonin per gummy. Their recommended dose is two gummies, so you would get 50mg CBD and 1 mg melatonin. The product is vegan friendly, and each packet contains 2 gummies costing $9.95 (on the day I checked they were on sale for $7.30) making it $0.2 per mg of CBD.

CBDfx
CBDfx rated well in our rating system, while there were concerns over accuracy and transparency.
CBDfx also uses edible gummies as their sleep aid—CBD Melatonin Gummies. They are a broad-spectrum and vegan-friendly gummy that is also available in a “CBD Snooze Set” – a bundle that provides a lavender night-time face mask, the CBD Melatonin gummies and a CBD topical balm all for $82.99.
The CBD gummies with melatonin contain 10mg cannabinoids with 5 mg of melatonin. Lemon is the only flavor currently available. Ingredients are: Organic cane sugar, organic tapioca syrup, purified water, pectin, tri sodium citrate, citric acid, hemp extract, natural color & flavors, melatonin. Each bottle costs $49.99—I couldn’t actually find it listed anywhere, but it looks as if that is for 30 gummies. (The bottle lists a total of 300 mg and each gummie is 10 mg so….) On that basis, the cost per mg of CBD is $0.17.

Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte’s Web is very well-established and well-respected and have been around since the beginning—one could really say they ARE the beginning because the Stanley Brothers provided the original patient, Charlotte, with the CBD oil that reduced her seizures. Their business is named in her honor.
Charlotte’s Web has raspberry-flavored gummies with a minimum of 10mg of CBD along with 3 mg of melatonin. Each jar contains 60 gummies cut into cubes. These are full-spectrum extracts and also contain tapioca syrup, beet sugar, fructooligosaccharides (FOS: great for gut bacteria and overall health, by the way), natural flavors, water, pectin, MCT oil and natural vegetable juice along with the raspberry flavor. The gummies also contain less than 1% citric acid, sodium citrate dihydrate, sunflower lecithin and tapioca starch—these are mainly ingredients needed to keep the gummie…well, a gummie.
The recommended dose is 2 gummies 30 minutes before bedtime.
Each jar costs $54.99 ($0.09/mg CBD) and should last a month. You can also purchase a “Sleep 3-Pack” normally $164.97 ($0.09/mg CBD) but as I write this, on sale for $131.97 ($0.07/mg CBD)

Medterra
Medterra takes a slightly different approach with their sleep aid—it is in tablet form. The company is Hemp Authority certified—that is a very big plus and indicates serious efforts to be transparent and produce a high-quality product. 3rd party results are found at the bottom of the pages and listed as “Certificates of Analysis” or COAs. All products are made in the USA with zero THC. All are non-GMO as well and they provide “seed to sale” tracking.
Each tablet contains 25mg CBD and 10mg melatonin. That may be a bit high for the melatonin, but as mentioned, still in the well-tolerated range. The tablets are spearmint flavored. Tablets also contain D-Mannitol, Crospovidone, Dibasic Calcium Phosphate, Xylitol, Spearmint, Avocado Oil Powder, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide. For those of you who are geeks, those are the excipients, sweeteners and fillers often used to make a tablet and are very common.
The cost for 30 tablets is $55.99 which works out to $1.87 per tablet—not cheap, but if they help you sleep better, probably well worth it! Most reviews were 5/5 stars, so there is a pretty good chance they will work. Still, it didn’t work for everyone.
