CBN: The Sleepy Side of Cannabis
If you struggle to get a good night’s sleep, meet CBN (cannabinol)—CBD’s lesser-known but powerful cousin. Unlike CBD, which promotes relaxation without sedation, CBN is known for its sleep-enhancing effects.
CBN forms when THC ages and breaks down, but don’t worry—it doesn’t get you high like THC does. Instead, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote deeper, more restful sleep.
Why Try CBN for Sleep?
Many people turn to CBN because of its potential sleep benefits, including:
- Falling asleep faster
- Staying asleep longer
- Waking up feeling refreshed
Some studies suggest that CBN may work even better when combined with CBD and terpenes like myrcene, creating an entourage effect that enhances its sedative properties.
How to Use CBN?
Like CBD, CBN comes in different forms:
- CBN Oil or Tinctures – A few drops under the tongue before bed.
- CBN Gummies or Capsules – Easy, pre-measured doses for convenience.
- CBN-Infused Sleep Aids – Special formulations with melatonin or other calming ingredients.
Start with a low dose (around 5-10 mg) and increase as needed. Everyone’s body reacts differently, so give it time to find what works best for you!
