Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Insomnia is a disorder in which people have inadequate or poor-quality sleep due to a number of factors, such as difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently during the night with difficulty returning to sleep, waking up too early in the morning, or having unrefreshing sleep. Defined CBD is a capsule composed of highly purified (\>99.9%) hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and terpenes produced as a potential sleep aid for people with insomnia. This product contains no detectable Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Delta-9-THC). This trial is specifically designed to evaluate the efficacy of Defined CBD on sleep physiology in people with insomnia.
