Last updated: 9 November 2026
The best CBD oil for sleep in the UK is a broad spectrum oil with 0% THC, a clear mg per drop, a batch lab report and a place on the FSA public list. Our pick is our own Sleep CBD Oil, one of the few UK CBD oils with a botanical, passion flower. CBD isn’t a sleep treatment.
Prefer CBD on its own? Our Broad Spectrum CBD Oil meets the same checks. Full spectrum oils contain THC, and isolate is CBD alone. We make CBD oils, so we are not neutral. That is why this guide starts with a checklist you can use to judge any brand, including us, before showing our own picks.
Our two evening oils
Sleep CBD Oil is broad spectrum CBD with passion flower extract and a myrcene-led terpene blend, in 500mg or 1,000mg. Broad Spectrum CBD Oil is CBD and coconut MCT oil only, in 500mg, 1,000mg or 2,000mg. Both have 0% THC, are on the FSA public list, vegan, made in the UK and tested by ISO 17025 accredited labs.

Best CBD oil for sleep (UK): our picks at a glance
We make these, so judge them against the checklist below.
| Choose it if you want | Our pick | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| An evening blend with botanicals | Sleep CBD Oil | Broad spectrum CBD with passion flower extract and a myrcene-led terpene blend. 500mg or 1,000mg |
| Just CBD | Broad Spectrum CBD Oil | CBD and coconut MCT oil only. 500mg, 1,000mg or 2,000mg |
| No taste, exact amount | Broad Spectrum CBD Capsules | 10mg or 25mg per capsule |
| A non-CBD bedtime drink | Magnesium Glycinate Sleep Complex | Magnesium bisglycinate and citrate with L-theanine and botanicals |
| A warm evening drink | Reishi Mushroom Adaptogenic Complex | Reishi hot chocolate |
Quick facts
- Sleep CBD Oil: broad spectrum CBD (0% THC) with passionflower extract in MCT oil; 500mg or 1,000mg, 10ml.
- Serving: About 0.2ml of the 500mg (0.1ml of the 1,000mg) gives 10mg of CBD; our oils suggest up to half a pipette. The FSA advises healthy adults to take no more than 10mg a day; this is precautionary advice while research continues, not a legal limit, so if you want to stay within it, use about 0.2ml on the 500mg (0.1ml on the 1,000mg).
- On the FSA public list (validated application RP438).
- CBD batch lab reports (ISO 17025) on request: lab testing.
- Made in the UK, vegan, adults 18+.
Best CBD for sleep by need
The right choice depends on how you like to take it, how much you already use and whether you want CBD at all. Here is what to look for in each case, with an example from our range.
| Need | What to look for | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| New to CBD | A 5% oil | Sleep CBD Oil 500mg | About 0.2ml is 10mg |
| Botanicals as well as CBD | Each extra named on the label | Sleep CBD Oil | Passion flower and a myrcene-led terpene blend |
| CBD on its own | Two ingredients, no flavouring | Broad Spectrum CBD Oil | CBD and MCT oil, nothing else |
| No taste, exact amount | A fixed mg per capsule | CBD Capsules 10mg | One capsule is 10mg |
| You already take more | A 10% or 20% oil | Broad Spectrum 1,000mg or 2,000mg | Less oil per dose |
| Lowest cost per mg | High strength, bigger bottle | Evolabs 30ml 2,000mg | Our lowest price per mg |
| Drug tested at work | THC “not detected” on the lab report | Any of our broad spectrum oils | 0% THC, checked every batch |
| No CBD at all | Named forms such as bisglycinate | Magnesium Sleep Complex | A bedtime drink with no CBD |
How we chose
- On the FSA public list: CBD food products should be linked to an application on it.
- Batch lab reports: independent ISO 17025 testing for CBD content and contaminants.
- 0% THC: broad spectrum or isolate only, never full spectrum.
- Strength per drop: easy to work out how many drops make 10mg.
- Price per mg: judged on the cost of each mg of CBD, not the bottle price.
Drug tested at work? No CBD product can promise a negative test, so read does CBD show up on a drug test? first. Searching for the best CBD for sleep and anxiety, or sleep and aches? CBD isn’t a treatment for either, but the same checks apply; see best CBD oil for anxiety in the UK and best CBD oil for pain in the UK. For where UK rules are heading, see the FSA’s first CBD approvals explained.
Does CBD oil help you sleep? The short version
The research is small and mixed. The trials below used between 15mg and 300mg of CBD a day, all above the FSA’s 10mg a day advice, and the results range from better sleep quality scores to no difference from placebo. A 2025 review that pooled six placebo-controlled trials found no clear effect for CBD on its own.
The largest trial gave 1,793 adults with poor sleep 15mg of CBD or 5mg of melatonin for four weeks. Sleep scores improved in every group, CBD did no better than melatonin, and there was no placebo group, so some of that change may have happened anyway. In a 2026 trial in people who worry a lot, neither 50mg nor 300mg of CBD a day did better than placebo.
CBD isn’t a treatment for insomnia, and no CBD product can claim to be. For the trial-by-trial detail, read what the research says about CBD and sleep. The habits in how to sleep better still matter most, and if sleep problems last more than a few weeks, see insomnia and speak to your GP.
How to choose a CBD oil for sleep: the checklist
| Check | What good looks like | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Spectrum | Broad spectrum (other hemp compounds, no THC) or isolate (CBD on its own) | Full spectrum contains THC, a controlled drug in the UK that can affect drug tests |
| 2. No detectable THC | THC “not detected” on the lab report | The label alone is not enough |
| 3. Strength and mg per drop | Total mg, percentage and mg per drop on the label | So you know exactly how much you are taking |
| 4. Drops per 10mg | Easy maths: about 4 drops of a 5% oil, 2 of a 10% oil or 1 of a 20% oil | The FSA’s advice is based on 10mg a day |
| 5. Carrier oil | A simple, named carrier such as MCT oil | Fewer surprises, and easy to check for allergies |
| 6. Flavour and botanicals | Unflavoured, or extras listed by name (for example passion flower or myrcene) | Botanicals have no authorised health claims, so check what’s in the bottle and any cautions |
| 7. Batch lab report | An independent report for the batch you are buying | Confirms the CBD content and checks for contaminants |
| 8. FSA public list | The brand can tell you which application its product is linked to | Products not on the list should not be on sale in the UK |
| 9. Price per mg | Price divided by total mg of CBD | Bottle prices hide big differences in strength |
| 10. No medical claims | Honest wording, no promises to cure insomnia | Claims like that break UK rules and are a warning sign |

Which CBD oils do UK round-ups pick for sleep, and how do they compare?
UK round-ups that rank for this search, such as the Independent’s 2026 IndyBest list, include Dreem Distillery Night Drops and CBD Brothers Pure Black Oil. Checked on the same facts, popular evening oils, ours included, hold 50mg to 120mg of CBD per ml, so 10mg is between about 0.08ml and 0.2ml.
| Oil (bottle) | CBD per ml | Added for evenings | FSA public list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dreem Distillery Night Drops (10ml 800mg, 30ml 2,400mg) | 80mg (about 0.13ml for 10mg) | Broad spectrum, terpene blend, peppermint, in coconut MCT oil | One entry validated (RP46), one awaiting evidence (RP240) |
| Cannaray Night-Time Oil Drops (10ml 600mg, 30ml 1,800mg) | 60mg (5 drops, about 0.17ml, their figure) | Peppermint, in coconut and organic hemp seed oil; “free from THC” | Cannaray oils listed under RP350 and RP450, validated |
| CBD Brothers Pure Black Oil (10ml, 1,200mg) | 120mg (about 0.08ml) | CBD isolate with terpenes in organic hemp seed oil; “100% THC free” | Listed (as a 10ml 1,000mg entry), validated, RP427 |
| Evopure Sleep CBD Oil (us; 10ml, 500mg or 1,000mg) | 50mg or 100mg (0.2ml or 0.1ml) | 70mg passionflower extract and a 3.5mg terpene blend per half pipette; no melatonin; 0% THC on the batch report | Listed, validated, RP438 |
Checked 9 November 2026 on each brand’s own product page and the FSA public list. The ml for 10mg is our sum from the label strength unless marked. Evopure isn’t connected with the other brands, and we don’t score them: we make Evopure. No CBD oil can claim to treat sleep problems. For more brands, including the oils the Evening Standard picks, see our guide to the best CBD oil UK.
Red flags to avoid
- No lab report, or one that is years old or not for your batch
- Strength shown only as a big number with no mg per ml or per drop
- “Hemp oil” with no CBD content stated (it may be hemp seed oil, which contains little or no CBD)
- Promises to cure insomnia or “knock you out”
- CBD flower or buds, which are not legal in the UK
- Prices that look too good to be true: independent tests have found some CBD products contain much less CBD than their labels say
Oil vs capsules vs gummies vs drinks
| Format | Usually felt within | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oil (under the tongue) | 15 to 45 minutes | Fast, easy to adjust drop by drop | Earthy taste for some |
| Capsules | 1 to 2 hours | Exact amount, no taste | Slower, less flexible |
| Gummies | 45 minutes to 2 hours | Easy and tasty | Often low CBD per gummy, plus sugar |
| Drinks | 30 minutes to 2 hours | A nice evening ritual | Often small amounts of CBD per can |
For most people an oil is the most practical format for the evening, because you can fine-tune the amount. See CBD oil vs gummies and CBD oil vs capsules.
What strength CBD oil for sleep?
- 5% (500mg in 10ml): about 2.5mg per drop. The easiest place to start, since 4 drops is about 10mg.
- 10% (1,000mg in 10ml): about 5mg per drop. Suits people who already know they want more, and the bottle lasts longer.
- 20% (2,000mg in 10ml): about 10mg per drop. For experienced users only.
The FSA advises healthy adults to have no more than 10mg of CBD a day, which it puts at about 4 to 5 drops of a 5% oil.
The FSA’s 10mg a day figure is precautionary advice rather than a legal limit, set while longer-term safety research continues. At Evopure we think it is a very cautious figure, and many adults use more. If you go above it, increase slowly, and check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take any medication.
See our CBD dosage guide.
What type of CBD is best for sleep?
- Broad spectrum keeps other hemp compounds and terpenes but no THC. It’s the most popular choice in the UK.
- Full spectrum contains THC, which is controlled in the UK and can show up in drug tests. See full spectrum vs broad spectrum.
- Isolate is CBD on its own, with no taste. See what is CBD isolate?
- CBN “sleep” oils: CBN is often sold for sleep abroad, but it’s a controlled Class B drug in the UK and the research is early. See CBD vs CBN.
- Terpene blends: evening blends often use myrcene or linalool. Our Sleep CBD Oil uses a myrcene-led blend with passion flower; see passionflower for sleep.
Wondering about melatonin instead? It’s prescription-only in the UK. See CBD oil vs melatonin and melatonin in the UK.
How to compare prices fairly
Compare price per mg of CBD, not price per bottle. Divide the price by the total mg of CBD. A higher-strength bottle usually costs less per mg, and a cheap bottle with very little CBD can be poor value. Our guide to why CBD is expensive explains what goes into the price.
Our picks in detail
These are our own products, so judge them against the checklist above. All our CBD is broad spectrum with 0% THC, on the FSA public list and lab tested batch by batch, with reports available on request from our lab testing page.
Sleep CBD Oil with Passion Flower: our evening blend
Four ingredients: broad spectrum CBD, passion flower extract, coconut MCT oil and a terpene blend led by myrcene, with caryophyllene, terpinolene and alpha-pinene (no linalool or lavender). Available in 500mg (5%) and 1,000mg (10%), so 10mg is about 0.2ml or 0.1ml. Passion flower and terpenes have no authorised health claims: we list them so you know exactly what is in the bottle. See Sleep CBD Oil.
Broad Spectrum CBD Oil: the simple option
Two ingredients: broad spectrum CBD and coconut MCT oil, with no flavourings or botanicals. Available in 500mg (5%), 1,000mg (10%) and 2,000mg (20%), where 10mg is about 0.2ml, 0.1ml or 0.05ml. A good choice if you prefer CBD on its own. See Broad Spectrum CBD Oil.
Magnesium Glycinate Sleep Complex: the non-CBD partner
A berry powder you stir into a drink before bed: magnesium bisglycinate and citrate with L-theanine, glycine and botanicals. Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. To compare forms, see our guide to the best magnesium for sleep. See Magnesium Sleep Complex.
Reishi cacao: the evening ritual
A warm reishi hot chocolate made with reishi mushroom, cacao, maca and, if you like a warm drink in the evening. Cacao contains a little natural caffeine. See Reishi cacao.
Some people use Flow CBD Oil, with ashwagandha and maca, in the daytime and Sleep CBD Oil in the evening. Flow contains ashwagandha, so read who should avoid ashwagandha first.
When and how to take CBD oil for sleep
- Take drops 30 to 60 minutes before bed, after your evening meal. Capsules are slower, so take them 1 to 2 hours before.
- Hold the drops under your tongue for about 60 seconds, then swallow.
- Start around 10mg and stay at that amount for a week or two.
- Keep the same bedtime and a short wind-down routine.
- Note how you sleep, and adjust slowly.
For more on timing, see the best time to take CBD oil and how long CBD takes to work. If you have side effects, see CBD side effects.
iIf you take any regular medication, especially sedatives or sleep medicines, speak to your GP or pharmacist first. Our products are for adults aged 18 and over. We don’t recommend our products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
