Need Better Sleep? CBD and CBN may help with their remarkable sleep promoting properties!
When it comes to sleep, not all cannabinoids are created equal. However, here are three cannabinoids that may influence your sleep patterns:
CBD CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound popular for its potential therapeutic benefits. One of its well-studied properties is its anti-inflammatory effect. It also possesses remarkable sleep-promoting properties due to its ability to calm the mind and body.
CBD also doesn’t make you high. Instead, it helps you relax and unwind, which could prove beneficial if you struggle with falling and staying asleep. Research suggests that CBD may help reduce anxiety, which can be a major barrier to falling asleep.
CBN CBN (cannabinol), on the other hand, is a mildly psychoactive compound that forms when THC breaks down. It is known as the “sleepy cannabinoid in old weed” because users claim it induces sedation, which helps them to sleep.
Like CBD, CBN is often touted for its potential sedative effects. Some users report that CBN helps them fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. However, research on CBN’s sleep-promoting effects is limited, and more studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
THC THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It can induce feelings of sleepiness and help you fall asleep faster. However, long-term, heavy use of THC may have drawbacks.
While it might help you fall asleep initially, it can alter your sleep cycles over time. Indeed, studies suggest that regular heavy THC use may reduce the duration of REM sleep, which is vital for memory consolidation and cognitive function.
If you’re considering using cannabinoids for sleep, it’s worth exploring products that combine different compounds. After all, researchers think when cannabis compounds work together, they enhance their overall therapeutic value due to the entourage effect.
While research is ongoing, many users report positive effects on their sleep patterns when using CBN.
CBN may reduce sleep disturbance and nighttime awakening, helping you fall asleep faster. This can be particularly beneficial if you struggle with racing thoughts or anxiety at bedtime.
Sleep duration is another area where CBN might offer benefits. It might improve overall sleep quality by increasing the time spent in deep, restorative sleep stages, which are crucial for physical recovery and cognitive function.
Our CBD Sleep Gummies combine CBN (5mg) with CBD (30mg) to enhance sleep-promotion. They are also melatonin-free, so they don’t disrupt your body’s natural production of the hormone.
Instead, they work naturally with your system to help regulate your circadian rhythm. We recommend that you take them consistently to enjoy high-quality sleep from now on.⃰
How Does CBN Work as a Sleep Aid? CBN primarily binds to CB1 receptors in the brain and central nervous system. This interaction is thought to be behind CBN’s ability to promote sleep.
This cannabinoid may also offer pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory benefits, indirectly improving sleep quality. Chronic pain and inflammation often disrupt sleep patterns, so addressing these issues may lead to more restful nights.
Furthermore, by reducing anxiety—a common barrier to quality sleep—CBN could help you relax and fall asleep more easily. Anxiety is a known sleep disruptor, so keeping it in check undoubtedly enables you to sleep more easily.
Our CBD Gummies offer a blend of cannabinoids that may synergistically promote relaxation and better sleep. They are formulated to melt away feelings of worry, irritability, and negative outlooks.
Our industry-leading formula in these Gummies features ultra-calming cannabinoids CBG and CBN and a specially formulated de-stress blend of botanicals, including St. John’s Wort and chamomile to support mind and body relaxation and target feelings of anxiety for overall mood support. ⃰
Many users report positive experiences with CBN-infused products for sleep. However, everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, so you may need to experiment to find the right dosage for your needs.

Meet Isabelle! Your future sunshine companion. This 7-year-old girl is from Puerto Rico and is a ball of pure happiness and wiggle energy. Sweet, gentle, and endlessly affectionate, Isabelle is the kind of dog who happily follows you from room to room, rests her head on your lap, and fills your home with calm, comforting vibes. Puppyhood is in the rearview mirror, and Isabelle is living her best life with cozy beds, easygoing strolls, soothing voices, all the pets she can get. Isabelle can be selective with other dogs, and isn’t a fan of cats. She knows who she’s comfortable with, so she’ll thrive best as the only pet in the home-where she can feel safe, relaxed, and soak up all your attention (and yes, she loves being the center of it!).
Isabelle is considered special needs, but her medical considerations are very manageable. She has a mild heart murmur that currently requires no treatment-just a cardiology recheck in 9-12 months to keep an eye on things. She also previously had a benign facial mass (a trichoblastoma) that’s already been removed; no further treatment is needed, just simple monitoring to be sure it doesn’t return. Gentle, grateful, and full of love, Isabelle is ready to give boundless affection to the person who offers her the second chance she’s been patiently waiting for. Could that be you?
Great news! We’re running a New Year’s adoption special and waived the adoption fees for Isabelle until Monday 1/5, to help her find her forever home!
