CBN: the molecule of restorative sleep

It's 11 pm, you're lying in bed, wide-eyed, with your mind racing. You're exhausted, but your brain refuses to shut down. Sound familiar? Welcome to the insomniac club. We've all been there at some point or another. Sleepless nights can have many causes, but the solution to this problem can be as simple as a molecule: CBN.

CBN, or cannabinol, is a molecule produced by cannabis. But don't worry, it won't make you high like THC. Instead, it has relaxing and sedative properties that can help you fall asleep faster and improve the quality of your sleep. So, how does it work?

CBN acts on your body's endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for regulating many functions, including sleep. It binds to CB1 and CB2 receptors present in the central and peripheral nervous systems to produce a relaxing effect on the body and mind. This can help reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, all factors that can disrupt sleep.

Furthermore, CBN is also known to increase the total sleep duration. A study conducted in 1975 showed that doses of 2.5 to 5 mg of CBN increased the total sleep duration in the test subjects. Another study conducted in 2018 showed that higher doses of CBN (up to 300 mg) also increased sleep duration in mice.

Now, you may be wondering how you can get CBN to help you sleep. Well, the good news is that CBN is increasingly available on the market in the form of dietary supplements or high-CBN CBD oil. You can also find CBN-rich cannabis strains in some dispensaries, but make sure to check the legality of purchasing these products in your area.

However, as with any medication or dietary supplement, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before taking CBN. Although CBN side effects are rare, they can include daytime sleepiness, fatigue, dizziness, and a decrease in blood pressure. So, it's important to take CBN with caution and not to take it in excessively high doses.
