How to use CBD to increase concentration?

Why do I find it hard to concentrate and study?

Stress is a common factor that makes us unable to focus and concentrate. When we project and focus on the problems of everyday life - family, pressure to get good grades, the need to meet project deadlines, among many others - concentration and focus become almost impossible. Whether at school, at the gym or in the workplace, the story is the same.

In addition to being distracting, the problem of concentration and stress can be overwhelming, so much so that it begins to disrupt our typical sleep patterns.

Lack of sleep, in itself, can cause serious damage to our health and also worsen concentration and focus by negatively affecting dopamine levels.

Normalising this vicious cycle can be quite discouraging for the sufferer. In addition to stress factors, loss of concentration and focus are often symptoms of certain health problems, such as chronic pain and mental abnormalities like ADHD, depression and anxiety problems.

The effects of these symptoms not only ruin your productivity, but can also make you ill.

Do you think stress is the cause of your poor concentration?

So, de-stress!

It may not be as easy as it sounds, though. But you can start with simple methods of relaxation and calming the mind, such as deep breathing exercises and meditation. Other times, the best thing to do is to get away from the stressor, i.e. take a break. If you are diagnosed with an illness that causes you to lose focus and concentration, talk to your doctor, as mental awareness is crucial. The sooner you detect and manage these health problems, the sooner you will start to feel more focused and concentrated, and generally healthier.

Given cannabis' widespread reputation as an attention and energy stimulant - records go back to antiquity - modern researchers are studying how CBD, as a stand-alone compound, can help increase attention and concentration.

How can CBD help me stay focused?

CBD for focus and concentration - is that possible? At this point, you are probably wondering how CBD can help you stay focused on your tasks. But before that, let's talk a bit about CBD.

The Endocannabinoid System, Concentration and CBD

The Endocannabinoid System, or ECS, is an internal system in humans - and animals. Among other functions, primarily, the ECS helps modulate the level of neurotransmitters in the brain. 

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that bind to specific receptors in the brain to regulate brain cell functions and support cognitive function.

Research shows that neurotransmitters regulate most bodily functions, such as appetite, pain, mood, sleep and others. In addition, neurotransmitters also modulate motor and sensory functions, as well as energy, attention, concentration and memory. 

An irregular supply of these chemicals can cause problems such as poor concentration and focus, increased anxiety, depression, insomnia and many other problems.

Endocannabinoids (compounds produced internally) have similar properties to phytocannabinoids (compounds extracted from plants, such as CBD). A shortage of the internally produced cannabinoid (endocannabinoid) can make you feel unhealthy. CBD is very useful in this case.

CBD has a direct, or indirect, positive effect on dopamine and cortisol. The consumption of CBD and its products, such as CBD oil and CBD capsules, help to increase the internal supply of cannabinoids, support the endocannabinoid system and reduce symptoms that cause emotional, mental and physical problems. CBD for focus and concentration is therefore a very real concept.

The Endocannabinoid System, Concentration and CBD

You may be wondering: "If CBD promotes sleep, won't it make me too sleepy to concentrate on my books?

Not at all. 

CBD promotes sleep by calming your mind, chasing away mental clutter and promoting the right atmosphere for peaceful drifting. However, CBD does not produce the same sleep as THC.

In fact, CBD can even help improve your concentration and alertness. 

It is fair to consider CBD as an adaptogen, as it flows with your body's natural flow. If you want to stay awake longer to study, it may help you achieve more focus. On the other hand, if you need a peaceful rest after a long day at school or work, CBD is your remedy for a calm, sleep-ready state of mind.

CBD reduces stress and anxiety and increases concentration by boosting serotonin production in the brain.

So, no, CBD will not make you sleep. It will not "push" you to sleep. It just creates the right atmosphere for sleep, whenever you want to doze off.

Can CBD help me get better grades?

Student studying.
It would seem so.

You shouldn't expect your grades to go up just because you take a few doses. CBD is not magic.

But, absolutely, CBD can help improve your mental clarity when you need to prepare for exams and help you be more organised with school work. Not only will CBD help you improve your concentration on your homework, but it will give you the energy you need to spend more time with your books.

Leading Benefits Why You Should Combine Studying with CBD in Spain

How can I take CBD for focus and concentration?

CBD products are available in different forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, gummies, creams, e-liquids and more. So, when using CBD for concentration, it all comes down to individual preference.

That said, let's quickly discuss some possible ways to administer CBD for concentration.

With CBD's numerous dosage forms, it is easy to incorporate the compound into your daily wellness regimen. However, it should be noted that CBD is not yet recognised as a medicine - according to FDA regulations - but as a supplement.

Although CBD is considered safe, it is not yet approved by the FDA as a treatment for any condition except Epidiolex, a CBD-infused prescription medication approved to treat two rare forms of epilepsy in children. For best results, use CBD sparingly but consistently.

Here is a basic guide to CBD consumption options to improve your focus and concentration.

Groceries

CBD edibles are a great way to dose CBD while at school or in the office. You can easily take your edibles as CBD-infused gummies. A CBD gummy gives you a satisfying and delicious way to satisfy your craving for a snack while harnessing the therapeutic potency of the active ingredient, CBD. However, because the gummies are processed through the usual digestive route, it may take a little longer to feel the effect after consumption compared to a tincture.

Oils 

These are CBD-infused liquids that are usually available in dropper bottles. There are different types of CBD oils such as full-spectrum CBD and broad-spectrum CBD, which contain terpene. CBD oil, as well as CBD tincture, are used sublingually (under the tongue), swallowed or mixed with your favourite food or drink.

Please note that sublingual administration offers faster and more potent results than topical doses.

Sublingual doses of CBD tincture and CBD hemp oil pass directly through the tissues under the tongue into the bloodstream. In the case of oral administrations, the substance passes through the long digestive route. So while the former gives almost instant results, it can take an hour - or even longer after dosing - before the desired effects occur.

Topics-Creams

Although topical products (creams and lotions) are also common in the CBD market, just off the list of CBD dosage options for concentration and mental energy.

Instead, these skin applications are best used for muscle spasms, tight neck and other related topical applications.

However, these apps can help your sore muscles feel better as you tackle your schoolwork.

CBD as a possible treatment for ADHD and ADD

Can CBD help with ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, is a neurodevelopmental problem that usually occurs in children and often degenerates in adulthood.

Poor concentration, inattention, mood problems, impulsive behaviour and poor decision-making are common symptoms of ADHD. Research shows that low endocannabinoid production not only promotes the development of ADHD, but worsens its symptoms.

Thanks to CBD's effects on the endocannabinoid system, researchers claim that CBD's properties may help people struggling with ADHD.

Other possible ways to increase energy and stay focused

There are other things you can add to your CBD doses to help you stay focused and energised for studying: 

  • Regular exercise
  • Eating healthy and balanced diets
  • Adequate water consumption
  • Reducing stress factors
  • Getting sufficient and quality sleep
  • Avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption 

If lack of concentration and fatigue persist for too long, consider seeing your doctor.

In conclusion

Stress or ADHD can make studying suddenly impossible. Brain fog can be the worst experience if you are a student who wants to concentrate and focus on school work.

Fortunately, the CBD has shown some promising results for stress, ADHD and other adverse neurological effects. 

While there are many other options, CBD may be a safer and more natural alternative to most conventional prescriptions - after all, it has no noticeable side effects. CBD has been touted not only to increase concentration, but to reduce anxiety and stabilise your mood - and, of course, to help you get the best grades possible.
