1 in 3 adults struggle to get to sleep, and stay asleep every night. If you’re like me and are unfortunate enough to fall into this category I’m sure you’re all to familiar with the constant tossing and turning and a brain that won’t switch off.
So when Extrax, a European based CBD company sent me a DM on Instagram offering to send me one of their mood vapes to try out I browsed their selection and was immediately drawn to their dream vape. As I’m sure you may have already guessed, their dream vape is designed to aid with sleep – bringing a deeply relaxing, dreamy sensation which helps mellow down the mind.
CBD and its ability to aid with our beauty sleep is still a widely under-researched area but studies so far show that CBD can help aid us with our sleep in many different ways. This includes; reducing anxiety levels which decreases the time spent in anxiety induced REM alleviating pain symptoms and enhancing endocannabinoids and adenosine in the brain, all of which help us in getting a restful sleep.
Oh, and at high dosages CBD has also been found to act as a natural sedative by influencing cortisol secretion so you can quite literally ‘knock yourself out’.
The vape arrived in eco-friendly packaging, the perfect sized cardboard box and recycled paper packaging material was also used.
After slipping the vape out of the slim black box it was packaged in I found it was cushioned neatly inside. The vape is straight like a pen and is about the width of a cigarette. It’s very lightweight and is easy to hold when lounging and/or in bed.
My Experience;
I didn’t hesitate to put the dream vape to the test the night I received it. I honestly haven’t had a good nights sleep in a while so I was eager to see if CBD could change that. Previously my experience with CBD has only been to help with my anxiety/mood. I haven’t yet delved into using CBD to help with other areas, so this experience is a first for me.
On the side of the box the dosage instructions were printed which read; Repeat inhalation 3-6 times to achieve the desired effect. As I consume THC daily which contains some percentage of CBD I decided to take 6 puffs as my tolerance levels would be a little higher than the average person.
On the back of the box the flavour and terpene profile were listed which was amazing to see. The main terpene profiles of this dream vape are; A-Pinene, Linalool and Myrcene. A-Pinene provides tranquilising effects and Linalool helps slow down your heartrate both increase quality of sleep. Myrcene provides relaxing capabilities which can ease pain and discomfort.
Each puff filled my taste buds with a beautiful piney-earthy flavour that reminded me strongly of a pinewood forest (Dreamy!). The description of the vape noted a flavour of blueberry but I personally couldn’t taste this. I didn’t feel any physical tired effects such as heavy eyes, but my body did feel a little more relaxed. Mentally my mind was more ready and more willing to go to sleep once I’d used the vape.
I awoke the next morning and realised I hadn’t woke once throughout the night (normally I wake roughly 2/3 times throughout the night). I felt much more refreshed than I had in quite a while and I felt like I had actually had a decent night sleep.
The next night I gave the vape to my partner to try. He struggles with his sleep too, he took the same amount of puffs as me as he is also a heavy THC user. The next morning he woke up and confirmed that he too slept throughout the night without waking once and felt like had had a much more restful sleep.

Do I recommend Extrax?
Yes, if you’re somebody who struggles with sleep I highly recommend trying the dream vape from Extrax.
I’ve tried many of the other natural sleep remedies in the past such as melatonin but none have helped quite like CBD so it is definitely worth a try if you haven’t before.
