IN REVIEW: Each 1ml dropper of Healist Naturals’ Sleep Drops provides 20mg of CBD to help you rest easy. And with a total of 600mgs per tincture, one will last you a good while. You can simply expect a reliable, non-psychoactive and effective way of lulling you to sleep without any grogginess come the next day. And with a quick onset of around 15 minutes, the Sandman will come for you sooner than you’d think. On top of being a sleep aid, the pleasing peppermint taste & pain relief make this organic CBD tincture well rounded, and well worth it.

Healist Naturals’ broad spectrum hemp extract tincture is an effective sleep aid that’s non-psychoactive and gentle on the stomach. I’ll spare you the long-winded introduction and just get right down to brass tacks as far as how I know this works. In my apartment complex, there’s a family with two very loud young girls who have made every Friday night their official karaoke night. They invite over other young girls, and they have what is essentially a slumber party. 

What I’ve learned is that these elementary school aged girls aren’t aiming for accuracy when it comes to their karaoke song selections as much as they are going for sheer pitch and volume. It’s not that it’s simply hard to sleep on these occasions, it’s that it is impossible to sleep on these occasions.

“Within a half hour I was already centered and much less bothered.”

Yet, nobody has the heart to tell these precious youngsters to stop screaming all night because they are either afraid of them, or subscribe to the old adage of “kids will be kids.” I was both afraid of them and accepting of the fact that they are children. Therefore, my only real recourse was a sleep aid strong enough to dull the shrieks of pre-pubescent fangirls singing Adele in the key of a broken foghorn. This is where Healist's Advanced Natural’s Sleep Drops come into the picture.

I took about 2ml for a total of around 40mgs of CBD. This was a lot more than I usually take, but drastic times call for drastic measures. (It’s not really that drastic. Though had it been 40mgs of THC, it would have been an entirely different story.) Within fifteen minutes of administering these peppermint flavored drops, I could hear the screams of the children fade into the background. And within a half hour I was already centered and much less bothered. 

I slowly stopped noticing the racket coming from next door, and I was even able to read several pages of some Grisham. As I was getting wrapped up in the intricacies of this legal thriller, my eyelids started to seesaw, and the siren song of sleep was beginning to drown out everything that impinged on my eardrums. My wife was also gone for the weekend, which meant I got to sleep in the middle of the bed instead of relinquishing my side and sleeping halfway off my side like some drunken squatter.

As a post-workout choice, Healist Natural’s CBD tincture also hits the mark. I’d incurred a hand injury earlier in the day, and even that wasn’t bothering me as much. Same goes for my sore muscles. I had all sorts of knots in my back and tightness in my hamstrings, and one by one those nuisances took a back seat to the tranquil relief given off by this organic hemp extract.

“ I even managed to have some rather lucid dreams.”

The sleep I got from these aptly named Sleep Drops was lasting and deep. I even managed to have some rather lucid dreams, which is sometimes difficult when I consume THC before bed. I awoke as fresh as the morning dew the following morning, and even better, I was none the worse for wear. There were no signs of grogginess or ill effects, and I had no problem getting into the swing of the day. When I left my house for a run, I expected to see the karaoke kids passed out on the lawn, holding their vocal chords in agony and covered in bits of karaoke machine hardware. No matter, I had a newfound and powerful tool in my arsenal against impromptu concerts of all sorts, and I will certainly be reaching for it come the next live show.
