Sleep is one of the essential processes without which our body cannot do. A high work pace, accumulated stress or an excessive supply of blue light can very easily throw off our sleep cycle. What effect can kratom have on sleep? We will discuss the answer to this and many other questions in today's article!
The human population in modern times is largely plagued by sleep problems. For example, a study states that in the United Kingdom, approximately 50% of its population suffer from sleep disorders. In one of the recent articles, we focused on the comparison CBD and melatonin, the combination of which has proven to improve the quality of sleep. But what about kratom, which is considered one of the most effective stimulants?
Let's take a closer look at the issue of the natural substance and its effects on sleep!
Kratom aka Mitragyna speciosa
Tree leaves Mitragyna speciosa (note the Latin name for kratom), which are further processed, are a highly sought after item. As you probably already know, kratom is found mainly in Southeast Asia, and the people of this region have been using it for centuries for its stimulating and sedative effects. It is often used here in the form of chewing the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, making tea or smoking. In the Western world, kratom powders, tablets and extracts of effective alkaloids, which the leaves of this tropical tree contain, have become the most widespread.
Users often describe kratom in superlative terms for its wide range of uses for everyday problems. As for sleep, it is often severely disturbed by stress, which, according to the reviewers' experience, kratom can deal with very well. The alkaloids contained in Mitragyna speciosa (primarily mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) bind to opioid receptors in our brain and can thus help us reduce pain, relieve accumulated tension and in some cases lead us to a euphoric state.
Which type helps you sleep better?
We have already mentioned that kratom has many benefits. But how do different types work for sleep? Alkaloids are again primarily responsible for its beneficial effects. Thanks to them, our body gets into a pleasant state and this helps our night's rest. However, the contents of these substances differ according to the different types of Mitragyna speciosa leaves. What differences individual types of kratom are they hiding?
Red (red) kratom
This strain is used primarily for its calming and deeply relaxing effects, which can even be sedating. Red kratom can relieve symptoms of acute insomnia, depression, or pain. Its effects last for a relatively long time, so it can help you get a quality night's rest without waking you up.
Green kratom
This is one of the more universal strains that can help with a comprehensive list of our everyday problems. It affects cognitive function and various physical ailments. When taken at the correct dosage, it would this type of kratom was supposed to be able to help with sleep as well and falling asleep. However, in small amounts it can stimulate, so it may not be the most suitable for solving our problem.
White and gold kratom
We must not forget about white kratom, which, however, is completely unsuitable for solving sleep problems. Based on the alkaloid profile, we can declare it to have strong stimulant effects, which is the exact opposite of what we want to address. It is therefore definitely not recommended for people suffering from insomnia. In general, its use in the evening hours is not suitable, when due to the stimulation of the organism, it can prevent peaceful falling asleep.
The same is true of golden kratom, as this species is a cross between white and red, therefore, in addition to psychological calming, a stimulating effect would probably occur, which is undesirable for quality rest.
Conclusion
Kratom, which has been very popular recently, can also function as a good sleep aid. However, it is important to follow the correct dosage. According to some research, our body quickly builds up tolerance when regularly taking higher doses, and addiction can develop over time. Therefore, the dosage needs to be carefully monitored, as kratom can cause side effects in excessive amounts, such as nausea or low blood pressure and associated dizziness.
As for the dosage of kratom itself, we often state in cannabis blog articles that to achieve mild sedative effects, the dosage should range from approximately 3 to 6 grams. You probably understood from the text that red kratom is best for good sleep. If you are not sure whether kratom is suitable for solving your problems, do not hesitate to also take a look at our CBD products, the most popular of which are hemp oils and drops, which work very well for sleep.
