James says, “CBD has some wonderful benefits towards sleep and helping you to get a better, deeper quality of sleep. More, more restful, more sound. I take it myself before I go to bed every night. Four years ago, I came down with some heart issues myself and they think that was due to sleep apnea, which I didn’t know I had. So I went in, I got tested overnight at one of the hospitals. It found I had 29 events per hour. An event is where you stop breathing. Your body just pushes some adrenaline into you to get your heart jumped, and you start breathing again — 29 times an hour. 30 is super serious, and I was right at 29.

“I took melatonin and these things for years as well. But since I’ve been doing CBD oil and wearing my sleep apnea machine, my face mask, my events per hour have gone down to 1.2, 1.5 per hour. And my quality of sleep, I’m sleeping almost nine hours a night.”
