A Great Night Sleep Is Priceless!

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.

What an impressive family affair! Congratulations Dr. Powers and Dr. Powers 🙂 !

Powers Family Dental has moved from 26 Dale Avenue to 18 Dale Avenue. Dr. Conor Powers, Dr. Michael Power’s eldest child, has joined the practice and is as congenial, warm and fastidious as his father. What hasn’t changed? The wonderful staff and dental hygienists! Michael’s sister Gina Muniz and niece Candace Balboa also work at the office. The expanded practice features six gleaming exam rooms outfitted in comfort and style with the latest and innovative equipment, efficient dental chair tech, custom sound system, and imaging–the x-ray being the sole carry over from the prior digs.

The new headquarters is closer to Central Grammar, directly across from the post office, with plenty of windows and views. Parking is available on Dale Avenue plus there are a few spaces on the building lot. From Dale Avenue, the accessibility entrance integrates a classic New England architectural detail into its design: a sweet and safe bridge crossing walkway to the front door. More Power To You 🙂

Arthritis Pain?

 by Angel Wings Wellness

Arthritis Pain?

If you have chronic arthritis pain, you may be wondering about cannabidiol (CBD) as a treatment. CBD, along with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other chemicals, is found in marijuana. But unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive — that is, it does not cause the intoxication or high associated with marijuana use.

There’s a good chance you’ve tried it already: according to a 2019 Gallup poll, about 14% of Americans report using CBD products, and the number one reason is pain. The Arthritis Foundation conducted its own poll, and found that 29% reported current use of CBD (mostly in liquid or topical form), and nearly 80% of respondents were either using it, had used it in the past, or were considering it. Of those using it, most reported improvement in physical function, sleep, and well-being; of note, a minority reported improvement in pain or stiffness.

Stop by Angel Wings Wellness for a free consultation and FREE samples to see if CBD can improve the quality of your life! Fridays and Saturdays 11-4 or call for a private appointment. 12 Rogers Street

New Year’s Eve, and Thankful

 

PelletStove3941wm

I stayed home today (12/31/14) because I didn’t feel that great. I had a cough at night and a muscle pain in my left leg from physical therapy. When Janet came home from work, we ate a simple dinner of chicken and wild rice, washed down with some bubbly. She went off to a girlfriend’s party, and I’ve been sitting in front of the fire. Soon I’ll be watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin report on the Times Square festivities. To be honest, I couldn’t imagine seeing 2015, but I clearly will. Less than 11 months ago, I was in Beverly Hospital with tubes running in and out of my body, saving my life. For two months, I couldn’t roll over in bed without assistance. That’s in the past. I’ve had a year of recovery, loss of friends and family, and many challenges. I’m looking forward to Valentine’s Day. Happy New Year all.

Next Step for Fred

Walking4769wmAll VNA services have discharged me because of my improvement and insurance requirements. This means no more weekly visiting Registered Nurses (Diane), no more Kathleen (my physical therapist), and Shelly (my occupational therapist). They all helped me so much that it brings tears to my eyes to see them go. Now, I must look to outpatient physical rehab facilities. There are three on Cape Ann (I cannot walk or drive). Two are in Blackburn Park, and one is at Addison Gilbert Hospital, the place that initially saved my life. Transportation-wise, AGH is the most convenient. I’m determined to be walking by Thanksgiving, come hell or high water. Any suggestions for the rehab facility? (Note: I’m also going to follow an exercise program at home. Kathleen: “Walking is the best exercise you can have, because it uses all of your muscles.”) In retrospect, I should not only thank the medical professionals who saved my life three times this year, but also the dedicated professional therapists from Den-mar and Seacoast, who all helped restore my physical abilities and continue to stay healthy.

Brothers in Cancer, Brothers Forever

RobtFred4513wmThis past Sunday, my friend and brother-in-law, Robert Lee Doss (L), died after a courageous battle with cancer. He was diagnosed last February, two weeks after my own cancer diagnosis. Robert and my sister, “Painter Barb,” lived on Martha’s Vineyard, and were frequent guests at GMG and my own events at the gallery.

Robert was a CPA, attorney, and Chief Revenue Officer for the State of Alaska. This photo was taken by sista’ Barb during our last visit together, which was a delightful luncheon at the Emerson Inn. Rest in peace Robert, you were a true friend and the best oyster shucker and grill master I ever knew.

Three Seasons of Illness, and Now Recovery

I  thank Addison  Gilbert Hospital, Beverly Hospital, Den-Mar Nursing and Rehab in Rockport, and Seacoast Nursing and Rehab in Gloucester.

Gilbert Hospital, Beverly Hospital, Den-Mar Nursing and Rehab in Rockport, and Seacoast Nursing and Rehab in Gloucester.

I look forward to posts than other than those about my health. However, I think I’ve opened up an area that many folks are have interest in. I’ll always cherish the hospital and nursing home/rehab/VNA friends who saved my life.

A Birthday Gift of Cheer

I received this beautiful gift at the rehab today from my Friends at Good Morning Gloucester. Thank you so much, and I extend this thanks to all the kind folks who have wished me well and offered their prayers. I'm working hard to regain the strength I had before my appendix went south, and I estimate I'll return home in the next couple of weeks. The Edible Arrangement is called the "Cheer Me Up" bouquet.
